Men's Funky Shirts

How to Wear Men’s Funky Shirts?

Versatile and easy to style, there are several ways to wear your favourite funky shirt from Joe Browns.

Why not button up your shirt to the top for a cool and preppy look? Alternatively, if you’re wearing your patterned shirt somewhere warm, such as by the pool or at the beach in the summertime, simply throw on your shirt unbuttoned and wear it as a stylish surfer-style cover-up. If you want to wear your funky shirt in autumn or winter, simply layer a long sleeve henley beneath it for a fresh, layered look.

How to Match Ties with Patterned Shirts?

The shirt and tie combo is a smart styling classic, but it can be tricky with a patterned shirt. You don’t want to distract from the funky print or create a less-than-elegant clash.

The key is to choose a plain tie that matches a colour element in your snazzy shirt’s print. For example, a navy or hot pink tie would look remarkable if you have a navy blue shirt with hot pink flowers.

Can You Wear a Patterned Shirt with a Suit?

You can never go wrong with a black and white suit, but to stand out from the crowd, some bursts of colour and whimsical patterns are in order!

Wear a classic black blazer and waistcoat, buttoned up but with a hint of your shirt’s bold and brilliant print peeking through to catch the eye. Or go for one of our brightly coloured tailoring options with your funky shirt to really be the life and soul of the party.

What Trousers Work Best with a Statement Shirt?

A statement shirt is a bolder choice, and the key is to let it do the talking by keeping your trousers more understated.

Opt for plain trousers in neutral tones like black, navy, or grey to avoid colour clashing. Dark denim offers a sleek, modern look, while lighter jeans bring a more relaxed, casual feel. If you're after a bit of texture, corduroy or linen trousers add interest without taking away from the shirt.

Can You Layer a Funky Shirt Under a Jumper?

Layering a funky shirt under a jumper is a great way to add depth to your outfit while keeping the shirt's bold print in play.

The key is to choose a jumper that's simple and doesn't compete with the shirt’s pattern. You can roll up the jumper sleeves to show off the shirt’s cuffs for an extra pop of colour or pattern. A chunky knit works well for a more relaxed feel, while a fitted jumper adds a more refined finish. Just make sure the shirt peeks through enough to keep that statement vibe!
