Men's shirts on sale

Button-down, Italian collar or classic collar

The collar sets the level of dress for a shirt. The button-down collar, where the points are fastened to the placket with two small buttons, is a feature of the casual Oxford shirts by Fred Perry and Gant; it is worn without a tie. The Italian collar, with its widely spread points, frames a thick knot and is suitable for office poplins. The classic collar, with its narrower points, remains the most versatile. A well-planned wardrobe should have at least one shirt of each collar style, and the sales are the perfect time to fill in what's missing.

Gant and Fred Perry, two stories of Oxford

Founded in 1949 in New Haven by Bernard Gantmacher, Gant made the Oxford shirt its specialty, with two details that have become its signature: a button on the back of the collar and a small loop sewn between the shoulder blades, the locker loop, for hanging the shirt. The Oxford weave, in a twill structure, gives a thick fabric with a slightly textured relief, more durable than a poplin. Fred Perry, a brand founded by the British tennis champion, places its embroidered laurel wreath on Oxford shirts with neat finishes, from the collar to the cuffs.

Flannel and organic cotton: the autumn shirt

Flannel is a fabric made from brushed cotton on one or both sides, which traps air and keeps warmth: it is the shirt for cold months, worn alone or opened over another shirt. The Danish brands Colorful Standard and KnowledgeCotton Apparel weave it from organic cotton, grown without synthetic pesticides. The checked shirt from Nudie Jeans, a Swedish brand founded in 2001, and the denim shirt from Wrangler add a workwear touch. Flannel should be washed at thirty degrees, inside out, to limit pilling and keep its softness.

Short sleeves and overshirts: the shirt out of the office

The short-sleeved shirt, like the Kariban Aces, can be worn open or buttoned in hot weather; it is chosen with a straight hem, designed to be worn untucked, and with a sleeve that stops mid-bicep. The casual models Revolution and Billabong follow the same weekend vibe. The overshirt Project X Paris, made from a thicker fabric, layers as an extra layer for mid-season. The French brand Faguo, founded in 2009, and Le Temps des Cerises, another French label, complete the selection with relaxed cuts.

Frequently asked questions

Why are the buttons on men's and women's shirts reversed?

The most common explanation dates back to past centuries: men dressed themselves, with their right hand, while affluent women were buttoned by a maid placed in front. No source confirms it for sure, but the practice has remained.

How to iron a shirt quickly?

Iron the shirt while it is still slightly damp, starting with the collar, then the cuffs, the sleeves, the shoulder yoke, the back, and finally the fronts. The iron slides better on the reverse side for dark fabrics.

How to whiten a yellowed white shirt?

Soak it for a few hours in lukewarm water mixed with sodium percarbonate, then wash it normally. Underarm stains should be treated before soaking with a paste of baking soda and water, left to act for half an hour.

How to transport a shirt without wrinkling it?

Button it up, fold it around a piece of tissue paper, or roll it around a soft garment, then place it at the top of the suitcase. Upon arrival, hang it in the bathroom during a hot shower to de-wrinkle.

Slim or regular shirt: which fit to choose?

The slim fit hugs the chest and waist, ideal for a slim silhouette or a tucked-in shirt. The regular fit, which is straighter, provides ease: you should be able to pinch a few centimetres of fabric on each side of the waist.
