Dress Shirts
Men's dress shirts
Men's dress shirts are built for one job above all others: sitting cleanly under a suit jacket without a single crease showing by the end of the day.
Fabric and finish
Cut in a smooth poplin weave, the fabric is finished with a non-iron treatment that reduces creasing significantly after washing, while a cutaway collar gives room for a fuller tie knot and sits cleanly under a jacket lapel. Single or double cuffs are available depending on the level of formality required.
Fit considerations for men's dress shirts
A slim fit sits close through the body for a leaner silhouette under a fitted jacket, while a regular fit offers more room for comfort through a long formal day. The collar should sit close to the neck without gapping, since a loose collar is the most visible sign of an ill-fitting dress shirt.
A white dress shirt with a navy suit and silk tie for formal business meetings.
A pale blue dress shirt under a tuxedo, double cuff and cufflinks, for black tie.
What's the difference between a dress shirt and a regular shirt?
A dress shirt is cut with a crisper fabric and a more formal collar shape, designed specifically to be worn under a suit jacket with a tie, unlike a casual or Oxford shirt.
Should a dress shirt fit slim or regular?
A slim fit works well under a fitted jacket for a cleaner line, while a regular fit offers more comfort through a long formal day without changing the level of formality.
How should the collar of a dress shirt fit?
The collar should sit close to the neck without gapping or feeling restrictive, generally with enough room for two fingers between collar and neck when buttoned.
