Vichy shirts
Vichy shirts
Men's shirts are the most important elements of elegant and casual stylings. A casual outfit can be more chilled out. Despite the fact that a white shirt put together with jeans looks great, it's even better when you replace it with a more expressive checked Vichy one. It's equally elegant as it is stylish but thanks to the pattern it's more eye-catching.
The Vichy check is a characteristic pattern. It's made of the same stripes printed horizontally and vertically. The most popular Vichy check is a mix of white and blue stripes. Another decent proposition in terms of colours is the mix of pink and green. How about a grey one or more expressive checked duets?
Vichy shirt – classic for every day
Checked Vichy shirts look fantastic in universal stylings. They are not much suitable to suits but surely add style to odd sets made from a blazer and chinos in different colours. The Vichy pattern fits very well to classic jeans. While choosing denim trousers, pay attention to straight cuts without stonewashing or unnecessary decorations.
A checked Vichy shirt combines great with blazers. The best ones are casual blazers with patched pockets, noticeable lapels and elbow patches. It's also worth paying attention to the blazer's fabric. Try out the thicker ones made from wool. In terms of colours, go for heathered grey, warm brown or elegant navy blue.
If you want to go a different way, we suggest a classic, casual and comfortable look. A Vichy shirt can be easily exposed by a styling with a warm V-neck jumper. Here, the perfect offer is a woolen vest in neutral colours like grey, beige, navy blue or the shades of blue. Although a checked shirt and a V-neck jumper make an eye-catching duet, it's also good to improve the bottom of the styling. Try out jeans, a leather belt with a solid buckle and comfortable suede ankle boots or moccasins.
Vichy shirt for informal occasions
Elegant checked patterns in various colours work well also in informal evening stylings. If a men's shirt is to complete the outfit made from a cotton T-shirt and jeans, you can throw it on the shoulders or untuck it and fasten 1-2 buttons.
If you wish to add to such a styling a sports blazer, don't hesitate and tuck it into the trousers. A blazer as outerwear is just one of many options. In an outfit with such a shirt, an interesting addition can be a rock&roll leather jacket or a denim one.
Accessories for Vichy shirts
The stylings with a checked Vichy shirt should be complemented with accessories. Matching up various patterns requires some intuition, but it doesn't concern Vichy. It's because it is so universal that works fantastic with stripes and less regular patterns, such as paisley. A patterned pocket square in the blazer's breast pocket, an expressive tie or an amazing bow tie set with a checked shirt is always a good idea.
In case of accessories, focus on the watch. The best are the classic models with a large dial, a massive silver bracelet or a leather one. You've got to get a pair of sunglasses. The most classy are the wayferers and aviators. They are not only elegant but nicely underline the shape of the face.
The last but not least are shoes. Try out moccasins, low shoes, ankle boots or informal and very comfortable trainers with a solid outsole and lacing.
