Stop Wearing Your Shirt WRONG (How To Style A Dress Shirt Correctly)
About this video
Centeno teaches common mistakes men make when wearing dress shirts, covering proper tucking, fit specifications for collars and cuffs, shoulder alignment, sleeve length, and shirt formality levels. He explains how dress shirts differ from t-shirts and polos in design and purpose, and emphasizes the importance of proper fit and layering with jackets for optimal appearance.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that dress shirts are designed to be tucked in due to their curved hem design, unlike t-shirts and polos which can be worn untucked
- Centeno recommends that collar fit should allow two fingers of space when fully buttoned, and that shoulder seams must align with the end of your shoulders—this is non-negotiable for proper fit
- Centeno states that dress shirts should always be worn with a jacket layer (blazer, sports jacket, or suit jacket) to complete the look and justify slightly longer sleeves
- Centeno explains shirt formality hierarchy, with white dress shirts in popplin or broadcloth being the most formal, followed by light solids, conservative stripes, and darker solids or checks being more casual
