The dress shirt is where sophistication all started and the groundwork for the formal dressing was laid. For many of us this type of shirt has become just another boring shirt that has to be put on everyday before we go to work in order to look formal and reflect a professional image for our companies, the event or ourselves. It is a creation of America with its origins running deep in the country while today like the American dollar, the dress shirt is the gold standard of formality around the world regardless of the language, culture or society.
A dress shirt is generally with full sleeves up to the wrists with cuffs or buttons, has a collar and is meant to be worn with a tie but looks just as good and formal without a tie. There are many types of shirts like for instance, there are button down dress shirts, which have buttons on the collar itself so you could button the collar down with the tie beneath the collar. You have the shirts with the mock collar that does not fold down. You also have the shirts that have only three buttons in the front instead of totally buttoned down.
There are various sizes in a dress shirt that are almost for all body shapes so regardless what your own size is or how out of shape you are, a good shirt will hide or show what you want it too provided it fits you correctly and has a good stitching. A designer dress shirt is a place where a major war is always ensuing because the shirt itself is a hallmark and every designer is trying to create and make his or her own hallmark. There is always a tug of war going around an if you go to any fashion show you, you would most probably come across a shirt at one segment of the fashion show unless it would be strictly casual.
A dress shirt is now both for men and women but there was a time that this shirt was only meant for men and was designed for use only by men. A typical shirt has a row of buttons going down all the way to the bottom from the neck while some have pockets and some are without but regardless of this fact, a good shirt is the icon of formality.
You can select a dress shirt from a designer or have it tailor made but the trick of the shirt is to get one which suits your body type with the shoulders in proportion and it must have good stitching. There are many places to go to get the dress shirt of your choice. You need to be aware of all the different locations and shops that can work with you to get the exact fit and style you need. Do not be afraid to try online as well there is a good chance you will get better prices and maybe even a bit more selection since you will have so many options to choose from.
