Brushed cotton shirts are ideal for cooler weather because the fabric is softly raised to create a warmer, softer handfeel than a standard smooth shirt. They keep the structure of a button-down while adding comfort for autumn and winter.
What is brushed cotton?
Brushed cotton is cotton fabric that has been mechanically brushed to lift fine fibres from the surface. That gives it a softer texture and helps trap a little more warm air.
When should men wear a brushed cotton shirt?
They work best from early autumn through winter, especially for offices, dinners and weekends when a regular poplin shirt can feel too light.
How to style one
- With tailored trousers and loafers for work.
- Open over a heavyweight tee with jeans.
- Under a quarter zip jumper for colder days.
The Pimlico Brushed Shirt is WARDLEY’s winter-ready option in muted seasonal colours.
