SHOP CUSTOM TUXEDO SHIRTS:

Whether you're doing a black tie wedding, black tie optional, or creative black tie, there is an extremely high probability that you will be wearing a tuxedo. Next to the tux itself, one of the most important considerations is the tuxedo shirt -- and not all tuxedo shirts are created equal. There are five different styles of tuxedo shirts and in this video I'll be explaining them all so you can decide which one would be best for your wedding.

Hey, thanks for posting! There is not much information about Black Tie attire so I am happy that you covered this!

[Harry-tbyo]

I would like to add that a wing collar shirt only goes with a seamless / sized bow tie. If you wear an adjustable bow tie with a wing collar the clasp will be visible. Although I have a tailored bow tie and could go with a wing collar I still prefer turn down collars. There is also a shirt style with textured fabric and a fly front which is what I prefer. I've got two of them. One is tailored and the other one is Turnbull & Assers Casino Royale shirt.

I’ve got a pleated evening shirt which I’m going to wear with my blue-velvet dinner jacket to my grandfather’s oxford ball, and switch out an evening scarf for a scarf in the clan tartan. Looks casually elegant, like you’re not trying too hard, which is exactly what I like.

[danbee]

As tradition goes I really think the first shirt is the best. Black tie should be pretty formal.

Can I wear a plissé front, a bow tie, a black pant and a black shoe? Is it appropriate? Please help! Thanking you in anticipation.

These tuxedo vids come just in time for summer weddings

[Keenan-vm]

@1:23 do you recommend leaving jacket unbuttoned? If so, even for a groom during a wedding ceremony? Thanks.

[mkane]

Great content man. This helped me pick my shirt for the black tie event I was going to.

[dandiaz]

This was wonderfully useful! Very concise, good and relevant high quality b-roll. Thanks!

[Joe-xlub]

Must the tuxedo shirt always be white? I see that Brooks Brothers offers light pinks and blues--would they be acceptable with a midnight navy or black tux?

[claudioklr]

Great video! Since I never ever weared a tuxedo, didn't have a clue of all these shirts.
When the party gets heated, and you take off your jacket. Maybe the only one suitable is the last one.

[danielduggan]

Thanks for this video Brian. Always a pleasure to have a new HSS video. What weave would you recommend for a more formal self-textured shirt? Royal Oxford?

[leonsmith]

0:19 I cannot take advice from you seriously when almost all your suits seem to have the dreaded shoulder divot. It's glaring, I'm not sure how you/an experienced tailor have not corrected this. The drape does not look seamless and the divots are really difficult to ignore.

[johnparnell]

Great content, Brian. You missed out the marcella front shirt which does not have the pleating effect of the plissé front. Second point, in spite of the provision to take studs, my separate shirt studs don't fit very well with the existing shirt buttons still in place on my Turnbull & Asser dress shirt. Is it normal to remove the existing buttons in order to fit shirt studs?

[TheJTMcDaniel]

I generally recommend against the wing collar option. First, it makes you look like a waiter. Second, it's damned near impossible to find a fitted black bow tie these days, and you should never wear an adjustable tie with a wing collar. The only sources I've found in the last few years are in the UK.

[NicolasMiari]

I prefer the studs more spaced. My shirt only takes three, so the fourth stud of the set is a "spare".

[yahyamsaddi]

Hello,

I bought a white tux for my wedding, could you please suggest the type of shirt that should I buy ? My tux jacket is white with wide peak lapel.

Thanks

[ibeast]

what type of shirt would you recommend wearing white a white tuxedo jacket black peak lapels. i also plan on wearing a waist covering im stuck between the bib or pleated shirt ?

[roberttudisco]

Is it acceptable to wear a pique bib front shirt with a turn down collar? I prefer that to a pleated front. Or, is that type of shirt usually for a wing collar?

[jamesroth]

What about the waffle weave bib front shirt? What is this one best worn with?
