Sisters, looking for the perfect shirt for your brother as Bhai Dooj gift? Bhai Dooj as we all know is a day to be cherished fully, signifies the never-ending bond of brotherhood and sisterhood as well as the ancient tradition of India. But what to choose as gifts for Bhai Dooj, a challenging task indeed, *sigh*.
Men’s style may seem straight forward, but when searching for a tailored short for him, there are some factors to consider.
Remember fabric is everything: Well, 80 is a standard thread count for majority of shirts men put on, anything above 100 is called superior. Invest in better fabric so that the body of your brother can breathe all through the day.
Better Fit: Find out what looks good on your brother’s body type. Do not compromise with the fitting as the surprise of the gift may be ruined if the shirt you’ve chosen isn’t of right measurement. Many designer shirts nowadays are available in free size which may fit any shape. The classic full-fledged shirt may flatter many men, but choosing a slim-fit shirt will create more tailored effect.
Cufflinks and collars: A thick cuff as well as collar can add to the look of the shirt’s appearance all through the day & night. As your brother cuddle in the shirt, it may bunch, slouch or wrinkle. With an unbreakable cuff & collar, the shirt is going to look ironed yet fresh. A detachable collar stay is also an additional sign of a good shirt. Such a shirt will keep the collar removable while letting him to remove the collar for washing & ironing, so as to protect the shirt.
Suitable for face: The style of the collar can wear or tear the look. Consider the shape of your brother’s face as well as the supplements like a tie he’s going to wear with this shirt. The cut of the collar according to the face makes a huge difference.
Stitching: While choosing a shirt for your Brother on Bhai Dooj, make sure the stitches of the shirt are of higher quality. Double-stitching all over the shirt means high quality. It means the stitches will move with him and the fabric. Also ensure the buttons are lock-stitched so they don’t fall after a few uses.
Check the back thoroughly: The last factor to keep in mind is to test the back of the shirt you’re buying as Bhai Dooj gift. The yoke given on a shirt means the piece of cloth that runs below the shoulder, along the back. There is just one yoke in standard shirts while a premium shirt will have a split yoke featuring a seam right in the middle. This helps in hanging the shirt easily and contouring to the body for comfortable move.
Keep the above factors in mind while buying a shirt for brother for Bhai Dooj celebration.
