Dress shirts in plus sizes – the perfect tuxedo companion

Elegant and festive: The dress shirt. It is traditionally white and an essential component to go with a tuxedo. True to style, modern men like to wear it with a black tuxedo.

The outfit is rounded off with suitable accessories like a bow tie or a cummerbund. Sophisticated details like the vertically pleated front give the dress shirt a gorgeous look. Shirts worn with tuxedos are usually white, however, ivory can also be spotted occasionally.

Aside from the colour, dress shirts also vary in style. There are smooth shirts and piqué-front ones.

And of course there are also pleats: The breast area can feature vertical or horizontal pleating.

Varieties of dress shirts

Dress shirts are traditionally made in white and feature French cuffs. There is very little room for experimentation when it comes to festive wear, which is why there are few options for adding highlights to a tuxedo. Unusual cufflinks can be used as eye-catchers that make a tuxedo stand out. The type of cufflinks that are most commonly worn with tuxedos is decorated with cabochons to match the shirt buttons. Cabochons are oval or round gemstones that round off the elegant look of a dress shirt. Cabochons are black and therefore a good match for a tuxedo. To be on the safe side, you can go for a so called “gentleman’s set”. The set contains buttons and cufflinks with matching designs.
