A strong wardrobe relies on foundational pieces. The shirt is a versatile cornerstone. From casual to formal, it adapts to any occasion. Here, we explore six essential types of shirt every man should own.
We understand that the modern man values both style and substance. Our approach blends contemporary trends with timeless classics, focusing on quality and clean designs. Our men’s shirts aren't just garments; they're building blocks for a wardrobe that effortlessly transitions from day to night.
#1 The Classic Button-Down
Looking for formal shirts? The button-down shirt is a timeless wardrobe staple. Its versatility is undeniable, transitioning seamlessly from formal to casual settings. Among the different types of shirts, the traditional button-down often carries a classic, somewhat conservative image. At mnml, we've reimagined this essential with a modern twist. Our collared men’s shirts and button-up designs offer a fresh perspective on this classic piece, blending tradition with contemporary style. Our Striped S/S Shirt is a great example of an updated version of the classic, with its cropped, boxy silhouette. Layer it with a white shirt and Ultra Baggy Cargo Pants for maximum effect.
#2 The Flannel Shirt
Soft, textured flannel adds a touch of modern edge to any ensemble, transcending its rugged roots. Flannel shirts excel in casual settings, offering warmth during cooler evenings or a laid-back layering piece over a graphic tee. For a more polished take, opt for a slimmer fit and pair it with dark wash chinos. Don't be afraid to experiment with bolder colors and patterns, like our Ombre Flannel Shirt that has unique details like a raw edge hemline and adjustable button closure at the wrist. Paired with our Skinny Stacked Ripped Denim jeans and a graphic tee, this will be a favorite shirt for years to come. Explore our selection of premium flannel shirts, designed with a modern sensibility and crafted from 100% cotton for maximum softness.
#3 Graphic T-shirts
The graphic t-shirt has embraced its role as a streetwear staple. But not all graphic tees are created equal. Achieving a fashion-forward look with a graphic t-shirt starts with fit. Avoid overly baggy options – a relaxed, boxy fit that compliments your physique is key. Fabric matters too. Opt for high-quality, breathable cotton or cotton blends that drape well. Now, onto the graphics themselves. Look for streetwear graphic tees with subtle designs, interesting artwork, or logos from your favorite streetwear brands.
When it comes to styling streetwear shirts, the possibilities are endless. Layer a graphic tee like our Burning Desire Tee under our new Satin Bomber Jacket for a casual yet cool vibe. Dress it up with a bomber jacket and chinos for a unique take on smart casual. If you're wondering what to wear to the beach guys, our streetwear graphic tees are a perfect choice. Pair them with shorts and sneakers for a laid-back, stylish look. Explore the curated selection of streetwear graphic tees at mnml, featuring exclusive designs and high-quality materials that elevate the everyday tee to a statement piece.
#4 The Linen Shirt
As the temperature rises, linen becomes your best friend. This breathable, lightweight fabric keeps you cool and comfortable during the summer months. Unlike cotton, linen gets noticeably softer with every wash, developing a unique character that adds to its charm. Linen shirts are perfect for beach days, adding a touch of effortless sophistication to your seaside ensemble. But their versatility extends far beyond the shore. Pair a linen shirt with tailored shorts for a stylish summer dinner outfit, or layer it over a white shirt for a relaxed weekend look.
Our linen shirts are anything but ordinary. Our unique linen blend offers the best of both worlds: the luxurious drape and breathability of linen with the wrinkle resistance you crave. This linen blend shirt is designed to turn heads wherever you go, especially when paired with our Zipper Baggy Denim Shorts. This strategy of incorporating trending elements while maintaining a timeless foundation will ensure your personal style stays ahead of the curve without sacrificing core essentials.
#5 The Polo Shirt
The polo shirt has undergone a transformation, evolving from its sportswear roots to become a stylish essential. Once relegated to the tennis court or country club, the polo now offers a smart-casual alternative to the traditional button-down. The key to pulling off the polo is fit. Avoid sloppy, baggy silhouettes and opt for a polo that tapers slightly at the waist or is relaxed and boxy.
This short sleeve shirt excels in a variety of settings. It’s perfect for weekend outings, adding a touch of polish to your casual attire. It can also be dressed up for more formal occasions by pairing them with tailored chinos and loafers. Embrace a bolder approach with our Fleece Oversized Polo Shirt. This, paired with our Washed Ultra Baggy Sweatpants creates a flattering and modern look.
#6 The Overshirt
The long sleeve overshirt is a layering champion. This versatile piece adds a touch of texture and luxurious dimension to any outfit. Long sleeve overshirts come in various styles, from lightweight linen options perfect for summer layering to heavier thermal options like our Everyday Thermal Tee . Paired with our Ultra Baggy Work Pants and a jacket, this is a fashion-forward ensemble for an effortless weekend look. Explore different cuts to find the perfect fit – a boxy silhouette offers a relaxed vibe, while a more tailored option adds a touch of sophistication. Overshirts excel at elevating everyday outfits, and mnml offers a curated selection of heavy, long-sleeve shirts, crafted from premium fabrics and featuring modern cuts that seamlessly blend function with fashion.
