The dress shirt is as important to black tie as the dinner jacket or black bow tie. Dobell’s collection of men's formal dress shirts come in a huge range of styles, fit and colours. Shop our collection of tuxedo shirt options below and once you’ve selected your favourite, complete your attire with cufflinks, cummerbunds and stud buttons.
Stand out at your next black tie event with a stylish, tailored dress shirt. A sharp, fitted white shirt can make or break the black tie look, so it's important to get it right. There are many different types of dress shirts with different cuts, collars and cuffs. Men's dress shirts can also come in different styles such as ruffle front, pleated front, plain front. Most of our shirts come in classic white, but for a different style, we also stock black dress shirts.
There are many different types of men's dress shirt collar styles that can be used to add detail and create a certain look:
Also known as the standard or regular collar, this is the most common type of collar you'll see, and is recognisable for its simple, triangular shape. A great place to start when shopping for a dress shirt.
Also known as the classic collar, this is also a great choice for a tuxedo as it offers more space for a bow tie.
The club collar is similar to the spread collar, but instead of a pointed shape it is rounded. Although less common, it's a versatile choice that can work well on a dress shirt.
The quintessential dress shirt collar, the wingtip collar is also known as a tuxedo-style shirt. It has very small points on the front of the collar. Wingtip collared dress shirts were designed specifically to be worn with a bow tie, and if in doubt, you can't go wrong with this.
You can find a dress shirt in a wide variety of fits and cuts. The regular or classic cut dress shirt is a great choice for versatility and comfort. It's designed to be looser around the arms and torso. A tailored-fit dress shirt, sometimes known as a modern-fit shirt, is cut to retain the comfort and movement of a regular fit, but to hug the torso more and create a sleek look. Taking things even further, the slim-fit dress shirt is heavily tailored to hug the torso for a modern appearance. These are some of our most popular men's dress shirts and work particularly well for men with lean frames. We know everybody is unique, so we also stock men's dress shirts in big and tall sizes.
Most of our shirts come with double cuffs so you can add your own cufflinks for a unique look. However, we do also offer single cuff shirts that are as at home as part of tuxedo as they are in the office.
We know that the devil is in the detail, so don't forget that we also have a wide variety of accessories to complete your black tie outfit.
Not necessarily, but a dress shirt with a ruffled or pleated front will only look appropriate when paired with the rest of a tuxedo. For something more versatile, opt for a plain front shirt.
We recommend always checking the garment care instructions on your dress shirt. While some certainly can be put in a washer or dryer, others may be dry clean only. If it can be washed, we recommend putting it on a cool, gentle cycle and hanging it to dry.
Not always. However, most do have double cuffs to allow you to personalise your look with accessories such as cufflinks.
