But even with these mutations, the style overall is still a class apart.
Now, there are a variety of dress shirts: some rakish, some louche, and others completely laid back ( Benjamin Bratt displays all these vibes in this Esquire spread). Also, men started buttoning down their button-ups. Collars and silhouettes became oversized or shortened, and bright colors and patterns became prominent. But by the mid-'60s, when the painting debuted, changes in manners and fashion arose. This is the prototypical dress shirt: a button-up, a symbol of propriety and decorum. The character doesn’t waver, covered in a crisp white top that comes near his jaw line. Fans of The Thomas Crown Affair remake will understand what I mean. It is a representation of civility meeting temptation, a work that reflects one man and every man. He wears an unmissable bowler cap, gray overcoat, red tie, and a dress shirt, this one with a point collar. It's a painting by René Magritte, reputedly a self-portrait by the famed Surrealist, that depicts a gentleman standing erect in front of a wall, looking forward, his face covered by an oversized green leafed apple.
Say dress shirts, and “The Son of Man” instantly comes to mind-at least for me.
