The end of the year is soon upon us. Whether you’re celebrating Christmas with friends or colleagues, enjoying a night out on New Year’s Eve, or even attending a job interview, you’ll need a shirt that makes an impression. Here at Apache, we’ve picked out a fantastic collection of smart casual shirts from two of the UK’s top menswear brands that will leave you looking sharp and feeling great.
Guide London has set the benchmark in men’s designer clothing since 1985, when Isaac Benson began producing home-made, high-quality menswear. Today, Guide London has grown into a globally famous brand, designing elegant, superior-quality shirts and other clothing. Renowned for its “different” approach to shirt design, Guide London shirts feature unusual buttons, stitching and collar details, in a modern tailored fit.
Another Apache favourite is Jiggler Lord Berlue, a Manchester brand that has made waves in the fashion world since 2011. Inspired by the fine tailoring and flamboyant detailing of the late 18th Century dandy Lord Berlue, JLB’s aim is to create stunning contemporary shirts with an eccentric twist. (Click here for an inside look at their JLB’s design process.) Jiggler Lord Berlue shirts are, like Guide London, distinguished by their unusual embroidery, buttons and stitching detail.
