If you are not part of the British royal family and are getting married soon, rest assured! With all the flashes from your guests’ cameras and smartphones, you will inevitably look like a real prince among the paparazzi — provided you have the poise ;)
To help you, we have put together a short guide: a helping hand to choose the central piece of your outfit effectively — your shirt!

Which fabric?
Your guest list is ready and the day’s schedule is set, but what will you wear on the big day?
Like your beloved’s dress, you will need to wear a shirt worthy of the occasion! This may be the time to treat yourself and pull out all the stops with a premium shirt with impeccable finishing!
No compromises here: you owe it to yourself to be as elegant as possible, so let us look at the most refined fabrics: poplin, pinpoint and twill.
Which collar?
When it comes to collars, the more classic among you will opt for a point collar or a semi-cutaway collar and who could blame them! But if you have chosen a dinner jacket, you can turn to a solution that is both very elegant and distinctive: the wing collar. You will undoubtedly be recognised as a man of taste!
Point collar

An essential, the Hast point collar was designed with smaller proportions than is traditional to give it a more modern feel. It is narrower than the semi-cutaway collar.
Semi-Cutaway Collar

A signature Hast collar, the semi-cutaway collar (or semi-Italian collar) flatters most body shapes. Its opening was designed to be as versatile as it is elegant.
Wing Collar

Reserved for special occasions, the wing collar is synonymous with elegance and distinction. It is worn only with a bow tie and will complement your finest dinner jacket beautifully!
Which colours & accessories?
There are no restrictions when it comes to colours: you can wear whatever you like (a white shirt, a blue shirt, stripes, etc.). Just bear in mind that, to avoid clashing you should combine patterns of different types and scales ! (Keep this in mind when choosing your suit and your tie).
To give a concrete example, if you choose a striped shirt, you can opt for a plain tie (tip: match the colour of the shirt’s stripes with that of the tie), or a Prince of Wales check or polka-dot tie. Plain shirts are very easy to pair; they go with everything!
A few examples of easy-to-wear accessories
Red cotton and silk grenadine tie

A burgundy tie that will pair effortlessly with almost all your shirts — there is little chance of getting it wrong!
Blue silk grenadine bow tie

Perfect for a smart look! It pairs beautifully with a wing-collar shirt, but also works very well with a point collar or semi-cutaway collar!
Green knitwear tie

A little less conventional, the knitwear tie is no more difficult to wear! Its green shade is just as versatile as burgundy, and works especially well with a light blue shirt!
Details that hit the mark
You must be uncompromising about ironing your shirt! Pay particular attention to the collar, shoulders and cuffs, which must be impeccable!
A fine leather belt is essential. Simply choose it in the same colour as your shoes and you are sure to shine!
To complete the look, you can insert your collar stays to structure the collar of the shirt and ensure it holds perfectly. Cufflinks should also be considered to add a touch of elegance if you have chosen a shirt with double cuffs!
Collar stays

In plastic or mother-of-pearl for purists of elegance, they ensure the collar holds perfectly.
Cufflinks

In mother-of-pearl mounted on brass, an elegant detail that adds personality to your shirt.
Belts

With eco-friendly vegetable tanning, the belt has a unique and lasting character!
