CUBAN COLLAR SHIRTS ARE THIS SEASON’S COMEBACK HEROES

A Style which took over Men’s Fashion by storm in the ’50s is back again. The history says it started way back in the late 1800s in South America and was a staple outfit for working-class Men. It is unclear on how it landed upon American Soil but it was pretty big in the 1950s. It ruled men’s fashion scene throughout the decade and slowly disappeared with time. Elvis Presley was a pretty big fan of the Cuban Collar Shirts and it was a big hit with the working dads in America.

 

Also known as “Camp Collar” or “Revere Collar” Shirt it has made a major comeback this season. Many confuse the Cuban Collar with the Hawaiian Shirt but trust us it's not the same.

It looks similar to retro bowling shirts & Hawaiian Shirts but it has way more class. The comeback version has more fitted cuts in the body and is more tapered.

Let's dive in on how to wear a Cuban Collar Shirt

 

 1.Over a Solid Colored T-Shirt

 Wear a contrasted solid T-shirt underneath your Cuban Shirt & pair it with color co-ordinated slim fit chinos to get that perfect look. Keep your Cuban Collar shirt unbuttoned to get your swag on.

 

2.Pair it with Stripped Trousers
