Wedding shirt: perfect for the big day

Preferred fabrics for wedding shirts

Generally, the perfect wedding shirt is defined as a shirt with refined and subtle fabric.

To ensure you have this type of shirt, we recommend wearing a white poplin shirt. The fineness of its two-ply weave offers more comfort, durability, and wrinkles less easily, which can be a good thing for your wedding evening...

Another fabric not to be overlooked: twill. Thanks to its thicker weave, this soft and sturdy fabric will allow those of us who are hairier to hide their chest hair and be perfectly comfortable throughout the most important day of their life!

For a more exotic or summer wedding, we recommend wearing shirts with breathable fabrics such as linen or honeycomb: these are natural fibers that offer softness, comfort, and flexibility.

Choosing the right fit and shirt collar

To ensure it perfectly fits your body type and enhances your silhouette, the cut of your wedding shirt must be chosen carefully. For an elegant drape, make sure your shirt is long enough to be tucked into your pants and stay there throughout the evening.

Regarding your shirt collar, we recommend choosing a low collar if you have a rather short neck. If, on the contrary, you have a longer neck, we recommend opting for a high collar. Remember that the ideal shirt depends on the accessory(ies) you wish to pair it with. For a safe choice, select an Italian collar shirt with a hidden placket and concealed buttons, which will help enhance the tie or bow tie you've wisely chosen.

Tie enthusiast? In addition to the Italian collar, we recommend the cutaway collar and English collar which will particularly enhance your tie.

Are you more of a bow tie person? The French collar or round collar are best suited with a pre-tied bow tie. However, if you tie your own bow tie, we recommend choosing a wing collar shirt that will complement your finest tuxedos and suits.

The essential French cuff shirt

The French cuff shirt is the height of elegance: it allows you to express your personality through a pair of cufflinks of your choice. The Nines offers a wide variety of cufflinks that can represent your hobbies, profession, favorite sport, love, and even customizable cufflinks where you can engrave a date or names for example.

Matching shirt, suit, and accessories

For a ceremony such as a wedding, we recommend a white shirt, a symbol of purity and romance, and for its ability to be easily paired.

Whether you choose a tie or a bow tie, it's crucial not to make a mistake in pairing it with your suit. In a very simple and effective style, you can, for example, pair your white shirt with a navy blue suit and a burgundy silk tie. If you decide to add a summer touch to your outfit, opt for a tie in a linen and silk blend that will add texture to your attire.

To add more color and texture to your wedding attire, you can opt for a Liberty tie, a famous floral pattern tie, which will bring freshness, originality, and brightness to your outfit. These ties are ideal for themed weddings such as rustic or bohemian-chic weddings.

The final element you can play with: the pocket square. It shouldn't be the same color as your tie and should be a complementary color to your outfit (an orange pocket square with a predominantly blue outfit, for example) or belong to an analogous color of your outfit.
