Men's Dress Shirts

A properly fitting men's dress shirt should feel tailored, not tight. The shoulder seams should sit right at the edge of your shoulders, and you should be able to move your arms with comfort and zero pulling. The collar should close easily without squeezing, and the sleeves should hit just at the wrist bone.

With both Slim Fit and Modern Fit options as well as XS through 5X sizing in short, standard, and tall, there’s a perfect fitting dress shirt for everyone.

Men's formal shirts are typically made with stiffer collars, structured cuffs, and a sleeker, smoother fabric. They pair well with suits, tuxedos, and a professional formal event. These tend to be button-up shirts. Casual dress shirts come in more relaxed shapes, softer fabrics, and sometimes subtle patterns, making them easier to wear untucked or with jeans. These can often be button-down shirts.

Men's shirts for business or black-tie events alike are typically best in the classics: white, light blue, or black, with a smooth finish.

You can never, seriously never, go wrong with a clean, well-fitted white dress shirt, no matter the wedding or suit color. For a suit, go with a standard white button-up. For a tuxedo, choose a French cuff shirt or a tuxedo shirt.

Depending on the dress code, suit style, season, and your personal style, it can be fun to switch up the look of your dress shirt for a wedding.

A white dress shirt is the classic pairing for a black suit, offering high contrast and timeless elegance for any formal event. Light blue or pale gray also work for daytime events or business meetings. For a black tuxedo, a white tuxedo shirt completes the polished look.

For a more unique look, a black dress shirt with a black shirt is a bold, modern take on men’s formal style.

A navy suit pairs well with a wide range of dress shirt colors. White delivers a sharp, formal contrast for weddings and business meetings. Light blue creates a softer, monochromatic feel, while pale pink or lavender adds personal style for special events.

To keep your dress shirt looking sharp, we recommend dry clean only. Dry cleaning helps maintain the structured collar and smooth finish for shirts worn under a suit jacket at weddings or formal dinners. Before wearing, steam your shirt to let out any wrinkles and ensure it looks nice and crisp. 

Yes. A well-fitted dress shirt works on its own with dress pants for business meetings, date nights, or casual outings. Roll the sleeves, leave it untucked, or pair with a vest for personal style. The versatility of a quality button-down makes it one of the hardest-working pieces in any wardrobe.

Slim Fit dress shirts have a more tapered shape through the chest and waist for a sharp, contemporary silhouette. Classic shirts—or rather, Modern Fit shirts—have a fuller cut with more room throughout the body, giving you a relaxed feel with all-day comfort. Both styles deliver the polished look you want for a formal event or office setting; the more tailored, flattering look for you depends on your body type, not your style preference, as these shirts are designed to deliver the exact same style as one another.

A solid wardrobe of men's shirts includes at least three to five dress shirts in classic colors like white, light blue, and black, plus one or two with subtle patterns for variety. White shirts are the foundation for any suit or tuxedo, while colored options give you flexibility for business meetings, weddings, and formal dinners. 

It’s a good idea to refresh your white dress shirts every once in a while to stay looking fresh.

French cuff shirts work best with tuxedos and traditional suits for a formal event like a black-tie wedding or gala. They require cufflinks, which adds a layer of elegance to the look. For business meetings and less formal occasions, a standard barrel cuff is the easier, more versatile option.
