How to Style a TAHAANGA Shirt

When it's too cold for tweed and too warm for a down puffer, what do you wear? The easy answer is: layers, rusty brown colors, and more layers. 

Falling between two extreme seasons gives you an advantage to mix and match what's already in your closet - or to completely transform your wardrobe into something new.

What you'll probably notice is that even within the transitional seasons, men's dress shirts are the one common denominator. What's great about a TAHAANGA dress shirt though, is that you can wear it all year round in any season, including those awkward Indian Summer months. How to style one, you may ask? Be prepared for a bit of information.

There are certainly numerous methods on how to wear our men's shirts, but we have narrowed it down to 2 of the most simple and effortless ways to style a TAHAANGA dress shirt: the dressy/formal way, and of course, the casual/sporty way. 

Lose the typical black suit and go for something bolder. Rusty brown is the color of the season, and a strict rule on just how much you can wear it is nearly inexistent (except for the one important principle to stick with different shades of brown). Our shirts' specially woven fabric from Europe is perfect for layering because it's extremely breathable and lightweight. There is never a worry about being too hot, too cold or too sweaty underneath all those suit pieces. 

Fall into something lighter on a warmer and brighter October day. Nothing says casual better than a good ol' pair of blue jeans. Layer a maroon sweater over your crisp blue TAHAANGA shirt and loosely wrap a scarf around for when it gets colder. White kicks always sharpen a sporty look up and so does accessorizing with a pair of dark shades. Since it's still bearable to bike in this weather, our moisture-wicking shirts will leave you dry anywhere you go.

Another important thing to note: taking off your suit jacket or sweater indoors won't leave you short of a wrinkle-free shirt. Feel luxurious and cool at the same time. Now go out there and try something new!

Back-to-Work Dress Shirts

 The Back-to-Work Shirt You’ll Wear For Life.

 

Entrepreneurs, Dads, Travelers:

Summer has officially come to an end and we are now prepping ourselves for the fall season. This means new, exciting opportunities, changing leaves and warm cider. Stay positive with the help of the next big thing: a problem-solving, technologically-infused dress shirt. You read that right – a smart shirt. They say that a good pair of shoes can change your life – we say that a smart dress shirt can. Meet TAHAANGA's JAMES JX 1.0.

 

Imagine you’re running (or biking) late to work – because you’re still getting used to those ‘summer hours’ – and you arrive with odor-emitting sweat stains. Your boss, partner or a group of investors in that conference room stares at you in dismay. So is the solution to wear an undershirt? The truth is, it’s time to pack away your undershirts nonetheless. Not only are our shirts’ fabrics thick enough to cover what’s underneath, they’re also made from technically-enhanced, natural cotton fibers, so they’re extremely breathable.

 

Planning your next business trip can be quite stressful, and pulling out a wrinkled shirt from your carry-on will just add to the stress. Luckily TAHAANGA™ shirts are wrinkle-free! We make this happen by using sustainably woven performance fibers in our men's shirts. Make it to your meetings in a heartbeat and never iron ever again. 

  

Flying back home to your loved ones is probably the only thing you’d be looking forward to in a long destination flight. Stop by a business class lounge, rinse off airplane grime and put on a TAHAANGA™ shirt with delight. Don’t worry about still being humid from the shower – our shirts are moisture-wicking too! Reunite with your loved ones feeling fresh and crisp, Superdad.

 

A dress shirt that’s chemical free, odor and wrinkle resistant, quick drying and breathable. The shirt for work and play. If all of this doesn’t sound convincing to you, I don’t know what will.

I started working as an intern for TAHAANGA in the beginning of June, and my summer with them has been spectacular to say the least. I’m hoping to work in fashion, styling to be precise. I asked Manuela, the company’s CEO and creative director, if I could do a shoot for the brand where I styled our dress shirts in a different way. She was more than enthusiastic to hear that I wanted to do this, and was excited to see what direction I would take.

I wanted to change the way people view mens dress shirts, for them to be seen as versatile and not just a businessman’s uniform. One thing that’s inspired me lately with my art is femininity, especially how it doesn’t only apply to women. I wanted to channel a specific type of softness into the look, using flowy pants, flowers, and by creating the feeling of stillness with my photos. I looked to artists like Picasso and Dali, and performers like Prince and David Bowie to help express the feel I wanted to present with this shoot.

Having my friend, Jorge, model for me made everything easy peasy lemon squeezy. He and I are super close, so when we worked together our wavelengths were basically the same. He understood what I wanted him to do, and perfectly portrayed the kind of TAHAANGA man I wanted him to be. He asked questions to figure out just what I wanted, made suggestions to help complete the looks, and listened carefully when I explained my ideas.

I’m super excited to share the results of my work, and I hope this transforms how people style their dress shirts, because like every article of clothing or every piece of artwork, it’s translated differently by different people - and I hope that translation begins to show when people wear their dress shirts.
