How to Pair & Style a Men’s Black Dress Shirt

When attired properly, a black dress shirt can add sophisticated style and a boost of confidence to your upgraded look. But it does need to be coordinated and styled appropriately, or it can have the obverse effect.

One of the easiest ways to make a black dress shirt bring out that bold style is by pairing it with other black apparel and accessories. A black shirt/black tie/black suit combo can really make a statement, and even gets more refined with subtle pops of color in the form of a pocket square or lapel pin.

When you’re looking for a more casual look, pair your black dress shirt with dark denim. Jeans with a dark wash, when paired with a black dress shirt, can add sleek style that takes your after work wardrobe up a notch.

Things to Consider When Shopping for a Dress Shirt

First off, let’s take a look at the material a dress shirt is best made of. When searching for a dress shirt to add to your collection, look for one that’s made of mostly cotton. It’s a durable and breathable material that will last, keeping your comfy each time you wear it. Some shirts will offer a bit of stretch by adding in synthetic fibers like polyester or spandex. This construction can be extra helpful for guys with a bit bigger builds. But know that these synthetic fibers break down a bit quicker than natural fibers like cotton.

When trying on a dress shirt for the right fit, there are a few things to note. You want to choose the fit and size of shirt that allows you to cross your arms with ease. Buttons should secure easily as well, and should strain as you stand still. Dress shirts should be longer than typical tops as well, so they can remain tucked in. Around the collar, you should be able to place your index finger between the shirt and your neck, and the sleeves should hit right where the thumb and wrist meet.

Dress shirt collars are another factor to consider when looking for a new dress top. Here are a few of the more popular collar types:

• Button-Down Collar

A more casual style, a button-down collar features - as the name suggests - two buttons on each side of the collar. This collar type can be worn with or without a tie, and the buttons should always remain fastened.

• Spread Collar

This is a popular on-trend choice, and is great for guys with more narrow faces. The collar points are spread far apart, accommodating a tie with ease and offering a modern look.

• Point Collar

A point collar is more traditional and classic, offering a timeless appeal and style that makes it a staple of the wardrobes of guys that wear suits and ties to work every day. This collar type is also a favorite of men with more round faces, as the narrow collar balances the face shape.
