Discover 4,000 shirts from over 50 global fashion houses across Work, Play, and Indulge – three distinct expressions of contemporary menswear
Few pieces in a man’s wardrobe are as versatile as the shirt – crisp and intentional for a working day, relaxed and effortless on holidays, expressive after hours. It takes on a different character with every occasion, setting and mood. Yet, beyond its adaptability, a shirt’s appeal lies in the details that define it – its fabric, fit, construction and the way it is worn.
Its enduring place in menswear is reflected in the category itself, with shirts and T-shirts accounting for 34% of India’s menswear market in 2025, according to IMARC. While a shirt may be familiar, the way it is being discovered is changing. Deloitte India’s 2026 fashion research found that consumers are increasingly upgrading essentials and investing in quality with nearly 40% having explored new fashion brands over the past year.
It is this spirit of discovery that comes to life through Shirt Stories. The edit brings together 4,000 shirts from 50 brands across three distinct expressions of contemporary dressing: Work, Play and Indulge. Each offers a different way into the category – from workwear & relaxed weekend dressing to elevated evening styles – bringing together labels, fabrics, silhouettes and details to discover under one roof.
