A quality denim shirt is a wardrobe staple for any man. The problem though is how to find one that’s suitable for both casual and smart casual dress occasions. We personally prefer blue washed denim shirts for men as they’re softer and are better paired with chinos and (if you must double denim) jeans.
Whilst acceptable, double denim (or the Canadian tuxedo) is bloody hard to get right. If you want to give the daring look a go, try dark, almost black, jeans and a washed denim shirt on top and trial the contrasting tones from there. If your tops and bottoms match then you’ve taken it too far.
However, denim shirts also look good with just a pair of chinos or trousers (if you think the whole double denim look is too Britney and Justin at the 2001 AMAs) and should be an item of clothing owned by every man; as it can be quite stylish and rugged.

That's certainly true of the Victor denim overshirt, which as its product name implies, is a heavyweight shirt that can act as a top layer even when the temperature begins to drop. A classic blue denim colouring makes it easy to pair with dark or even beige or stone-coloured bottoms, and tortoiseshell buttons provide a subtle but effective stylistic touch.
