Come scegliere una Camicia Su Misura

Choosing a tailored business shirt requires some attention to get a garment that fits your needs and style perfectly.

Here are some useful tips:

- Choose the fabric: depending on the season and the occasion, you can opt for light and breathable fabrics like cotton, lightweight wool or linen, or for heavier fabrics like flannel or twill.

- Measurements: First of all, trust a professional. It is important that you are measured correctly to get a perfect garment.

Measurements will be essential to create a perfect tailored shirt!

Diplomatic collar

Its unmistakable shape goes perfectly with a bow tie, tie or silk plastron.
The rigorously white shirt with diplomatic collar is reserved for gala events and important ceremonies. The obligatory choice if you wear a tuxedo.

Italian collar
The neck par excellence in the Italian style. It can be recognized immediately by the more closed ends. Italian collar shirts are characterized by their extreme versatility, preferring smaller tie knots.
