Square-hemmed shirts....uhmm
I like the idea of square-hemmed shirts.
If you are going to wear your shirt untucked they offer a more finished look than normal curved shirt hems, plus they also feel a little more sporty.
Unfortunately, I think they can make you look a bit....well...square.
Also, I usually see them on short-sleeve shirts and I'm just not a short sleeve shirt kinda guy.
However I like the way this gentleman is wearing the square-hem shirt
First of all, it is a long sleeve shirt!
Secondly, it is cut slim enough but I think a little extra length in the back (like a tennis-tails polo) could help a lot.
This also inspires me to look into those cool Cuban shirts with the squared hem and pleated fronts but the originals seem to fit me a bit funny and the fashion versions are usually a bit over-the-top.
I might have to experiment and take one of my cotton shirts ( not linen because it would curl too much at the hem) to a tailor and maybe they could alter the shirt to a square hem.
Anyone out there have particular success with square-hemmed shirts?
