In terms of fabrics, dress shirts are mainly made of high count worsted cotton and pure wool products. You can also choose a blended shirt with cotton and wool as the main components as appropriate. But don't choose shirts made of flannel, washed cloth and chemical fiber cloth, because they are either too thick and easy to wrinkle or pilling, and shirts made of silk and pure linen are not suitable.

In terms of color, the dress shirt must be a single color. In formal business entertainment, white shirts are the only choice for business men. In addition, blue, gray, brown and black can sometimes be considered. However, variegated shirts, or shirts with red, pink, purple, green, yellow, orange and so on. , is not desirable.

In terms of patterns, formal shirts are generally better without any patterns. Printed shirts, plaid shirts and shirts with people, animals, plants, words and buildings are not formal shirts. The only exception is that you can wear a thin vertical shirt in general business activities. However, it must be forbidden to wear vertical striped suits at the same time.

From the collar, the collar types of formal shirts are mostly square collar, short collar and long collar. When making a specific choice, I must take into account my face shape, neck length and the size of the tie knot to be tied, and never let them differ too much. Sometimes there are button-down shirts. In addition, most shirts with stand collar, wing collar and different color collar are not suitable for formal wear.

In terms of sleeves, formal shirts must be long-sleeved shirts, and short-sleeved shirts are casual. As far as cuffs are concerned, shirts are different from single-layer cuffs and double-layer cuffs. The latter is also called a French shirt, and its main function is to wear decorative cufflinks. Decorative cufflinks are also called chain links or cufflinks. If used properly, you can add noble and elegant demeanor to yourself. Abroad, it has long been an important ornament worn by business people on formal occasions. But it's a bit serious to pin a single cuff on a shirt.

In terms of pockets, it is best to wear a dress shirt without a chest pocket. In case someone puts something there. Even if you wear a shirt with a chest pocket, try to put as little stuff into it as possible.

There are four points to pay attention to when wearing a formal shirt with a suit:

First of all, the buttons should be buttoned. When wearing a suit, the buttons of your shirt should be buttoned one by one. Whether it's buttons, collar buttons or cufflinks, there are no exceptions. Only when you wear a suit instead of a tie do you have to unbutton your shirt.

Second, the sleeve length should be moderate. When wearing a suit, the sleeve length of the shirt should be moderate. The best way to look is to show the shirt cuff just about 1 cm. It would be a little funny if the cuffs of the shirt were exposed too long, or even rolled up until the sleeves of the suit jacket were turned over. However, it is also a foul to keep it "dark" forever.

The third is to put the bottom well. When wearing a long-sleeved shirt, whether you wear a coat or not, you should tuck the hem evenly and carefully into the waistband. Don't let it wrinkle at the joint with the belt, and don't stagger up and down or twist left and right. In particular, it should not be allowed to "freely move" or "escape" partially or completely outside the belt.

Fourth, the size should be appropriate. Except for casual shirts, shirts should not be too short or too tight, nor too loose or too loose. When choosing a dress shirt, it must fit. Pay special attention: its collar or bust should be moderately elastic, and its hem should not be too short.

In addition, it should be pointed out that business men can temporarily wear long-sleeved shirts and ties in their offices. However, it is indecent to go on a business trip in this image. In a word, it is impolite to wear a long-sleeved shirt and tie to attend formal activities without a suit jacket.

Second, ties. Ties can be said to be the most important accessories for business men to wear suits. That's why people say, "A man's tie is always indispensable." In Europe and America, ties are juxtaposed with watches and decorative cufflinks, which are called "three major accessories for adult men".

As the soul of a suit, a tie has many choices. When choosing a tie, business men should at least pay attention to the following points:

Fabric. The best tie should be silk or wool. Ties made of polyester are cheaper and sometimes can be used. Besides, ties made of cotton, linen, velvet, leather, leather, plastic and pearls are not suitable for business activities.

Color. As far as color is concerned, ties can be divided into monochrome and multicolor. In business activities, monochrome ties such as blue, gray, brown, black and purple are ideal choices. Business people should not wear ties in more than three colors on formal occasions. At the same time, try to wear less light or bright ties. Like ties with more than three colors, they are only suitable for social or leisure activities.

Mode. Ties suitable for business activities are mainly monochrome ties without patterns, or ties with regular geometric shapes such as stripes, dots and squares as the main patterns. Ties with figures, animals, plants, landscapes, emblems, figures or computer paintings as the main patterns are mainly suitable for social or leisure activities.

Style. The style of tie is often influenced by fashion. On this issue, business people should mainly pay attention to the following four points: First, ties can be divided into arrows and flat heads. It is generally believed that a tie with an arrow at the bottom is more traditional and formal; Flat tie is both fashionable and casual. Second, the width of ties is different. Besides keeping pace with fashion as much as possible, as a rule, the width of the tie should match my bust and the collar of my suit jacket. Form a direct ratio. Third, simple ties, such as "one-pull" ties and "one-hanging" ties, are not suitable for formal business activities. Fourth, the bow tie is suitable for matching with dresses and wing-necked shirts, mainly suitable for social occasions.

Match. Sometimes, ties and decorative handkerchiefs are combined and sold in sets. Decorative handkerchiefs used with ties should be identical in fabric, color and pattern. Both "appear" at the same time, mostly in social activities.
