Best shirt to wear with a tuxedo?

So what style shirt works best with today’s modern man to complete a tuxedo look?

Here are 5 of the best options to consider when deciding on what style tuxedo shirt you should wear.

1 – THE CLASSIC LOOK – Wing tip collar with pleats or bib.

If classic is what you’re after, this is the shirt for you.

This is the most classic and formal tuxedo shirt traditionally worn with a tuxedo. Whether it has full pleats going all the way down or a half bib, they are both considered the most classic style shirt you can wear with a tuxedo and they have both been around for centuries.

This style shirt though, will never be worn outside the tuxedo setting and one of the main reasons modern men of today opt for different styles that are a little more versatile.


***Wing tip collar shirts are only to be worn with bow ties and should always be accompanied by a French cuff. If you want to take this classic look to the next level, the addition of Dress Studs will give you the ultimate look.


2 – MODERN ELEGANCE – Dress Stud Tuxedo Shirt with wing tip collar (NO pleats)

Clean look with a little stud bling!

Although this shirt will still only ever be worn with a tuxedo, it’s the modern elegance of a clean front that really allows the dress studs to shine and become the main feature of the shirt. Very few other people, if any at all will be wearing dress studs, so it’s definitely a great point of difference to anyone else in the room. Dress studs mainly come in sets of five and depending on your height, you would only usually use four of them.

***Dress studs are purchased separate to your shirt as are cufflinks. The ultimate stud designed shirt for dress studs, should have a small round hole through the placket, just big enough for the SCREW BACK STUD. This way the hole opening is completely hidden by the face of the stud.

These shirts are only custom made.

***Off the rack stud shirts are made with normal buttonhole openings, which is not ideal as you see the buttonhole stitching around the stud.

3 – ON THE FENCE – Normal collar with Fly front (hidden buttons)

This by far is the most versatile shirt you can own as it gives you the best of both worlds.

Just by having a shirt with a fly front (a hidden button placket) it automatically makes it OK to wear with a bow tie regardless of the collar style. When wearing a bow tie though, you want to make sure the width of the bow tie covers and hides the collar points, giving you the cleanest look. There’s nothing worse than wearing a standard shirt and the collar is bigger than the bow tie!

Wear this shirt afterwards with any outfit, as long as the top button is undone.

4 – CLASSIC COLLAR – Tuxedo shirt with pleats or bib and a classic collar.

Some people just don’t like wing tip collars – if this is you, then this is the shirt.

Whether you have a short neck with three chins or a very thick neck and don’t like the idea of a traditional wing tip collar, you can definitely still have a traditional pleated or bibed tuxedo shirt with a traditional shirt collar instead that is just a little shorter in length. This allows the bow tie to cover the collar spread and still gives you that classic look.

5 – A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE – The Ruffle Pleated Tuxedo shirt

Who said Austin Powers?

This old school ruffle pleated tuxedo shirt can be transformed into something spectacular. You’re bound to be the only person in the room with a custom made ruffled tuxedo shirt and you will be the envy of all.

With a modern twist on the ruffled look, there are no limits when it comes to getting something Bespoke. There is also no right or wrong with the collar style you prefer on this particular shirt but keeping with tradition a high cut wing tip collar makes this shirt outstanding and definitely will make our forefathers proud.

Custom-made vs off the rack Part -2

  Custom Tailors in  Bangkok With a little patience, one can easily walk into a  custom tailor shop  and get fitted for a suit and with proper care, can last him for a long time and best of all it is made to fit like a glove! The customer might even end up paying much less for custom clothes than a branded suit which might cost him let’s say, an arm and leg! On the other hand, to be fair to ready-mades, if properly chosen offer their own value for the money except in these cases, one has to turn to recognized brand names which means they are very extremely expensive. Though, I am not saying that it will fit the client perfectly like custom Dillard clothes but it does the job. There are people who can walk into a store and come out with a perfect  ready-made suit , which fits them very nicely, but these people are exceptions to the rule and not many around. One must consider that if a person does not have the time when is in a rush then ready-made option is good ...

A Guide To Pinstripe Suits

Image
Best Suits in Bangkok Since the early 19th century, suits have featured pinstripes. London banks utilized them to verify the identity of their staff members. They first appeared decades ago, and in the 1940s, they became very popular. Still, the entire ensemble has a polished appearance that gives the impression that the wearer is a banker, a celebrity, or someone more refined. Nevertheless, if one knows how to wear it correctly, anyone can rock a pinstripe suit because it's straightforward, timeless, and comfortable. Why Is a Pinstripe Suit So Pricey? The fabric that goes into making a suit is by far the most expensive component. An approximate 3.5 yards of fabric are needed to create a size 40 two-piece suit. Manufacturers take all reasonable steps to reduce the amount of fabric used when cutting the outfit. This entails meticulously drawing the pattern's parts on the fabric as accurately as you can. This is all well and well for a suit without any patt...

How can I describe it without mentioning the very meticulousness and the intricate details which goes into it - not unlike sculpturing an image or making pottery with hands!
