Which shirt styles to wear from now up until New Year’s Eve

The run up to Christmas and New Year is like a new season in itself. The atmosphere is eclectic and social events are happening almost every week – calling for special attention to your attire and shirting. At Acorn Fabrics, you’ll find shirt styles for every event. So, whether you’re looking for bespoke shirting for your work Christmas party or something to wear to the festive feast on the big day, we’ve got the perfect shirting for you.

Winter office wear

Workwear during the winter season should be formal yet practical. It’s all about choosing warmer shirting fabrics at this time of the year and sticking to traditional work colours.

For those heading to the office, we recommend our:

If you work in a more laid-back industry or get the opportunity to dress down on Fridays, why not try our Grange DU Wine Striped Fabric or Keswick RE Red Check Fabric? Both styles are perfect for that smart/casual look.

The Christmas party

The Christmas party dress code varies – depending on what type of do you’re having. If you’re all heading out for a slap up meal and drinks, choose one of our smart / casual shirting fabrics like our Burneside Plain Silver Solid Fabric or Jubilee Plain Indigo Solid Fabric.

If your workplace has organised a more formal affair, like a Christmas ball, you can’t beat our black tie fabrics. We recommend our crisp white designs, which include our Balmoral Twill White Fabric and Jubilee Plain White Solid Fabric. And if you’re on a budget, why not try Malham 140 White fabric – there’s 50% off!

Festive family events

Delivering all those Christmas pressies? Taking a trip across the UK to see family? Whatever you’re getting up to, you’ll want to make sure you’re dressed comfortably. After all, you could be sitting around or driving for a long time. Something else to consider is the pattern and colour of your shirting. With Christmas being just around the corner, you’ve got the perfect excuse to dress in rich warmer colours and fun seasonal patterns.

We recommend our:

The New Year’s Eve do

New Year’s Eve is a great time to dress to impress. If you’re heading to a formal affair, one of the fabrics from our formal fabric collection is a must. If you’re looking for something a little more relaxed in style – but still smart – we recommend our solid cotton fabrics. They’ll keep you warm too! Our Fife Plain White Fabric and Sterling Plain Camel Solid Fabric are particularly good choices.

Don’t forget to take a look at our Trouser and Suit Fabrics too!

Acorn Fabrics is one of the only shirting mills that engages with and sells directly to end customers. Aside from this, the quality of their fabrics is on par with the likes of Thomas Mason and other big players in the market. Their collection has some uniquely interesting colours and patterns such as a red striped heavy Oxford (my shirtmaker in Naples couldn't find a similar fabric from any other mill) or the cotton-linen Aruba denim. Having browsed through shirting swatches from many other mills, I also think that Acorn has the best collection of Tattersall shirtings anywhere. I've taken several of Acorn's fabrics to Naples with me and had them made into beautiful shirts.

My Acorn fabrics arrived in Sydney today - including the Malham 280 royal. The staff at Acorn are professional and generous, and head an extraordinary company with excellent quality cloth. I feel blessed to have discovered them and will definitely look forward to using them again in future. Sal B in Sydney

I can't praise Acorn Fabrics highly enough. A wonderful company, I didn't think such companies still existed. Five stars are just not enough!

I have always found Acorn Fabrics to be a splendid company. Their product is of the highest quality, offered across a wide, comprehensive range of fabrics and colours and the 'team' are both veryfriendly and extremely efficient. It is a pleasure to do business with them.
