How to choose a wedding shirt?
The fabric, the primary criterion for a day that is truly unique
For a wedding, it is best to avoid overly casual weaves like oxford, denim, or heavy linen, in favor of a fine poplin—preferably Italian—or a textured weave that subtly catches the light. It is this quality of fabric that gives the shirt the flair required for life's precious moments: it must stand up to close inspection, all day long, alongside the suit it complements.
The collar, for a look worthy of the occasion
A more structured collar is naturally required as soon as you need to wear a tie or a bow tie, as is often the case for a wedding. The Figaret collar, the house's signature, offers this hold without ever appearing stiff. For a more distinct touch, a collar with a more assertive style may also make sense depending on the desired look.
The French cuff, a detail that changes everything
For a wedding, the French cuff, fastened with cufflinks rather than a simple button, remains the dressiest choice. This detail, subtle yet immediately recognizable, marks the difference between an everyday shirt and one designed for the occasion.
The fit, to complement the suit without undermining it
A slim fit suits slender, tall silhouettes looking for a clean look under a jacket. The semi-fitted cut, more versatile, adapts to the majority of body types with the same level of comfort all day long—a real asset when the shirt needs to last from the ceremony to the dance floor.
And after the wedding?
A well-chosen wedding shirt is not meant to stay in a drawer: made from a fine material and well-maintained, it can be worn again for other precious occasions, season after season. That is also what it means to choose a shirt designed to last rather than for just one day.
