The Powder Blue Shirt : A wardrobe essential

The powder blue shirt by Thomas Masson is a staple of the modern gentleman’s wardrobe. Once a fixture in the corporate offices of 1960s and 1970s America, it remains an essential for today’s polished dresser. It brings a subtle touch of color to your business or event attire — without ever compromising on formality.

Crafted from pinpoint cotton, this shirt features a finely woven texture that sits between poplin and oxford. The result is a refined, slightly textured finish that adds depth while remaining understated. Pinpoint offers the best of both worlds: soft yet durable, it holds its shape throughout the day while remaining comfortable for regular wear.

It will stay in place through a long workday or an evening that stretches on, without ever compromising your appearance.

The shirt

The Fabric

The chosen fabric is a slightly thick cotton, prized for its drape, comfort, and wrinkle resistance. This means that even after a busy day or a long commute, the shirt maintains a crisp look.

The Fit

The shirt features a tailored cut that’s fitted without being tight. It flatters the silhouette while leaving enough room to stay comfortable. Two discreet darts at the back refine the waist, avoid excess fabric, and enhance its dressy appeal. Whether tucked into formal trousers or worn with jeans, it keeps a sharp appearance.

The Color

Powder blue is a timeless shade in any professional wardrobe, and you can’t go wrong with it. It flatters all skin tones, conveys freshness and cleanliness, and pairs effortlessly with charcoal gray, beige, or brown.

The options

The collar

The retro collar adds depth to the shirt. It’s a nod to the sharp-collared shirts that were common in postwar wardrobes. This type of collar frames the face beautifully and pairs perfectly with a tie for a formal, refined look.

The Cuffs

The angled cuffs echo the retro collar and bring a touch of true refinement. They create a subtle transition from shirt to hand, catching the eye of the most attentive observers. Peeking slightly from under a suit sleeve, the effect, however discreet, is guaranteed.

The Buttons

Mother-of-pearl buttons, understated yet elegant, ensure a smooth and secure closure. Their natural sheen gives a premium touch to a classic shirt without disrupting its familiar charm.
