Men's Blue Dress Shirts

Frequently Asked Questions

What suit colors look best with a light blue dress shirt for the office?

Light blue works with navy, grey, charcoal, tan and brown suits. It is strongest under navy and grey, the two most common office suits. Pair it with a navy, burgundy or patterned tie.

Is a light blue dress shirt more versatile than white for work?

Almost. Light blue goes with the same suits as white and looks softer under office lighting, which makes it the better everyday shirt. White is still more formal, so keep it for interviews, black tie and formal weddings.

What is a dusty blue dress shirt, and what do you wear it with?

Dusty blue is a muted, greyed blue, softer than light blue and a popular wedding color, especially for groomsmen. Wear it with grey, tan or navy suits and a tie in navy, burgundy or a neutral pattern.

When should you wear a navy dress shirt instead of light blue?

Choose navy for evenings and smart casual: it works under a grey or tan suit, with chinos, or on its own. Light blue is the daytime business shirt. Avoid a navy shirt under a navy suit unless you want a tonal look.
