The unique texture: poplin

Poplin is a strong and stiffer fabric commonly used to make women's and men's dress shirts. It's unique texture prevents it from wrinkling as easily as cotton, so it is a frequent choice for business professionals and men's formal wear.


Poplin shirts come in a variety of colors, and are easily paired with many different styles of dressing.
They are used often as a staple in most office wear wardrobes, the standard poplin button-up dress shirt is an excellent place to start building your outfit.

For men, it is a an opportunity to offset a wonderfully tailored suit with a clean, crisp white or a pop of color if your feeling expressive. For women, the shirts often come in a stretch material which helps the garment mold to the curves of a woman's body rather than hang box like from the chest down. Poplin shirts look perfect under pantsuits, giving a classy and professional impression. They also transition well from day to night, looking very sexy with a pair of dark wash jeans and some flashy jewelry. Add a pair of heels and some dark eyeliner, and you've gone seamlessly from the office to cocktails with your friends. Wearing the poplin shirt tucked into pants is a matter of preference.

Tucking it in creates a more formal conservative look, leaving it out looks more relaxed and comfortable and sometimes more flattering on a women's body. It can be difficult to leave the shirt untucked, as any wrinkles can quickly make the wearer look sloppy and unkempt. A current trend for women is to leave the shirt only half tucked in. This creates a much more comfortable, yet still fashionable look. Rolling the sleeves up in a neatly calculated way also creates a "let's get down to work" look at the office, and a relaxed look during leisure activities. The price of poplin shirts ranges due to quality, workmanship and material but can often be found inexpensively in most department stores.
