The classic traditional shirt for men is characterised by a lighter cut and stand-up collar. This type of shirt is usually worn in white or light blue.

Oktoberfest t-shirts? “Oh no”, we here you cry, not those hen-party things with printed phrases? “Never be caught dead in one…” If you’re in the market for Bavarian tops and Oktoberfest t-shirts, then read on as we show you three types and the looks to wear them with.
