The Denim Shirt

Herringbone Brown blazer in store

One of my favorite things to wear is the denim shirt. It looks rugged but can be worn in a variety of ways. I like wearing them with slim chinos and sometimes with an unstructured sport coat. I could even take it further with a navy or brown silk knit tie as the Italians are so fond of doing. If I want to achieve a dressed down look I'd wear them with a pair of dark jeans (preferably raw), roll up the sleeves and round out the look with brogues. It's never a good idea to wear both a denim shirt and jeans in the same shade or washed look unless you want to look like a cowboy. Here are some Double Denim golden rules 

Denim shirts are sold in different styles which usually fall into two categories: refined and rugged. Either one is a good choice, If the choice is Silky Denim fabric is smooth and lightweight and is cut close to the body. It looks dressy and casual at the same time which allows it to be worn dressed up. On the other side of the spectrum are rugged denim shirts. Rugged denim shirts are made with rougher and often thicker fabric and are cut loose so they can be worn like a jacket over a t-shirt. Most of them feature Western detailing which also differs from each brand, At BrookStreet we prefer it to be simple and no BILLBOARD advertising on the shirt They are best worn with workwear chinos and boots.

 The best part about denim shirts is that it can be worn in a formal occasion and also in an informal party or any function. What I love is to see my girl in them @breakfast. :)
