Do you want to make sure your dress shirt sends out the right message about you? We believe that there are two approaches to this, either choose a color based on the mood you are in or based on the mood you want to be in!

Do you want to be seen as organized and put together? Then a white shirt, like a white extreme cutaway shirt, is the perfect choice for you!

There Is a Time and Place for Each Shirt and Color.

The shirt you choose for an occasion should make you feel confident and comfortable, but it is also important that the color of your shirt fits in with the situation and atmosphere of the occasion. You do not want to look like you misunderstood the dress code!

For a more casual event, like a date or a drink with your friends, you could choose a shirt in a brighter and more joyful color, like green or blue for example. However, if you are attending a formal event, then a shirt in a classic color like white, black, or perhaps grey is a safe card!

Yes, the color of your shirt can be important depending on situation and occasion. We do not think that wearing a less conservative color to an interview or meeting would ruin your chances of success. But it could send the wrong message about you. For example, if you are interviewing for a job in a traditional and conservative industry, then a bright red or neon green shirt might not be the best choice. In situations like this, we think that sticking to the classic colors might be your best option as this will help you to create a more positive and professional impression. Remember, the first impressions are always important.

Other Factors, apart from the Color to Consider.

In addition to the color of your dress shirt, it is also important to consider the fit and style. The fit should be flattering and comfortable, and the style should reflect your personal preferences. You might also want to consider the fabric of the shirt and whether it is suitable for the climate or season. For example, a 100% cotton shirt is a great choice for this coming summer season!
