Poplin Formal Shirts

Men's Business and Formal Shirts in Poplin Material

Poplin is one of the best materials for making formal shirts. It is a crisp fabric, quite dense and therefore very durable - easily able to deal with the stresses of a working day. There is, after all, a big reason why so many shirt makers use poplin for their formal shirts: a shirt made from poplin will look sharper and smarter for longer. We have hand picked the best styles and deals in poplin shirts for men, below.

About our Poplin Shirts

Poplin is in fact a method of weaving, rather than a material or yarn in itself. Poplin for shirts is usually made from quality, long staple cotton fibre. The weaving technique of having a different tension for the warp compared to the weft, results in a slightly texture, soft yet durable material, with an elegant, sharp look. Depending on the fibre used in the weaving, poplin can be used for a variety of purposes, including upholstery and rain-coats. However, when made with quality cotton fibre, the poplin material produced is perfect for formal shirts, making them crisp to look at, yet soft to touch and wear. 100% cotton poplin is usually only reserved for the finest, top quality shirts. It is reasonably crease resistant, and quite easy to iron, although is not specifically made for this benefit, as with the Easy Iron shirts here.

Above we have included some fine examples of men's poplin shirts, and included a variety of formal shirt styles, such as double cuff, cutaway collars, checked shirts and striped shirts, from some of the best shirt retailers and makers in UK, including TM Lewin, Charles Tyrwhitt and Austin Reed.

A poplin shirt will always be smart and crisp looking. These shirts are perfect for that super smart look, and are made to be worn complete with elegant tie and business suit. But if you are after for a softer, more relaxed look for your formal shirts, then you should also consider the Oxford weave shirts. This is a more relaxed material, and so looks softer, and is a little gentler to wear.
