Men's Solid Dress Shirts

Frequently Asked Questions

Should my first work dress shirts be solid colors or patterns?

Solid colors. Start with white and light blue, which work with every suit and tie, then add patterns once you have the basics. Solids also make it easy to wear a patterned tie or jacket.

What solid color dress shirts go best with patterned ties and sport coats?

White, light blue and light pink work with almost any tie or sport coat. Let one item carry the pattern: choose a tie that picks up a color from the jacket and keep the shirt plain.

What are textured solids?

A textured solid is one color with a visible weave, such as Oxford, twill, herringbone or dobby. From a distance it reads as solid; up close it adds depth. It is a good step between plain solids and patterns.
