Monograms In more recent times initials on shirts were used by big families to distinguish between the clothing of each person. From those humble beginnings of necessity, the personal initial is today a sign of refinement. It is a pride to carry your own logo – it can be your very own spirit animal embroidered on the cuff and your initials.
THE LETTERING
Usually the initial of the first name is embroidered before that of the surname both followed by a dot, though nothing prevents the initials being embroidered without a dot.
THE POSITION
Generally the monogram on men’s shirt are embroidered on the left side of the shirt in relation to the 4th button (not considering that of the collar),on the points of the collar or on the out-side of the cuff. To be embroidered either in block letters or Italics.
The positioning is very important because it should be eye able to flaunt itself.
1) Back yoke (Below the collar)
2) On cuff ( Left or Right cuff)
3) At the right side of the shirt pocket
4) Tip of collar
5) Left or Right Gauntlet
6) Placket end
Monogram on the cuff can be as artsy like your initial with a crown symbolizing class.
Monogram on blazers are best on the inside because blazers are best looking when they are mastered with minimalism and class. Instead of the monogram, you can always go ahead with your full name embroidered inside the blazer.
THE COLOR
As regards the tone of the monogram, it is better to choose a color in harmony with that of the shirt. Naturally the choice is entirely personal. For example initials on a white shirt could be in white, blue or pearl grey. For a powder blue shirt a good match could be dark blue initials, while a rose-colored shirt could have dark blue, red initials.
