How to choose a timeless shirt?

Here's a guide to uncovering the subtleties of this essential garment, while discovering its heritage and craftsmanship. Bourrienne Paris X.

1. A cut that flatters the figure

The cut is the key element in making a shirt feel like a second skin.

• The classic cut: elegance par excellence
  Neither too tight nor too loose, it delicately follows the body's lines while offering freedom of movement. It's ideal for timeless silhouettes and formal occasions.
  Bourrienne's Tip : Bourrienne shirts are designed to hug the silhouette without ever restricting it.

• The fitted cut: modern and refined
  Perfect for a contemporary look, it is particularly suited to slender figures. This choice asserts a dynamic and modern style while remaining within the codes of elegance.

• The oversized cut: casual elegance
  A slightly loose-fitting shirt can be worn casually while still maintaining a sophisticated charm. Paired with tailored trousers, it becomes an emblem of casual refinement.

2. The choice of fabric: nobility to the touch

The fabric is what makes a shirt timeless, guaranteeing its look and longevity.

• Cotton: an essential reference
  High-quality cotton, such as poplin or twill, offers a soft feel, impeccable drape, and exceptional durability.

• Linen: summer grace
  Ideal for warm days, linen brings a lightness and a slightly crumpled texture that evokes a natural charm.

• The blend of fibers: comfort and innovation
  Some subtle blends, such as cotton and elastane, offer a touch of elasticity for added comfort without sacrificing elegance.

Bourrienne's Tip : The house's shirts use carefully selected fabrics, guaranteeing both softness and character.

3. Color: between sobriety and expression

A timeless shirt is distinguished by a versatile and elegant color palette.

• Immaculate white: the epitome of elegance
  The white shirt transcends eras and suits all occasions. From the office to a formal event, it embodies purity and sophistication.

• Sky blue: a subtle classic
  Perfectly suited to professional environments, it adds a touch of color while remaining understated.

• Neutral shades: beige, grey or pastel
  These nuances bring modernity and allow for varied combinations.

Bourrienne's Tip : Bourrienne collections favour subtle colours and textured finishes to enhance each shade.

4. The details that signify timelessness

A timeless shirt is recognized by discreet but essential details, which guarantee its elegance.

• The collar: a signature of character
  A French or Italian collar, with clean lines, remains a safe choice. Detachable collars, a Bourrienne specialty, offer exceptional versatility.

• Wrists: simplicity or refinement?
  Simple cuffs are suitable for everyday wear, while French cuffs, combined with cufflinks, add a formal and sophisticated touch.
