Shirt, tie and suit: surprises again bourgeois!

Suits with shirt are bankers, insurance brokers or boring? Surprises again! The best evidence is the latest menswear: suits are all the rage!

But in order not to seem so outdated as grandpa or as stiff as the CEO, you should consider a few things.
Enter the suits this summer for leisure as casual as possible - preferably with a simple T-shirt underneath or with a unbuttoned shirt without a tie. A couple of sneakers or light sandals made of leather (of course without socks) and the casual look is perfect.


The colors are in this summer bright colors dominate nature, light gray and pastel tones. The suits are either tight fit and thus emphasize the figure or they are far, casual and airy. For the warm summer months, recommend light materials such as linen or a thin cotton. In these so-called summer suits it is considered casual, they sometimes ironed and slightly wrinkled to wear. No matter what colors are degree in fashion: a white shirt with a suit always looks good.

Always popular in men's fashion: clothes made of lightweight virgin wool, mohair or cashmere.
Again, top hip is the double-breasted, already great-grandfather's time the ultimate in men's fashion. Suits with two-button rows to have by the way also has a nice side effect: a few pounds too much to stomach or hips are laminated transparent and not noticeable.

Totaler trend winner is, however, much to the disadvantage of love handles and beer belly, the one-button jacket. Sorry guys.

Instead tie to the shirt are accessed (n) increasingly to light scarves or silk scarves back that are either bound or not refined or simply placed loosely around the neck.

With all love for individuality and coolness, there are also absolute no-go `s that will never be invalid. These include the following:

Wear NEVER, never a white suit, if they have no absolute great figure! White carries on well known and in the worst case, you will see like a stray polar bear.

Also timeless taboo: brown shoes black suit, or vice versa. Totally out of the question!
Sneaker summer suit? Pleasure! Sneaker socks ....? I'd rather not. The danger of projecting flashing Stachelbärbeinen is then too large. Instead prefer stockings to the calf or booties, ending just below the edge of the shoe. If it looks absolutely the sneaker socks must be, how about then shave before with legs? This is by no means more than unmanly nowadays.

Before washing

The professional sorted before washing already his shirts and dark shirts washed separately from light-colored shirts and white shirts should be washed separately. Because as they say? Like attracts like joins. That you provide ever sure that the white shirts accept no gray veil. Silk shirts or ties you should all sort out and do not give into the washing machine, but treat them to a hand wash. Because these are particularly sensitive Stuffs the washing machine not fully -. Seven or eight shirts in the washing machine range. Thus, the washing machine is about half full. This prevents the wrinkling of shirts and also the fine stage cleans yet optimal, which is no longer the case for more shirts! Who wants to treat his shirts very gently, which puts them before washing in a laundry bag or in a white pillowcase. Alternatively, you should turn left on the shirt.

Also vinegar sometimes works wonders. The laundry is inserted about two hours in diluted vinegar and then washed.


Discolored linen you can insert overnight in milk or buttermilk, rinse and then wash in the washing machine.

The washing process

The detergent - Only the white shirts should their heavy duty detergent (at 60 degrees) wash for the rest enough mild detergent ("Delicates" or "easy care" at 30 degrees), or color detergent for colored shirts.


The washing symbols - On the label of the shirt you will find all the information, whether the garment can be washed in the machine at all and, if so, to what wash cycle and on the other with which the maximum temperature it can be washed.

After washing

Remove the shirts as quickly as possible from the washing machine / the laundry basket. When the washing is left longer time wet and is not dried, it will soon smell musty. The clothes hanging in the closet only if it is completely dry - otherwise occurs the same effect.

The shirts hang after washing on a clothes hanger and firmly pull the button placket down. This ironing the shirt is a bit pre-smoothed and facilitated immensely! Or you can take a tumble in which her the shirt to dry about 20 minutes, let (400-600 revolutions should suffice). Whether the shirt is suitable for the dryer, you betrays a look at the label of the shirt.

Especially iron shirts should you take quickly as possible from the washing machine, shake well and allow to dry on a hanger. If in non-iron shirts wrinkles are still present, these smooth by the body heat while wearing the shirt by itself
