Even today, it can be found on some shirts with a chic retro look . It instantly evokes an elegance from another time, a bit like an antique watch or a pair of well-polished loafers. It says without speaking: “I pay attention to details.”
A dress code… and a secret message!
But that’s not all. In some American universities, this loop had a meaning that was, to say the least, romantic! When a student wanted to signal that he was in a relationship, he would deliberately remove the famous loop from his shirt. A small gesture for a big message: « heart already taken. »
Which proves that fashion doesn’t just dress, it can also say a lot – provided you know how to observe it.
Functional and stylish: the perfect combo
Even though modern wardrobes have replaced metal racks, the loop has remained relevant. Drying a delicate shirt after washing without losing its shape? It’s ideal. No hangers pulling at your shoulders, no unsightly creases… Just a shirt hung with care.
