Men in shirts not only look irresistibly good, they also embody success, intelligence, discipline and prosperity. While the elaborately produced shirts with collars, button plackets and cufflinks were once reserved for the elite, today even less well-off men can afford the trendy men's look. The hype surrounding this stylish key piece is therefore more than justified.
The history of the overshirt “in a nut shell”
As overshirts were originally worn as underwear, designers limited the look to the visible part of the shirt - the collar. The rest of the garment remained visibly untouched in terms of fashion. Only gradually did the shirt become part of the everyday wardrobe of distinguished families and conform to fashionable etiquette. The fine shirt was worn under a tailcoat or jacket and with a walking stick and top hat at official occasions, banquets, balls or weddings. Today, men's shirts are constantly changing in appearance. Depending on the trend and season, the collar points become shorter, the cuts narrower, the button plackets more discreet and the designs more eye-catching. What never changes is the unique charm that the men's shirt radiates.
Variety of shirts at hemden.de
Whether in your free time or at the office - with a shirt, a man is always well dressed. The selection of designs, patterns and colors ranges from plaid, stripes and polka dots to paisley, floral or animal prints to shirts with contrasting collars and brightly colored button plackets. Every man will find his own personal style. Those who wear shirts to the office can choose between different fits and collar styles. The classic shirt for the office is the white Kent collar shirt. With its spread-out shape and tapered collar legs, the Kent collar can be worn for any occasion - with or without a tie. The button-down shirt is very popular for casual wear. The firmly fixed collar legs keep the shirt in shape and ensure a perfect fit even on action-packed days. To prevent the shirt look from looking too strict, the top two buttons are worn open and the shirt sleeves are casually rolled up. Jeans, trainers and sunglasses complete the look. There are also clear differences in fit between business and casual shirts. While business shirts are usually slightly fitted but not tight-fitting, a casual shirt can be more form-fitting.
Our exclusive brands such as SEIDENSTICKER, TOMMY HILFIGER, MARVELIS, STENSTRÖMS, CASA MODA and others show that a shirt doesn't just go with a suit and tie with their trendy casual collections. Slim fit shirts are the perfect partner to sporty shorts. Thanks to the figure-hugging fit, they conjure up a slim line and give the wearer a youthful and modern look.

The Flexi technology of our jersey shirts gives you maximum freedom of movement and a noticeably soft feel in any situation. Breathable and cooling at the same time, the fine cotton balances out your body temperature and gives you a cool look even on hot days. Our linen shirts with short or long sleeves are also ideal for summer. Want to make your look smarter? Then put a thin knitted sweater - in a color that matches your outfit, of course - loosely over your shoulders. That way, even a little summer shower won't affect you.
