Quality mens shirts: a solution to Prince William’s fashion woes?

31 Jan 2012

It seems just yesterday that Prince William was lining up alongside best man and brother Harry in their finest formal shirts for what was deemed the wedding of the decade to bride Kate Middleton.

But less than a year on from his big day, it would appear that the popularity of Prince William could be on the wane – thanks to his rather lacklustre dress sense.

The unveiling of GQ’s latest Top 50 Best Dressed Men in the UK list featured an array of new entries this year, with room from Prince Harry and even the would-be king Charles himself.

Yet despite the addition of this royal pair, another name was missing from the list – Prince William.

In truth, the absence can be explained, with William and Kate currently enjoying a seemingly endless tour of Royal visits with young Wills expected to look at his dapper best in the finest formal shirts money can buy.

But fashion waits for no man, regardless of whether he may one day sit upon our nation’s throne, and his exclusion from this list should remind the Prince that in fashion as in royalty, you are only king for a day.

There was of course a time when William’s name was synonymous with fine cotton shirts.

However as time has gone on, tastes have changed and while the Prince may hope that simply dusting off a pastel blue number for the cameras could return him to his former glory the more apparent message is simple: must try harder.

Today’s man has a wealth of fine shirts at his disposal, with designs mixing the striking with the formal for truly memorable looks.

The Royal one may have studied at Eton College but in truth, today he would be better served by studying the current catalogue at Eton Shirts.

After all, a quick perusal of their latest designs is likely to point him in the right direction to ensure that he returns to the GQ list for 2013.

The Limited edition slim fit designs available from the Eton Shirts website should be his first port of call. Designed to highlight the more muscularly toned male, one design to watch is the printed poplin shirt with contrast piping behind placket with a matching button thread.

Priced at £170.00 this is a shirt truly fit for a king and comes in a choice of four different collar types including cutaway, moderate edge stitching, extreme cutaway and button down.

In any instance, this shirt, like many of the limited edition collection on offer from eton is tailored to your specific needs, so that even if you aren’t a prince, you will enjoy a royal service.

With designs like these in plentiful supply, Prince William has no excuse for not shaping up with a slim fit shirt design.
