Know a Man by his Shirt
Posted Sep 5, 2011
Very often one hears men asking the same question right before getting ready: which shirt should I wear? For some reason, pants do not seem to trouble our gentlemen as much. Upon the not so many variations of the "shirt", ranging sometimes between a t-shirt and a button down, if done properly, the art of making a shirt or wearing one can be more intricate than one might think. Starting from collars to cuffs, a shirt is seemingly a simple yet very complicated thing.
Some might agree that this is the case with most men: looking simple yet hiding a secret closet of complicated.
The right shirt can say a lot about a man, and why not let this season give some wise advice in selecting the proper one?
Mister Casual: check shirts and denim, the easiest way to downplay it and let
your gorgeouness come out. Very James Dean. Don't forget the vintage boots.
Match your button down to an eccentric pair of pants. The new fit goes with
prints and flashy accessories.
Yes: braces on a t-shirt. It's like first love. Slim pants around the ankles let
the boots take the center stage. The must-have t-shirt of the season: Bryan
Ferry covers. How to rock with style.
The line-up: every man needs a white shirt. It's the little black dress for men.
Absolute must in every wardrobe. This season wear it with the new denim fit.
Soft on top and tight 'round the ankle.

DNA Coding: The Corset
At 27, Dolce&Gabbana have achieved an impressive status, client base and cult following.

For this instalment of our archive lead considerations of what makes up the Dolce&Gabbana DNA we concentrate on maybe one of the strongest statement the designers have made over the years: the corset.
