Exactly when can we go out again?
Yes, many of us are toiling away on Dry January, but soon enough the snow will stop falling from the sky and we’ll leap forth from the couch and in to the heart of Saturday night.
With that in mind, we here in JOE are casting our beady eye over the ultimate staple in any man’s wardrobe – the humble Saturday night shirt. Here are some of our favourites, sure to draw envious looks from your mates and approving glances from the lay-dees.
Short Sleeve Fig Jovial floral shirt €37
Topman describe this shirt as ‘jovial’ and, whilst wearing short sleeves in the middle of January is less ‘jovial’ and more ‘death wish’, we’re all for bringing a splash of summer colour to this the bleakest of all months.
Pair it up with black skinny denims and you’ll need your own VIP area and accompanying burly bouncers to keep your admirers at arm’s length.
Red Jack & Jones Premium Red Shirt €45
If you’re the last remaining man in Ireland not to own a red check shirt, what incredible luck that you’re reading this article.
Let us tell you now, you too can look like Bon Iver and ramp your sex appeal all the way up to ‘Rob Kearney’ level by merely procuring a garment like this.
We’ve heard the word “lumbersexual” being bandied around and we reckon this shirt is your basic entry level requirement to join that club.
All Saints’ Ashbury Shirt €115
All Saints describe the Ashbury Shirt as your “day to night essential”, meaning its versatility makes it the Gary Doherty of dress shirts.
At €115-odd, it’s not exactly ‘sexy on a shoestring’ but All Saints tends to wear well and, if you can wear it all day and night, chalk it down as a solid investment.
Team it up with skinny denim and loafers and get ready to hog the Saturday night limelight.
