Opaque shirts - the right fabric for fine occasions

Opaque men's shirts are a must in a well-assorted men's wardrobe and visually enhance every shirt style! No matter how expensive a shirt is, it looks inferior, no matter how well coordinated an outfit is (be it in business or in leisure time), it loses its charm when the unattractive seams of the undershirt press through or the chest hair becomes an eye-catcher. Especially for official occasions and celebrations, shirts made of firmer fabrics such as twill or Oxford are very popular. The robust cotton fabrics also offer other advantages: they are more durable than other types of fabric, offer more protection against cold temperatures and the fine yarns give the shirt a smooth finish with optimum wearing comfort.

Oxford shirts

Oxford shirts are woven in a plain weave and due to their high number of warp and weft yarns they have a firm and rather matt, opaque surface, which makes them the perfect garment for leisure time. The surface texture makes the men's shirt insensitive to dirt and wear, which means that your Oxford shirt will remain beautiful for a long time, even with intensive use. In combination with a sporty button-down collar and jeans, Oxford shirts from ETERNA, SEIDENSTICKER or OLYMP can be styled into casual leisure outfits.

Twill shirts

Opaque twill shirts are the elegant version of the Oxford men's shirt and are characterized by a noble shimmer on the shirt surface. The secret lies in the incorporated warp yarns, which, depending on the arrangement, give the shirt a different exciting textile pattern. Twill shirts, just like shirts in Oxford style, are durable and warm to the touch. A fine yarn thickness not only makes the men's shirt look nobler, but also makes the shirt crease-free and easy to iron.
