Wedding shirt: perfect for the big day

Fabrics to favor for the wedding shirt

Generally speaking, the perfect shirt for a wedding is defined as a shirt made from refined and understated fabric.

To have the assurance of such a shirt, we recommend wearing a white poplin shirt. The fineness of its double-twisted weave offers greater comfort, resistance and wrinkles less easily, which can be a good thing for your wedding evening...

Another fabric not to be overlooked: twill. Thanks to a thicker weave, this soft and sturdy fabric will allow the hairiest among us to hide their body hair and be perfectly comfortable throughout their big day!

In the case of a more exotic or summery wedding, we recommend wearing shirts made from airy fabrics such as linen or honeycomb weave: these are natural fibers that offer softness, comfort and flexibility.

Choosing the right cut and collar for your shirt

So that it's perfectly adapted to your body shape and enhances your silhouette, the cut of your wedding shirt must be chosen carefully. For an elegant drape, check that your shirt is long enough to be tucked into your trousers and remain there throughout the evening.

Regarding the collar of your shirt, we recommend opting for a low collar if you have a rather short neck. If on the contrary, you have a rather long neck, we recommend opting for a high collar. Don't forget that the ideal shirt depends on the accessory(ies) you wish to pair it with. For a safe choice, choose a shirt with an Italian collar with hidden throat, with non-visible buttons, which will allow you to enhance the tie or bow tie you have wisely chosen.

Tie enthusiast? We recommend, in addition to the Italian collar, the cutaway collar and the English collar which will particularly highlight your tie.

You prefer bow ties? The French collar or the round collar should be favored with a pre-tied bow tie. However, if you tie your bow tie yourself, 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 bring out your personality through a pair of cufflinks of your choice. The Nines offers a wide variety of cufflinks that can represent your hobbies, your profession, your favorite sport, your love, but also customizable cufflinks where you can have a date or first names engraved for example.

Pairing shirt, suit and accessories

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

Whether you choose a tie or a bow tie, it is essential 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 bring a summery touch to your outfit, favor a tie in a linen and silk blend that will bring a textural element to your outfit.

To bring more colors and texture to your wedding outfit, you can opt for the Liberty tie, famous tie with floral pattern, which will bring freshness, originality and brightness to your outfit. These ties are the ideal ties for a themed wedding like a country wedding or bohemian-chic.

Last element you can play with: the pocket square. This should not 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.
