Should be rechanged to favourite shirt brand / bespoke maker. Anyway,

my favourite solid blue shirt I have is from Luigi Borrelli. It is periwinkle blue infused with cream colored nailhead. Made with thick cotton and MOP buttons, I got it from a while ago for a remarkable price of $179.

Pics? I will edit this message later, its evening and Im about to go out.

Agreed. I love my French and royal blue shirts but they are definitely more for the restaurant than the office. Black or silver gray grenadine tie.

Always without a tie outside the office.

Ice blue linen



I'm afraid I don't know the exact fabric of this one. Could be Canclini.

I really like the BB French blue shirts. I usually pair it with a dark red tie that has a subtle French and navy blue pattern, which goes really well with my burgundy pinstripe, navy suit. I realize that my collar size is slightly too big, and that everything I'm wearing is BB, but I am a newcomer, so cut me some slack

For a long time, I liked a sky blue from Thomas Mason Silverline, but I recently got an Alumo Superior in a paler blue which I think will be my new favourite. I don't like high super number shirtings because I prefer a slightly rougher feel as opposed to the silkier/slippery feel of the high ones. The Alumo is about the sweet spot for me, and the colour is great.

French blue is probably one of the worst colors for shirting.

That's a great looking combo there. Could fit in in any conservative/corporate setting but with a more personal colourful twist than white pin stripes and pale blue shirt which is a bit 'bland congressman/bank manager' uniform to me!
