On several occasions, I have fallen for men with a sense of art. It is no surprise for ladies to look hot, trendy and sizzling.
A man, however, ought to have worked hard to get the thumb of recognition for his attire. Trends tend to be really weird to the eye at first. Gradually, however, folks pick up and join the bandwagon. It is to my utmost appreciation that the collarless shirt was not shunned at all. Actually, I am shocked at those who don’t have a piece in their closet.
Have you looked at someone, and you just can’t get your eyes off them no matter how hard you try? I have been a victim. I looked at this very clean-shaven guy, dressed in a collarless shirt and khaki trousers, blended with a pair of moccasin shoes. My head had a trip!
Being the nature lover that I am, I praised God in heaven! This fellow was dressed in a white collarless shirt with small buttons assembled in an unusual but very creative and smart way.
Just like people in romantic relationships say, age does not matter. These collarless shirts are fashion-friendly to the young, middle-aged and the elderly. These shirts are already-made, but others choose to have theirs tailored in different materials.
Tour and travel agent Edmund Kajura says when he wears a collarless shirt, he can meet a client, have dinner and go for a wedding in one day because of their outlook. Collarless shirts are presentable and reflect today’s stylish man.
“Besides, you stand out because most people are clad in collar shirts which have been here since time immemorial,” he says.
Kajura says the fabric from which these shirts are bought or made does not matter as long as the print and colour are well-selected and blended to fit the occasion.
Besides the weather, the shirt is easy to maintain no matter how long one stays with it. It is easy to wash. Its rich design is smart and appropriate for meetings, parties, family gatherings and anything else you can think about – apart from sports.
Betty Namutebi, a young but stylish fashion designer with Modern Trends in Kampala, says the market for collarless shirts keeps going high daily.
“People are getting to ‘feel’ the style in these shirts,” says Namutebi, adding that these shirts portray an attractive and classy look on a man.
To pull off such a look, the shirt ought to be fitting.
“If one has a tummy, he still should work out a good fitting especially with the right tailor because these shirts look good on anyone that chooses them for attire,” she says.
Men, I know the accessories that go with the collar shirts may give you the desired elegance, but the collarless shirt will stand out as classy. Give it a try!
