Advertising feature. Dressing appropriately can make a world of difference when trying to make a first impression. Wearing Charles Tyrwhitt is a great start. Whether it is a formal or casual event, Charles Tyrwhitt has something for every occasion and every man. Having the right shirt, jacket, or men’s coat is merely half the battle. Winning the battle is making sure everything is put together just right, making you feel comfortable and look stylish.

For men who travel frequently for work, CT offers non-iron shirts. These quality dress shirts do not require pressing (they are 100 percent two-fold cotton) – but the convenience doesn’t stop there. They are all machine-washable at 40 degrees, and like the majority of CT’s shirts they do not require dry cleaning. 

Selecting the appropriate size can be a daunting task, especially if you’re just starting to incorporate dress shirts into your wardrobe. Many dressmakers offer a size guide to make sure you are properly fitted, which takes a lot of the guesswork out of the fitting process. Sites like CT shirts also offer advice on how to dress, grooming, as well as such hints as 10 things you did not know about white shirts. 

Websites like Charles Tyrwhitt’s make it nearly impossible to choose the wrong shirt, starting with categories such as classic fit, slim fit, or non-iron shirt, then moving on to color and size to help find the perfect shirt. After finding the perfect shirt, jacket, or tie, Charles Tyrwhitt will assist in coordinating to make sure a comfortable, confident, stylish gentleman is born.

Finding the right shirt does not stop with color and cut, but the collar should also be considered. There are certain collars that go with certain faces. The point collar tends to elongate the face, so can make a rounder face appear elongated. The cutaway collar’s points are further apart and will reproportion a thin face.

To play it safe and to feel prepared for any event, ten things you should have in your wardrobe: white formal shirt, linen jacket, trench coat, navy suit, dinner jacket, pair of chinos, pair of brogues, solid tie, cashmere sweater, and a classic t-shirt. Three wardrobe items you should have from Charles Tyrwhitt: White and Navy Check Oxford Button-down Classic shirt, White Twill Non-iron Slim Fit shirt, and a White Poplin Classic shirt.

If going to a casual dinner party, being comfortable is important. You cannot fail with a casual shirt or a cashmere sweater. Remember to make sure your shirt is clean and pressed.

If attending a wedding, the usual suit that is worn to work will not cut it. Dressing according to season is important. If it is a winter wedding, a darker wool suit would be appropriate. Evening weddings typically call for the most formal wear. White tie and cummerbund if it is really formal, but if it is a bit more casual, a dark suit or blazer would be appropriate. Do not forget about accessories. A silk tie or waistcoat can make all the difference.
