Need Help.
Just what would be considered a man's "dress shirt?"

Is that just a white shirt with collar and cuffs - or are you referring to a dress shirt like that would go with a tux.

Can you tell I don't know much about men's clothes?

1. If you know how to take them off a man ...
... you know enough.

:evilgrin:

You got it right on the first try. A dress shirt is occasionally called a "fitted shirt". The classic is white, with a non-flared collar and long sleeves with single buttons only.

The shirt that goes with a tux is called something else. Since I've never had occasion to wear a tux, I'm clueless as to its name.

--p!

2. In my experience...and I could be wrong...but I don't think so...
A man's dress shirt is NOT the one he wears with a tux...

But it IS a shirt with collar and cuffs that he would wear with a suit or some such...perhaps with a sports coat or jacket and tie...

Good luck finding out!

:hi:

3. Any shirt
with collar and cuffs and can be worn with a tie. Those Hollywood types have been brazen enough in the past to wear a collarless shirt with their tuxes. A formal shirt would be worn with a tux and usually has something quite foo-foo about it (ruffles, pleats, tucks, etc.).

All that said, it's just a bunch of subjective, cultural ideas that mean little. Wearing the "right" shirt does show that you are at least interested in appearing to play the game.

4. It doesn't have to be white.
collar, cuffs, button down. Ready for the overlay suit.
More like business attire--

Don't know much either, this info is several years old.
