Find the Right Shirt for the Occasion 

For the office and professional settings, business shirts in white, blue, stripes and subtle patterns pair easily with suits, ties and tailored trousers.

For weddings, black tie and formal events, choose a formal shirt designed to sit cleanly beneath tailoring. Tuxedo shirts provide the most traditional option for black-tie dressing.

For weekends and smart-casual occasions, casual shirts offer a more relaxed alternative and can be worn with chinos, shorts or layered beneath knitwear and jackets.

Choose the Right Shirt Fabric 

Cotton shirts are a versatile option for business and everyday wear, while linen shirts offer greater breathability for warm weather and relaxed occasions.

For easy-care workwear and travel, explore our Dry’n’Fly non-iron shirts, designed to reduce creasing and maintain a polished appearance throughout the day. 

Find Your Shirt Fit

The right shirt should sit comfortably across the shoulders and chest without pulling, while allowing enough room for movement.

A slim fit shirt follows the body more closely for a streamlined silhouette, while a regular fit provides more room through the chest and waist. Choose your fit based on your build, preferred silhouette and whether the shirt will be worn tucked in or more casually.
