Men’s Dress Shirts

Men’s formal dress shirts are wardrobe essentials, and it’s equally essential that they fit comfortably and look the part. That’s why we’ve been perfecting them for decades, refining collar shapes, adjusting cuffs and testing fabrics until they perform exactly as they should. The result? Men’s formal shirts that hold their shape, feel comfortable to wear with men’s suits and look smart from morning to night.

Our pure cotton men’s shirts are smooth and lightweight, making them the ideal choice to wear under men’s suit jackets or tuxedos. Choose a cotton Oxford if you like a hint of texture, and look out for leading brands like Ted Baker as well as our own premium collections. Each option is available across different fits, so whether you prefer the ease of a regular fit or the clean lines of a slim fit, there’s a shape that works for you.

We also take the hard work out of care. Our men’s easy-iron formal shirts smooth out quickly with minimal effort, while men’s non-iron formal shirts go straight from the wash to your hanger. For occasions where only the best will do, choose our luxury men’s formal shirts, made from premium cotton with a silky finish.

Finishing touches matter. Button-through cuffs keep things straightforward, but when the dress code is strict, double cuffs pair neatly with our men’s cufflinks. Collars are shaped to sit smoothly beneath men’s ties, and slightly reinforced so they stay crisp all day and all night too. Add men’s smart trousers, one of our men’s belts and polished men’s smart shoes for a complete look that’s ready for any formal setting.

Men's Dress Shirts FAQs

What is a dress shirt?

A men’s formal dress shirt is designed with smart occasions in mind. It will always have a collar and button-through fastenings, and will usually be cut from a premium cotton or linen fabric. You may also find elevated touches such as gauntlet buttons at the wrists, and double cuffs made to be worn with cufflinks are traditional.

Are dress shirts supposed to be worn tucked in?

Generally speaking you would wear a men’s formal dress shirt tucked in, but you don’t have to. For office settings and smart gatherings, you should usually tuck it in. If you’re heading out for a relaxed evening, you can team it with jeans or chinos and leave it untucked. Make sure your chosen piece has a curved hem if you’re planning to wear it tucked in.

How do I roll dress shirt sleeves?

To roll the sleeves of a men’s formal dress shirt, start by unbuttoning the cuffs (including any gauntlet buttons). Fold them up towards the elbow, then add at least one more turn to cover the cuff. You can keep folding until you reach the desired length, going as low as mid-forearm or as high as your bicep.
