Sister Denim Composite Limited – Thermax Group
Denim is a material that is ingrained within the very core of menswear. From jeans to jackets and everything in between, the practical and rugged fabric makes its presence felt within our wardrobe season after season, come rain or shine, and will continue to do so for generations to come.
Able to slot naturally into casual, smart-casual or business-casual outfits, the slim-fit denim shirt looks just as great paired with boots and jeans as it does dressed up with a textured wool tie and tweed blazer during autumn/winter. Not only that, lightweight versions will transition through to high summer with ease and can be worn open over a vest/tee.
Winter Smart Casual
Introduce a strong tactile element within your smart-casual ensembles in winter, with the denim shirt setting the tone. Jackets are mostly preferable fashion for this time. Look to create depth with carefully curated layers – in this case, each piece utilizes texture as a key characteristic and defining focus.
Dress up the denim shirt for a business-casual situation, pairing your denim shirt with a seasonal suit – in this case lightweight denim shirts always preferable. Two hard-wearing fabrics are perfect for the colder months, although the suit could easily be swapped for a lightweight linen version come summer.
Business-Casual
Off-Duty: Spring/Summer
This look illustrates how a denim shirt can be worn all year round. Keep the outfit simple, functional and with an off-the-moment twist – utilizing key trend-led pieces from recent seasons to create a fashionable, off-duty ensemble. Although we are choosing a light wash shirt today, a darker wash would seamlessly integrate within this look – demonstrating how colour isn’t a barrier for the denim shirt being tagged as a true menswear essential.
Whatever you are thinking denim jackets and jeans may often steal a lot of the limelight, but a denim shirt can be considered the quiet workhorse of your daily fashion.
