Cutesy hearts are everywhere! You could even wear a heart-print shirt for Valentine’s! So why should you own shirts with whimsical prints?
Maybe hearts aren’t quite your aesthetic. Perhaps a subtle paisley, floral, dot, or a bold abstract suits you better than the heart patterns I’ve shown here. Maybe solids are your thing: just substitute a bold-colored solid shirt here. No worries … the principle of wearing shirts with whimsical prints remains the same. You might be looking at all this and thinking you have nothing like that in your closet for a good reason.
Well, as one of my clients has been joking, I’m helping him change. He’s not wrong. As your tailor, I want your clothing to reflect how awesome you are.
You’ve already heard my spiel about why you need a pink shirt. So give me a chance to explain my reasoning about shirts with whimsical prints.
When Can I Wear a Whimsical Print?
Let’s say you’re headed out to dinner or a date at a nice restaurant. Jeans and a polo look a little too casual, but you don’t feel like a jeans-and-blazer combination either.
Enter the whimsical print shirt. Sure, if you’re staunchly opposed to patterned shirts, a solid one is fine. But it may look a little too much like you went straight from desk-to-dinner, which is fine on a weekday and a little boring on a weekend.
Perhaps you’re on vacation and need something to wear to dinner. One of our clients chose this awesome anchor print in a short-sleeved shirt for an upcoming cruise. It’s a fun choice that will look very appropriate for any meal on any tropical vacation.
