Men's shirt: with or without pocket?

What man isn't obsessed with his own shirts?

Stories of collars, cuffs, colors, fabrics, fits, buttons and many other details that today more than ever confuse the ideas of those who decide to buy a new shirt for a particular occasion. Especially when it comes to having a new tailored shirt made, the possibilities for choosing and personalizing your garment are almost endless.

Among the thousands of doubts that float in our heads, we often ask ourselves: "Is it better a shirt with or without a pocket"?

It must be said that contemporary fashion continues to raise doubts, perplexities but also new needs in men in the constant search for elegance, especially since the gilet officially went out of fashion. In fact, it is not uncommon that in the office it is more and more frequent the need to have some small objects within reach such as eyeglasses, a pen, a simple handkerchief or even some business cards. Hence, the shirt pocket plays an essential role in everyday life thanks to its innate functionality.

Now that we have understood what the pocket on shirts is for, we want to show you the rules that the male etiquette "imposes" in order to be truly impeccable at all times.

Meanwhile, did you know that there are two main types of pockets?

Let's see them right away.

Let's immediately dispel the myth that a shirt must not have a pocket in order to be elegant.

The office dress code is in fact a prime example of this. A shirt to wear every day at work must be formal but also functional, which is why our advice is to prefer a round pocket.

Its shape will restore elegance and sobriety to your look, without having to give up the convenience of always carrying your business cards with you ready to be delivered to your potential new customers.

Rule number one is always the same: don't overdo it, especially in this case. In your pocket, try to put only a small object, the most essential one in your daily life.

On the contrary, if you want to give an extra touch of personality to your style with an informal outfit, we recommend that you wear a shirt with a pointy pocket. In this case you can also indulge yourself with the choice of the color of the pocket itself, different from that of the shirt.

Nowadays clothing, the combination of colors, the choice of a model or a detail tell who you are.

That's why our best advice is always to choose the style that best represents you, following the label, but with personality.

The use of backpacks, shoulder bags, purses and clutches in men is increasingly frequent and the practical role of the pocket on shirts is becoming a mere choice of style.

Fashion and elegance are made up of choices, now it's your turn.
