How to Choose the Perfect Men’s Shirt: Tips from NØLSON Amsterdam

Finding the right men’s shirt can be tricky. From fit and fabric to style and colour, the options are endless. At NØLSON’s flagship store in De Pijp, Amsterdam (Gerard Douplein 2), we help you find shirts that fit your lifestyle, elevate your wardrobe, and feel as good as they look.

Step 1: Understand Shirt Fits

Shirt fit is the foundation of style. At NØLSON, we offer:

  • Slim Fit: Modern and tailored, perfect for a polished, sharp look.

  • Regular Fit: Classic and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear.
    Trying shirts in-store allows you to compare fits side by side and choose what suits your body shape best.

Step 2: Choose the Right Fabric

Fabric affects comfort, durability, and how your shirt feels throughout the day. Key NØLSON options include:

  • Premium Oxford Cotton: Soft, breathable, and ideal for both casual and business shirts.

  • Cotton Twill: Durable and structured for a more formal appearance.

  • Casual Cotton Weaves: Perfect for relaxed, everyday wear.

Step 3: Consider Colour & Style

Your shirt colour and style set the tone for your outfit.

  • Classic Colours: White, light blue, and dark blue for business or formal occasions.

  • Patterns & Textures: Stripes or subtle weaves add personality while staying versatile.

Visiting our store allows you to see true colours, textures, and patterns, which is harder to gauge online.

Step 4: Try Before You Buy

Nothing replaces the in-store experience:

  • Feel the Fabric: Understand the texture, weight, and softness firsthand.

  • Check the Collar & Cuffs: Make sure the details match your personal style.

  • Mix & Match: Pair shirts with your existing wardrobe to see what works best.

At NØLSON Amsterdam, our expert staff provides advice and styling tips to ensure you leave with a shirt that fits perfectly and complements your wardrobe.

Step 5: Explore Bundles & Collections

  • Business Shirt 3-Pack: Perfect for a sharp, professional look.

  • Casual Shirt Sets: Great for everyday style.

Bundles offer variety, convenience, and savings, and trying them in-store helps you make the best selection.
