The collar-down shirt: this is one of the most dressed shirt models. But the shirt is broken neck obligatorily under a tuxedo and with a bow tie. It will therefore be reserved for the most exclusive ceremonies. Finally, note that there are different variants of shirts with broken neck. Some have breastplates, others small metal buttons. In almost all cases, the shirt will be white collar and will wear under a black tuxedo.
The musketeer shirt: very elegant, traditional, timeless, the musketeer shirt is distinguished by its cuffed cuffs that we will close not using buttons, but with a pair of cufflinks. The musketeer shirt will be worn with a tie or a launderette and under a suit. We will then take care to let exceed a good centimeter sleeve sleeve cuffs of the suit.
The dress shirt or ceremony shirt: it is a strict shirt, perfectly cut, surmounted by a collar of small collar type or Italian collar on which one will tie a tie or a bow tie. It is a classic model that assures you a simple and elegant outfit.

Some simple tips:
Now that you know all the styles of wedding-friendly shirts, here are some simple tips that will help you to not make a mistake. Choose a sober, plain and fashioned shirt in a quality fabric. Your shirt should be ironed. Choose a shirt lighter than your suit and tie. Your tie should be silk and its width defined by the type of shirt collar you have adopted.
You will be able to choose a reasonably wide necktie if you wear an Italian collar shirt and a narrow tie if you wear a shirt topped with a small collar. Same thing about the tie knot. Its size must be adapted to the collar of your shirt. If you are slim and slender, you can opt for wearing a fitted outfit and a fitted wedding shirt. If you are a little overweight, opt for a straight cut suit and a straight cut wedding shirt. Always wear a thin leather shirt with your suit. Your belt should be a color similar to your shoes. These must be leather city shoes and perfectly polished. The choice of a nice pair of fine mesh socks of the Scottish type is highly recommended.
