70+ years Of Crafting Menswear
We didn’t invent contrast trim on a dress shirt (has that been confirmed?), but we have become the leaders in finding new and innovative ways to execute it.
The beauty of contrast trim, which is a contrasting color or pattern on an inside section of collar or cuff, is that it gives you two shirts in one. Button the collar and cuffs, and wear a tie, and the contrast disappears. You’re dressing formal. Lose the tie, loosen the neck and cuffs, and that shirt is a different animal; more relaxed, more casual, with more personality.
Our contrast trim dress shirts have become popular, and with each season and new designs and options, contrast trim finds its way into more and more men’s wardrobes. We have expanded the concept, doing bold and subtle trim, on our polos and linen shirts. This is a definitive quality of Paul Fredrick shirts.
