the shirt
The Wedding shirts
Along with the suit, the shirt is the most important piece of the wedding attire. You could, of course, choose a different coloured shirt, but the white shirt undoubtedly gives you the greatest stylistic freedom. Depending on the shape of your face and the accessories, ties, ascots or bow ties, certain shirt collars are to be preferred. Check our guide to find your ideal shirt collar.
Take the time to choose your wedding shirt, because in addition to your silhouette, it enhances the theme of the wedding. A modern linen shirt with a short collar is appropriate for a beach wedding, the elegant wing collar shirt with French cuffs is appropriate for the traditional church wedding and the round or tab collar shirt is ideal for a retro themed wedding. One shirt that works for everything and can still be worn after the wedding ceremony is the classic shark collar shirt.
