Mens Shirt That Fits You Best

mens_shirtThe shirt is one of the most basic items of clothing in the wardrobe of any man. In fact, it is so common that we often take for granted that the shirt has actually gone through a lot of changes before taking on the look that we now consider to be the standard shirt for men. During its earliest days, shirts for men did not have any collars. Instead, they had long puffy sleeves and were commonly used by sculptors, painters and other artists. This medieval design is where the present button-down shirt of today originated.

The most common shirt used by men today is the polo shirt. Conceptualized by Rene Lacoste, a popular French tennis player, during the late 1920s, the polo shirt was originally meant to be the new standard outfit for athletes who at the time were confined to wearing stiff uniforms that hampered their movements. After a couple of decades, athletes began to lose interest in the polo shirt in favor of new designs. But during the 1960s, renowned fashion designer Ralph Lauren brought the polo shirt back into the limelight by making it the star of his new Polo collection. Although tennis players have long ceased to use this outfit for their games, there was a much brighter future for the polo shirt in the mainstream market.
