Cream shirts

Can someone explain cream shirts for caucasian men in a business suit context? I never see anyone wearing them, yet the jermyn street makers all offer them.

Re: Cream shirts

Cream shirts are great. Not necessarily for business suits. An underrated colour IMO.

Some sellers (Ede and Ravenscroft) describe yellow as cream though. It is not.

Re: Cream shirts

I'm more for ecru than cream.

Re: Cream shirts

So how would one wear a cream or ecru shirt, with double cuffs and a moderate spread collar? as a fairly light skinned western european man?

Re: Cream shirts

^ with a grey suit? Red tie? Green tie?

It is not a huge challenge. It is fairly close to white. Possibly more flattering on a fair skin than a white shirt.

Re: Cream shirts

I never liked cream shirts...I don't like yellow shirts either. I see too many men wearing shirts that at first glance look cream only to be exposed, on closer inspection, as yellowed white shirts.

Re: Cream shirts

Cream used to be much more popular in earlier decades when people would not have considered wearing a pink shirt.

Not sure why it fell out of favour.

Re: Cream shirts

Full disclosure:

About 2006, I bought a cream H&H poplin double cuff shirt and I looked like shit on legs.
