Why someone always says he is short of white shirts while there are over ten shirts in the closet? Because those shirts don’t meet his demands. Different from other single item, a perfect white shirt, not only goes with western-style clothes well, but also matches cowboy’s trousers probably to bright your gray skin color. How difficult it is to find such a white shirt!
“When I wear the white shirts, as if I was covered with a new and clear bed sheet at night, so comfortable , so free!” by Tom Ford.

How to choose
Whether buying ready-to-wear shirt, or making your own clothes, if you want to get the best results to make this shirt as the most outstanding single item in your closet ,you can not ignore any slight details including the difference of cufflinks, collar size and shape of openings, the hard and soft texture of fabric .

1. Figure
Make it that it is not but like a balloon and the body can not be strained. The standard is that the button of the shirt fits the chest. Too tight modeling, or deformation of fabric of the buttons, does not fit you very well. If you are too strong, you can choose the shirt with the shoulder a fold structure, so you feel more comfortable.
2. Texture
One’s rubbish, maybe another’s treasure. There are more than 400 kinds of fabrics of white shirts in the world, including poplin, mini printed clothing, Egyptian cotton and other silk. High-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade are readily available. It’s up to your taste.
3. Collar size
