Rocking a funky shirt is the ultimate way to have some fun with your style and create a look that's packed with personality and pizzazz. But perhaps you're a newbie to the vibrant world of patterned shirts? Not to worry. In this guide we'll give you tips on how to wear patterned shirts across all different occasions and soon you'll be funkying up your shirt style with ease.
Nothing says party time like a bold and bright shirt. So, the next time you head to a smart-casual soiree, pick out your most colourful patterned shirt. Then, pair it with your favourite pair of chinos, some smart shoes, and sharp accessories.
Parties are also the perfect place to show off your personality. Why not pick a shirt with a pattern linking to your interests? At Joe Browns, we have stylish, funky shirts for men featuring musical notes and guitar patterns, different animals, artsy prints and more.
Workwear doesn’t have to be plain and dull. Add a splash of fun to your professional attire with some patterning. For a formal workplace, try a subtle botanical pattern toned down with a block-coloured blazer, some smart trousers, and a polished pair of brogues.
If your workplace is more smart casual, be a little bolder. Sport a paisley shirt or even an Aztec print to brighten up your workwear style. Our smart casual style guide can help you handle this type of workplace dress code.
You want to look your best for date night, and choosing a patterned shirt for your next romantic evening out can add to the excitement and boost your confidence.
Florals are synonymous with romance, so try a shirt blooming with roses. Pair with slim-fitting black trousers for a dashingly sleek style, then add boots, a suave jacket and your most dazzling wristwatch. Your date is sure to swoon!
Is there anything nicer than an evening at the pub? We all need one every now and again! So why not add to the fun of the night with your favourite patterned shirt?
For a relaxed night, just grab your go-to jeans. A leather jacket adds some cool-guy grunge to the style, or go for distressed denim for a similarly laid-back look.
While a simple white shirt is a classic, we think that the brilliance of a patterned shirt fits the joyousness of a wedding perfectly. Choose a smart patterned shirt - bonus points if you manage to match with the wedding’s colour scheme or the florals featured in the bride’s bouquet.
Then, pick out some dapper tailoring in a coordinating colour. A form-fitting waistcoat, a charming velvet blazer and tailored trousers to top it all off. For the finishing touches? Try some suede loafers and add accessories in the form of bow ties and cufflinks.
