Casual and unbuttoned, or formal and sleek – you can’t go wrong with a shirt. It’s so easy to top off your outfit with the combination of a T-shirt or vest. In the skatedeluxe Online Skate Shop, you’ll find a wide selection of shirts from skateboard and streetwear brands such as Dickies, Iriedialy, Element, Volcom and Vans, and RVCA. Regardless if you’re hitting handrails or the red carpet for a video premier, or if you’re a guy or gal – your new shirt will take you to the next level.
What kind of shirts are there and what’s the difference?
The names basically say it all when it comes to the two main categories of shirts. You can go with the classic long sleeve shirt, which will help you look fashion-forward in any situation, or you can opt for the light and summery short sleeve shirt. Either way, you’ll be scoring style points with your new shirt in the city, in the park, and for any occasion with this casual look. This is ensured by cool details like breast pockets with band labels or delicate stitching. Buttons with subtle lettering and different fabric patterns can also really help you step up your game.
Whether you choose a clean look with a simple colour combo, the ever-popular plaid or chequer pattern, vertical stripes, or brave and bold horizontal stripes, you can count on high quality and maximum wearing comfort. Finely woven polyester, viscose, and cotton are used to make your style effortless yet chic.
Flannel shirts – not just for hillbillies!
The flannel shirt has its roots in the North American forests, where workers in the logging industry wore them because of their comfort and coverage. Therefore they’re commonly referred to as lumberjack shirts. So if you’re a fan of the great outdoors, you’ll be set in a thick and warm flannel shirt made of 100% cotton. Versions with an additional hood will even help protect from light rain or too much sun. Flannels are a go-to piece that’ll keep you covered in any situation.
Not just a thing of the past – Trendy designs will keep you at the top of your game
We’re not really sure who invented the shirt, but we’re damn grateful for it. Not only for its conception, but also for the fact that it’s been developed and reimagined from the floor-length linen top it was in 925 BC. The button-down shirt we know today is a tasteful look for men and women alike and can be combined with accessories and elements like caps, beanies, or a basic T-shirt.
Find your look – combine tops for a unique style!
The entire range of skate and streetwear with which you can pair your shirts is at your fingertips! It just depends on what your personal style is and whether the temperature allows for the option to wear your shirt directly on your skin, without an undershirt. When skating with a tank top and button-down shirt, you won’t just be looking good in a sporty outfit, you’ll also be prepared for all the hardships. The layered option of a shirt with a T-shirt underneath is perfectly suitable for parties or hanging with a friend in the city.
Find your personal style with different fits
In general, most shirts have some basic similarities, but in terms of Fit, there are some key differences. First, you have to consider whether you want your shirt to slip loosely over your torso or if you want it to outline the contour of your body. You’ll get the light relaxed look with a Regular Fit. It’s also ideal if you prefer to wear your shirt unbuttoned and open with a tank or T-shirt underneath. On the other hand, if you want a form-fitting top to wear with a pair of skinny jeans, the Slim Fit is perfect for you.
Blouse or Shirt? What should I wear?
Basically, anything’s possible, but nothing’s a must. What’s important is that you feel comfortable. The times when men and boys wore shirts while women and girls wore blouses is over. It’s totally normal for women and girls to wear shirts; just as it is for men and boys to wear blouses. If you’re unsure if the top you’re wearing was meant as a men’s or women’s piece, check out the buttons. Buttoned clothing for men has buttons on the right side, whereas female pieces are flipped and have buttons on the left.
