Ever since I have known him, my husband has been very particular about his clothing from keeping his shoes shiny to choosing the right fit for his trousers and shirts. Although you will find Vlad bumming around the house in shorts and a t-shirt whenever he leaves the house to go to work or meet with friends he usually dresses up a little to make a good impression.
Luckily, just as the heat arrived in the UK Vlad was offered the chance to review an item from Mens online formalwear brand Dobell, who pride themselves on being the leading online formal wear store for men and boys of all ages.
Launched in 2003, Dobell’s mission has been to deliver choice, quality and unbeatable value, alongside comprehensive style advice and the very best customer care. They source and design everything in-house and cut out the unnecessary middlemen, working with the best manufacturers around the world.
Seeing as the weather was picking up Vlad decided to choose from Dobell’s linen collection which is perfect for the warm weather as it does not trap in heat, offering a more relaxed style of dress without losing any of the formalities; the white short-sleeved linen shirt came out the winner perfect for work or play.
Virtually all formal shirts are categorised on the measurement of collar size, however, Dobell works on an S – 3XL sizing range so be sure to check their size guide before buying. Vlad is usually a 16inch collar and we went for the 42-inch shirt after breaking out the tape measure!
The Dobell white linen short sleeve shirt is from their in-house label and comes in a regular fit with a standard collar and plain front with a handy breast pocket. My husband is really not keen on slim fit shirts so this was the perfect pick for him. It is made from a comfortable linen and cotton mixed blend which is washing machine friendly which is always a bonus for busy people.
A man’s clothes send a message to the world about him; if they fit him well he will always make a good impression and the good news is that the linen shirt fits Vlad perfectly. There are no tight sections of the shirt, seams that are in the wrong place making it hard to move arms around comfortably or a collar that is too restrictive.
A linen shirt is a great option for when Vlad wants to dress up for work or dress down for a casual evening, making it a versatile option for any man looking for a way to keep cool but at the same time still be stylish in his appearance.
Vlad awards the Dobell Men’s Linen Shirt 5 out of 5 stars.
