To help you, we have put together a little guide, a helping hand to help you effectively choose the central element of your outfit: your shirt!

Just like your sweetheart's dress, you'll need to sport a shirt that's up to the occasion ! It might be time to treat yourself and pull out all the stops with a premium shirt with impeccable finishes!

No concessions here, you have to be as elegant as possible so we are going to look at the most refined materials: poplin, pinpoint and twill.


Poplin

The ultimate formal fabric that is suitable for all occasions with its smooth appearance giving it a very elegant look. Your perfect ally if you have planned an outdoor wedding because it is very light !


The pinpoint

It's the perfect compromise between the lightness of poplin and the robustness of oxford. With our Easy Iron technology, the shirt will crease very little. Enough to stay on top all day long!

The twill

An interesting alternative to poplin, which has the particularity of being woven with oblique lines, it is also thicker and easy to iron. Perfect if you are afraid of being a little cold!

What collar?

As for the collar, the most classic will opt for a French collar or a semi-cutaway collar and we would be wrong to blame them! But if you have opted for a tuxedo you can opt for a solution that is both very elegant and unique: the broken collar . You will definitely be identified as a man of taste!

French collar

A must-have, the French Hast collar has been designed in smaller dimensions than traditional in order to make it more modern. It is narrower than the semi-cutaway collar.

Broken Collar

Reserved for special occasions, the broken collar is synonymous with elegance and distinction. It is worn only with a bow tie and will go perfectly with your most beautiful tuxedo!

What colors & accessories?

No contraindications regarding colors, you can wear whatever you like (a white shirt , a blue shirt, stripes etc). Just keep in mind that to avoid bad taste it is necessary to associate motifs of different nature and scale ! (Think about this when choosing your suit and tie ).

To give a concrete example, if you choose a striped shirt, you can opt for a plain tie (tip: match the color of the stripes on the shirt with that of the tie), or a tie with a Prince of Wales or polka dot pattern. Plain shirts are very easy to match, they go with everything!
