What is a dress shirt?

Well, a dress shirt is a long-sleeved shirt, suitable for wearing with a tie. Dress shirts are available in different colors and various patterns, fit for formal attire.

Here is a list of shirt elements that influence the spirit of looking nice.

• Fabric: Dress shirts are typically made from finely weaved cotton, with high thread count. These shirts have a bit of shine on them which adds to the dressiness.

• Style & Color: Dress shirts are considered formal wear. They tend to be traditionally styled and are usually white. Nice stiff collar for a necktie is an indicator.

• Sizing: The right-sizing is mandatory for dress shirts. An inch more or less kills the charm. Readymade shirts carry standard measurement tag of neck and sleeves, whereas there's more freedom with sizing on customized shirts.

• Fitting: Most important factor in dress shirts. Depending on an individual's body size, shirt sizing may vary, but fitting has to be perfect. Fitting is divided into 4 categories - Super Slim, Slim, Regular, and Comfortable.

• Length: Dress shirts are supposed to be tucked in, so they have to be stitched a bit longer. This helps keep the shirt firmly tucked in even if the wearer moves awkwardly or raises his arm unexpectedly.

A perfect dress shirt is perfect, only when the above elements are taken care of.
