Men's embroidered shirt is a manifestation of identity, dignity and respect for Ukrainian traditions. It is equally suitable for a solemn event, an official event or even everyday style. To choose "your" embroidered shirt, you should consider several important factors. In this article, we will tell you what to pay attention to so that the purchase is successful and the thing is a favorite for years.
1. Choosing a color: harmony with style and character
❖ Fabric color:
-
White embroidery is a classic option, universal for any age and event. It symbolizes purity, light, and a new beginning.
-
Black is elegant, restrained and expressive. Ideal for evening events or a strict look.
-
Gray, beige, blue are modern shades for everyday style, easily combined with jeans, pants, and jackets.
❖ Embroidery color:
-
Red is a symbol of energy, love, and courage. It suits temperamental men.
-
Blue is calming, associated with wisdom, water, and the sky.
-
Black is deep, expressive, and adds seriousness.
-
Gold or yellow is a hint of the sun, strength, and abundance.
Important: choose an embroidery color that matches your color type — skin, hair, and eyes.
2. Ornaments: a talisman that speaks the language of symbols
Ukrainian ornaments not only decorate embroidery, but also carry a deep meaning. The most common motifs are:
-
Geometric patterns symbolize order, courage, and harmony with nature. They are often used in Western Ukrainian embroidery.
-
Plant motifs - oak leaves, viburnum, grapes. They signify strength, fertility, and connection with the family.
-
The sun and crosses are archaic symbols of protection that have magical power.
-
Combined ornaments are modern interpretations of ancient patterns, adapted to urban style.
Tip: if you're not sure what an ornament means, choose one that is emotionally close to you or associated with your region.
3. Fabric: comfort and durability
Men's embroidered shirt should be not only beautiful, but also comfortable. The most common fabrics:
-
Linen is a natural, breathable material. Perfect for summer, it has a beautiful texture.
-
Home-spun cloth is a traditional fabric that creates an authentic look.
-
Cotton is soft, pleasant to the body, and well suited for everyday wear.
-
Blends with polyester are practical, wrinkle less, and are easy to iron.
Tip: Choose thin linen or cotton for summer. For the colder season, choose thicker fabrics, sometimes with long sleeves.
4. Size: the right fit is the key to a good look
A poorly chosen embroidery can ruin the impression of even the most beautiful embroidery. So:
-
Pay attention to the size chart — it is on every product page in ETNOHAT.
-
Choose an embroidered shirt that doesn't restrict movement , but isn't too loose either — a man's look should look put-together.
-
Consider your height and sleeve length — especially important for models with cuffs or embroidery along the entire length of the sleeve.
If you are in doubt, our consultants will always help you choose the right size.
5. Style and Occasion: When and How to Wear an Embroidered Shirt
-
For formal events : choose classic models with white or black fabric and discreet embroidery.
-
For festive events : bright embroidery, richer ornaments are allowed. Goes well with classic trousers or a suit.
-
For casual style : a linen or cotton shirt with simple embroidery that is easy to combine with jeans or shorts.
6. Caring for men's embroidered shirts
To make the embroidery last a long time:
-
Wash by hand or on delicate cycle at a temperature of up to 30°C.
-
Do not use harsh bleaches.
-
Dry unfolded, away from direct sunlight.
-
Iron the embroidery from the wrong side through the fabric.
7. Embroidery as a gift: a universal option
An embroidered shirt is a great gift for a husband, father, son, godson, or friend. It has a deep meaning, is touching, and will always be a good choice. If you are not sure about the size or preferences, a gift certificate from ETNOHATY will be a win-win option.
