The piece

How to choose and wear a dress shirt

A smooth, crisp shirt designed to be worn tucked in, often with a tie and a suit. It is the formal end of shirting.

How to choose

  • Poplin or twill cotton with a smooth finish; non-iron finishes save time.
  • A collar that fits with one finger of room when buttoned.
  • White and light blue first; they go with every suit colour.

How dress shirt should fit

Buy by neck and sleeve length: cuffs should show about 1 cm below the jacket sleeve.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Short sleeves under a suit jacket.
  • ✕A collar that's too tight, pulling open at the neck.
  • ✕Dark shirts with dark suits and dark ties, losing all contrast.

Care: Wash warm, iron damp; collar stays keep the points sharp.

In a capsule: Needed only if the capsule covers suits and formal events.
