There are certain patterns that stand the test of time, and paisley is one of them. This week, I'm on the hunt for our favourite mens paisley shirts. This selection of pieces blend intricate motifs with rich colours, to make for a sartorial and classy statement.

 Brunello Cucinelli

Few brands command as much admiration and respect as Brunello Cucinelli in the mens luxury shirts game. We particularly love this paisley cotton slim fit shirt, which will add a casual touch of luxury to evenings out and cocktail parties. Seasonal colours enrich this lightweight cotton fabric, and the slim fit offers tapered lines through the chest and shoulders.

Eton Shirts

Swedish shirt designers Eton are making their mark, and the introduction of this Navy Paisley Print Jersey Shirt shows that they have more than just business shirts in their repertoire. The red and orange detailing on this superb mens paisley shirt really gives it a pop - for the man who wants to be seen.

We turn now to Ted Baker of London, and their Uldale Long Sleeve Paisley Shirt. For a lighter, brighter option that is sure to liven up your shirts drawer, this is a perfect option for dress down Fridays in the office and a nice alternative for your next holiday to Hawaii.

Charles Tyrwhitt

Okay - it's not strictly paisley, but I couldn't resist throwing something from Charles Tyrwhitt into the mix. The super-fine poplin weave of this shirt has an incredibly bold and delicate pattern, which will delight those ready to embrace floral shirts this summer.

Paul Smith

We don't mind something a little more avant-garde every now and then, and you can always rely on eccentric designer Paul Smith to show up with the goods. A modern take on the classic detailed paisley pattern, it's zesty, edgy and sure to turn a few heads.

Simon Carter

Now for something a little more dark, dusky and dangerous. Each season, Simon Carter introduces a new paisley and this might be their finest yet - blending indigos, deep blues and rich brown notes. Team it with corduroy or tweed for a sophisticated look.

Mens Paisley Luxury Shirts - Closing Thoughts

Paisley shirts add a touch of sophistication and edginess to your casual shirt selection. Subdued hues like navy, olive and burgundy can be versatile and easier to pair - but brighter shirts with bolder motifs are sure to make a statement.

Be sure to keep the rest of your outfit simple and let your paisley shirt take centre stage. A perfect item for casual gatherings like after-work dinners and drinks dates - we hope that any of the above choices will serve you well!
