You have probably noticed that I adore white shirts. White shirts are classy and elegant, while being suitable for any occasion. You could wear a white shirt from smart business and casual to Black Tie. A clothing essential that matches with almost every outfit and promises a fresh yet severe result.

Having plenty of options, wearing mostly white shirts, doesn’t mean you always have to look the same. The collar, the style, the fabric, the buttons, the accessories are some things that make a shirt unique.

At today’s post I chose to present you six different styles of white shirts, handmade by Christakis. All shirts are made of high quality two ply swiss poplin, a dressy and elegant fabric.

The pleated front white shirt
The pleated front dress shirt is considered to be one of the most formal shirts. Usually combined with a tuxedo, this kind of shirt is one of the favorite choices when it comes to Black Tie. It has pleats down the front of the shirt and hidden buttons, a feature that makes it ideal for wearing it with a bow-tie.

As Tom Ford said :

“When I put on a white shirt, it’s the same feeling as getting into crisp, fresh sheets at night. I just feel good in them.”
