Polyester Shirts For Men
Polyester refers to a group of petroleum-based polymers. Sometimes, to achieve better resultant properties, they are blended with natural fibres like cotton. Polyester fabric has comparatively higher resistance to wind than cotton. It also has low moisture absorption capacity that makes it a better choice for winter and rainy seasons. But in summer, polyester can’t compete with cotton to address your problems of perspiration. Also, its breathability is relatively lower than cotton.
But for those who spend brief periods in outer atmosphere and most of the time in air-conditioned spaces, polyester shirts are an all-time choice at affordable prices.
Casual & Formal
Polyester shirts can be categorized as casual and formal. Casual shirts usually have a low-high firm collar, a pocket or two on the front. Mandarin collar, buttoned down collar etc fall under the casual category. The button placket at the front centre can be in contrast to the dominant hue of the garment to create a subtle emphasis. On the other hand, formal shirts have a high -high collar leaving enough room to slide a tie. Usually, it has no patterns or pockets. The more simple and less detailed, the more formal it is. Formal shirts are preferably worn with a tie and a suit.
