I have presented to you the many fabrics that make up my new Spring-Summer 2018 shirt collection .

I have produced this collection in a dozen different fabrics , so they can be worn for different occasions...

Today, I will help you match them and guide you in your choices by presenting certain products in context so that you can better project yourself and thus no longer hesitate !

For this first, let's start with 3 looks that you can adopt to go to work , namely rather formal outfits , wearing a tie .

Chambray

Chambray is a medium-weight cotton canvas woven with one unbleached thread and one colored thread. This weave helps prevent transparency .

The advantage of chambray is that it is textured , so it is ideal to wear under a suit jacket when it is warm.

Its properties are its great lightness and its soft fall .

I like to wear chambray because it is a very soft and airy fabric and because of its construction it offers a blue tint that is a little different from more usual shirts (end-on-end or poplin).

Many of you imagine it only for "casual" use but with a tie and a suit jacket, the outfit immediately has a more formal look and will work very well at work. As you can see in the photo above, I chose to pair our "Mondello" shirt with our "navy and brown shantung silk tie".

See the result… It’s really beautiful, different and perfect for the season!

The Oxford

Oxford fabric has the particularity of being made with threads that intertwine , forming a grained fabric.

By the way, the oxford fabric is woven with a colored thread and a white thread (which makes the grid effect of the weave possible). It is an excellent balance between texture and refinement . It can be worn in any circumstance. It is an ideal shirt for long days of work and travel .

In the photo above, I paired our Millianni button-down collar with our tie made from a beautiful Vitale Barberis Canonico fabric. Finally, you can see that a checked pattern can add a bit of whimsy and be perfectly compatible for formal wear .

As a little anecdote, the tie has a very nice lining ... (made from shirt fabric)

Poplin

Poplin is woven with a thick thread and a thin thread: this gives density to the patterns and durability to the fabric .

With its smooth appearance, the poplin shirt is the elegant shirt par excellence .

Soft and silky to the touch, it feels cool against the skin and is particularly pleasant in hot weather .

In the photo above, I present our Galliciano model available in an Italian collar, perfectly highlighting our famous presidential tie in navy blue silk grenadine .

The idea being to bring a little color while recalling the blue stripes present on the shirt.

The result is formal , contemporary , and very effective !
