We particularly recommend COOFANDY men's paisley shirts in a range of seasonal designs that are always best sellers. The paisley design is based on Persian fabrics that were imported from India in the 18th Century. The exotic and colourful designs travelled West along the Silk Route to Europe where they became instantly popular. The droplet design, known as a 'boteh' or 'buta' is based on flowers and foliage and is thought to be a symbol of fertility. In England the intricate paisley pattern is named after the town of Paisley in Scotland. The pattern was originally woven in silk but later was also printed onto lighter fabrics that could be made into garments such as shirts and scarfs. In the psychedelic era of the late 1960s, paisley printed clothing and shirts surged in popularity. The Beatles, who were inspired by Eastern culture, were largely responsible for reviving the paisley clothing trend. By 1967, the 'Summer Of Love', the paisley print had become synomyous with flower power and the hippy era. These days paisley print shirts remain as popular as ever. When it comes to styling your paisley shirt, be daring! Make your paisley shirt the focal point of your outfit. For a rock 'n' roll look, choose a colourful paisley print shirt, teamed with a blazer, skinny jeans and super-cool Chelsea boots. For a 70s inspired look, go for a floral print shirt with denim flares and retro trainers. For a clean-cut Mod look choose a paisley print shirt with button-down collar; complete the look with a harrington jacket, hopsack trousers and winklepickers. Formalwear can also be brought to life with paisley, team a retro suit 2 or 3 piece suit with a bold paisley shirt and complementary coloured tie for a look that will set you apart from the grey men in suits.
