Men’s formal shirts are most often worn with suits although they can be worn with a blazer or similarly formal accompaniment. Styles and colours vary greatly and you will need to choose the fit that you require while also ensuring that you choose the most appropriate size in order to avoid discomfort. If you are unaccustomed to wearing formal shirts this discomfort can be even more pronounced so it is especially important that you get the measurements right.
The most important measurement is that of your neck. A formal shirt will usually be worn with a tie and if you choose a shirt that has a neck that is too tight you will find it especially difficult and extremely uncomfortable to wear your tie done up properly. If you feel uncomfortable then you are likely to look it too.
Slim fit shirts have become popular and these give the appearance of being tailored to your exact size. They fit perfectly under a suit and they can be worn for any formal event or occasion, no matter whether you are a guest of honour or an attendee. Don’t forget to buy your cufflinks, too, although you will find shirt sets that also include these essential accessories.
