A dress shirt is a traditional yet useful present for him. In fact, in order to choose a gift that will be appreciated, it’s enough to know his size and favorite color.

However there are a few points you should keep in mind:

STYLE

Take notice of his favorite outfits – are they classic, casual or trendy? What does he usually wear? This will help you figure out the style that best defines him.

COLOR

Classic colors, such as white and light blue are the most safe choices, especially for a man prefers timeless style and wears sophisticated clothing every day. Otherwise also pastel colors and shades of grey are easy to match and therefore quite safe to gift.

If the gift is for a creative person with a bold and daring personality you can opt for bright and original colors. Think of his personality and try to figure out what color is the most suited for him.

PATTERN

Solid color shirts and those with thin stripes are classics, while checks and patterns are great for a casual man. Just think whether he usually wears solid color or patterned clothing, checks or stripes. The easiest choice is to pick one of the sober solid colors, which are easy to match with everything and perfect for both formal and casual outfits.
