In recent years, the momentum of "Cuban collar shirts" can be described as unparalleled, according to its high exposure, it can even be asserted that it is one of the most frequently worn casual items after T-shirts and polos.
In addition to the summer set pieces that have always been a traditional retro genre, they also show a more modern and sophisticated side in a popular context.
Luxury brands such as prada, jacquemus, paul smith and designer brands have reinterpreted this summer piece with more exquisite fabric craftsmanship and tailoring.

Even looking at many emerging brands, there is no shortage of new stars like casablanca who have successfully stood out with a Cuban collar shirt as a fist product.
As a brand that aspires to become the "hermes of Generation Z", casablanca combines hand-painted watercolors with Neapolitan tailoring to create a number of high-quality silk Cuban collar shirts.
Not only has it earned its eye in the fashion world with a series of colorful prints with French & Moroccan flairs, but it also heralds the birth of a new icon in the field of athleisure style.

It can be seen that the playability of this classic piece is far more than the retro style we stereotype. When it appears in the field of fashion trends, it can still become a delicacy in the eyes of fashion elves.
But then again, since the Cuban collar shirt has entered the mainstream vision in recent years, it is already doomed to escape the law of "rising and falling" with the tide.
The various gushing Cuban collar shirt designs seem to have begun to wear away at everyone's initial freshness, and there is a tendency to develop from the choice of niche taste to the so-called rotten street of "who is ugly and who is embarrassed".

Whether it can finally jump to the base is of course a later story, but at least the Cuban collar shirt will never be labeled as mediocre, because it has too many different distinct styles to choose from.
Next, leo will share with you the cuban collar shirt styles of the three bloggers to see how they express a strong personal style through the Cuban collar shirt.

Haruki Tada is a blogger I've been following for a long time, and although there aren't many fans on the ins account at the moment, it doesn't stop impressed by his stark retro style.
As a clerk at Kodona, a tokyo antique shop, Haruki is particularly keen to draw inspiration from the 1960s and 1970s.
For example, hippie style, everyone knows that hippies who advocated freedom and liberation at that time liked to wear various colors of clothing to fight against the previous restraints of dressing.
Therefore, you can see a lot of bright colors such as rose red, turmeric, pink purple, or Cuban collar shirts with tropical green plant patterns and oil paintings often appear in haruki's shape, and do not stick to black and white gray and blue.
Personally, I prefer the following retro casual shape, the thickness and thickness of the composite stripe pattern accurately grasp the restraint and eye-catching sense of proportion, the fit of the cut and smooth khaki pants contrast quite decently.
Under the embellishment of the painter's hat, round-frame glasses and rubber-soled small white shoes, the literary and artistic youth Fan is ready to come out. Although there is a light retro tone, there will never be a clear sense of violation in everyday life.
On the other hand, the texture of the fabric will also influence the tonality of the shape.
Even now, the application of materials between different Cuban collar shirts has long been out of the norm, such as cotton, nylon, gabatin, wool, knitting and other versions emerge in an endless stream.
But like some silk (blend) Cuban collar shirts with full luster and smooth feel, they will always be more elegant and elegant than linen, rayon and other versions, full of high-end feeling. Even if the design and color are bland and simple, there will be eye-catching texture performance.
In terms of the choice of bottoms, a series of "lazy shoes" such as representative flared pants, sabotage jeans, berets and loafers are undoubtedly the first choice to strengthen the style of tonality.
If you are worried that the flared pants are too old, you may wish to try the same popular micro-horn cut in recent years, the retro taste and modification effect are not reduced, and the appearance will not be too exaggerated.
Of course, there are many orientations to choose from in retro style. In addition to the classic replica gameplay of slightly cosplay, the urban hippy and rude boy styles that integrate the current context are also worth referencing.
As the name suggests, urban hippy with urban scene considerations is more suitable for everyday use than the traditional retro hippie shape. Just like haruki's Japanese interpretation, a relaxed atmosphere is created through a variety of fabrics with prominent drapes or a series of loosely cut casual pants such as military/cargo pants and bread pants.
If you want to try the martial bone style "bad boys" represented by wacko maria, you can choose the Cuban collar shirt style decorated with printed elements such as cashew flowers and skulls, and the contrasting decent trousers form a rude boy shape, and the Yu pi temperament is instantly full.

