Well, people wear clothes to go with their life or lives.

What is your life like? Where do you live, where and at what do you work or study? Those are some big determiners of a wardrobe.

Why's he making you the shirts? Just because he's your friend or is he also hoping to get something out of it? Presumably not practice if he's already a Master, but maybe to have some fun? I think I'd encourage him to try his hand at couture for a few of them - you might get lucky.

His practice is going very nice. He is returning a favour (well personally I did not want him to do all this but he is insisting from months now and I said to him that one or two shirts are going to be fine but he is not listening infect he was insisting to make couple of trousers and some shirts so on the end we agreed on 5 shirts)

Congratulations Raz, that's fantastic.

As the others said, think about what fits in with your life.

Also, think about those you admire.

Also, think about what will compliment that which you already own, if you don't want to buy a whole new wardrobe.

Two white shirts sounds good. Given these five will probably form the base of your shirts, make sure the other three are also versatile in terms of colour and use.

A cut away collar would be nice on one of them, like majorly cut away
