Three striped shirts and how to style them

At Care of Carl, we often talk about timeless classics. The striped Oxford shirt is precisely one such classic that should be in every man's wardrobe. Its ability to pair well with almost anything makes it a versatile upper garment and a staple in a basic wardrobe. Below, we provide examples of how to style it.

Knitted sweater and wide trousers

Here, we’ve let the shirt take a back seat by wearing it under a knitted sweater that instead becomes the focal point. Nevertheless, the collar and shirt sleeves add a refined style detail to an otherwise casual combination. A relaxed Scandinavian twist with a pair of wide-leg trousers and a knitted sweater from the Swedish brand Filippa K to wear when the cold sets in.

Striped shirt and raw denim jeans

Keep it simple by styling the blue and white shirt with a pair of classic raw denim jeans, a stylish and practical choice. Tuck in the shirt for a more polished look, or leave it untucked for a casual style. Pair with simple white sneakers or boots and add a watch or bracelet for an extra touch.

Shirt and tie

In this combination, the foundation consists of a shirt, suit trousers, and a tie. At first glance, it's a dressed-up look with the tie adding an extra touch, yet it maintains a relaxed silhouette thanks to the casual shirt, loosely knotted tie, and brown twill trousers. The trousers can easily be exchanged for a pair of jeans for an even more laid-back version.
