The Growing Popularity of Charlie’s Swanky Shirts
Ever since the arrival of Two and a Half Men, there has been an explosion throughout the Internet about the fashion picks of Charlie Harper, the protagonist of the show played by Charlie Sheen. The casual, laid-back dress sense of Harper as seen on the sitcom has caught fire, and is hitting it big with companies all clamoring for a piece of the action.
The show features Sheen dressed in a lot of simple, two-toned shirts that hark back to the ’50s and ’60s bowling-alley pop culture era. What began as an innocuous choice of shirts for a few episodes has since been something of a signature feature of the show. Sheen has continued to appear on the show with the same kind of relaxed yet dressy shirt selections. This has fueled speculation that it has been a part of why the show has continued to improve on TV ratings – it regularly broke into the top 10 on TV ratings for the 9 PM Monday timeslot, particularly for the sixth season that ended May 2009.
Today, the demand for those shirts has hit new highs. Firms from in and around the country have come out to parlay the show’s new popularity into a new effort to reach out to eager shoppers. These shirts are fit for almost any body type, be it skinny, lean, muscular or even beer-bellied. They also carry themselves well and with a very strong and confident manner, without being overtly loud, overbearing or obnoxious.
Of course, there are few that can compare to Charlie’s original line, The DaVinci Collection by Charlie Sheen. Designed with Sheen and his character’s personal style at its core, these shirts feature exactly that easy-going warmth that emanates from Charlie, both on and off the camera and the TV studio set. These swanky shirts can most likely make any guy look undeniably appealing in an instant.
