Krispy Kreme vs Dunkin’—What Your Donut Says About Your Shirt Style

Gentlemen, it’s National Donut Day—a holiday most Americans didn’t realize they needed, but one they now dutifully celebrate with the reverence of Thanksgiving and the sugar intake of Halloween. The one day a year we collectively agree that sugar-coated rings of joy are absolutely essential to happiness. Whether you're Team Krispy Kreme or Team Dunkin', there's something deeper your donut preference might be telling us about your shirt style. Stay with us.

At Airthreads, we believe style is all about self-expression. And just like donuts, shirts come in various flavors—crisp, soft, classic, bold. So what does your donut say about your tailor-made shirt personality? Let’s break it down.

🍩 The Krispy Kreme Man: Minimalist. Meticulous. Slightly Addictive.

You enjoy the finer things in life—but only when they’re executed with restraint. A Krispy Kreme original glazed isn’t loud. It doesn’t shout. It whispers sweet nothings in perfect symmetry and lightness.

You, my friend, are a man who values sharp lines and clean finishes. You know the difference between cream and off-white. Your wardrobe? A curated palette of whites, neutrals, navy, charcoal, and perhaps a rogue forest green when you’re feeling wild.

Your Shirt Style: A subtle sheen, breathable texture, and impeccable structure. Your shirt doesn’t beg for attention—but it gets it anyway. Tailored to fit your frame like a second skin, never too tight, never too loose.

Vibe Check: Steve McQueen meets Daniel Craig.

A crisp shirt that says, “Yes, I do know the name of my dry cleaner.”

Style Tip: Pair with selvedge denim or trousers that actually see an iron. Accessorize minimally—maybe a vintage watch or a clean cufflink. Nothing kitschy.

🍩 The Dunkin’ Guy: Bold. Hustling. Caffeinated with Opinions.

You’re the man who rolls up your sleeves—literally and figuratively. You take your coffee strong, your donuts with sprinkles, and your shirts with some personality.

You’re not afraid of a check, a stripe, or an oxford weave that actually feels like fabric. You move through the world with charm and confidence—and your wardrobe follows suit.

Your Shirt Style:

You live in Oxford shirts, casual checks, and fabrics with substance. Color doesn’t scare you. Neither does pattern. Your shirts are still tailored (because you’re not a savage), but they’ve got texture, weight, and a little soul.

Vibe Check: Early 2000s Clooney or modern-day Ryan Reynolds off-duty.

A guy who might be running a creative agency or just really knows his way around an espresso machine.

Style Tip: Roll your sleeves like you mean it. Mix tailored structure with worn-in denim, and you're golden.

🍩 Somewhere In-Between? Welcome to the Tailored Middle Ground.

Some days you’re all about subtle elegance. Other days, you’re pouring sprinkles on life like it’s a sundae. You’re versatile—which means your shirt game needs to be too.

You, sir, are exactly who brands like Airthreads are tailoring for. Because you want variety, but you want it to fit like it was made for you (because it should be).

One-size-fits-all is for chain-store donuts, not your closet.

🍩 Donuts May Be Mass-Made. Your Style Shouldn’t Be.

Let’s be real—nothing ruins a crisp look faster than a poor fit. You’ve spent time picking your donut. You can do the same with your shirt.

National Donut Day isn’t just a sugar high. It’s a reminder that personal taste deserves respect—whether it’s in dessert or in tailoring.