There are many bloggers who take the high street style route on the ins, but when it comes to winning with solid styling strength, darion is definitely one.
As a regular street photographer of magazines, I believe that after looking through his social accounts with all the styling photos, you will definitely sigh that this Internet celebrity from Los Angeles is a real model worker.
In addition to helping various big names with their goods, he has recently taken to the podium as a model for rhude, a street brand that intends to transform into a fashion house in recent years.
Admittedly, Darion's outstanding appearance adds a lot to him, but in the end, what makes brands willing to throw olive branches for a long time depends on his unique understanding of styling.
For example, about the Cuban collar shirt, darion has provided a lot of model matching ideas, of which the most exposed is the combination of washed jeans + hype sneakers.
The versatility of jeans believes that I do not need to repeat it too much, whether it is retro street or high street fashion, it can be digested one by one.
When it is set as the pants to be worn that day, the top only needs to be completed with any color on the shoe, and the basic hierarchical logic is already firmly grasped.
If you want to further emphasize the high street tone, replacing sneakers with leather shoes, or jeans for trousers will be a one-step choice, and in the middle of the sense of refinement, the casual Cuban collar shirt will also show a sense of luxury.
However, it is worth noting that darion does not blindly follow the current trend of oversize, even if the top is a loose cut, the pants still insist on choosing a fitting/slim fit that can be modified in proportion.
Like the following set, there may seem to be no obvious layering at a glance, but the classic trousers and Chelsea boots with neat lines on the lower body still reflect the resort-style aloha shirt on the upper body more decently.
Originally, this retro-based color scheme was incompatible with chelsea boots decorated with metal elements, but fortunately, the echo of various necklaces, chains, and bag hardware reduced the overall sense of abruptness, but added a little chic meaning.

I believe that the small partners who usually pay attention to topmen will not be unfamiliar with Alice Barbier and JS Roques, the "fairy couple" of the fashion industry.
Basically, whenever the Valentine's Day fashion trend media talks about the topic of couples' outfits, you can almost blindly guess that they are listed.
Without him, aside from the high-quality styling photos of each blockbuster on social media, alice barbier and js roques are indeed a difficult pair to pick up when it comes to dressing couples naturally, with a sense of luxury, and retaining their respective personalities.
In the summer style, the Cuban collar shirt has also become one of the tools of the js roques "dog food".
Compared with the intricate and fancy Hawaiian shirts, js roques prefers simple plain colors, contrast color blocks or line designs, and as for the tonality of haute couture, it is conveyed by the texture and silhouette of the piece.
Even in the fall with a relatively fancy printed shirt as an underlay, the plain suit can still maintain a delicate and restrained high street style.
For example, I personally prefer the following two sets of avocado color as the highlight of the couple style, even if you do not wear the same style, only the local echo on the color level has indicated the identity of the couple.
In fact, the Cuban collar is a unique small crank-neck design, which is the best to use to raise the level or modify the neck line.
Some people may still struggle with the question of "whether a casual shirt should be tied up", in fact, the version of a Hawaiian shirt will generally be wider and longer, and the overly long hem can avoid the sloppy visual sense, and also play a role in modifying the proportions.
On the other hand, short cut styles such as bowling shirts and Cuban collar shirt jackets, even if they are not tucked into the waistband, do not prevent you from building a casual and appropriate style.
The above is about the Cuban collar shirt to strengthen the stylization of the stylized modeling ideas to share, even with the vigorous promotion of the fashion trend industry, the former niche Cuban collar shirt gradually evolved into a popular style for the human hand.
But rotten street does not represent mediocrity, it is precisely because of its classic and versatile attributes, we can adapt to different style design to find a suitable style of expression. Whether it's vintage casual or high street fashion, a Cuban collar shirt is the perfect choice for your personality!
