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.

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.
