How do you wear a dress shirt with jeans? The key to wearing clothes that are traditionally incompatible (like a dress shirt and jeans) is simplicity. The rule is this: the more complicated the outfit, the easier it will be for you to get it wrong. Choose one color, stick to one piece of clothing or accessory, avoid more than two accessories in your ensemble. Replete with simplicity and straightforwardness, and you’ll never go wrong.
A dress shirt is a perfect garment to wear underneath a blazer, or more casually under a cardigan. However, it’s the one item of clothing that can make or break an outfit. If it’s too tight in the underarms, too long in the sleeves, or too baggy around your stomach then it won’t do you any favours at all and will just act as an extra layer of fabric and get in your way.
But perhaps the biggest question that arises when wearing a dress shirt, is how do you combine it with pants? I mean, you can’t just wear any old pair of pants with a shirt, it just doesn’t work like that!
