WHICH SHIRT SHOULD YOU CHOOSE FOR A WEDDING?
As shirt experts, we at CAFÉ COTON are in the best position to prepare you for the most beautiful day in the life of the future bride and groom. Because we know that choosing the perfect shirt can be a real headache, here's a short, non-exhaustive guide to help you choose the main element of your outfit.
The colour
For a wedding, it's best to opt for simplicity and sober colours such as white, ivory or sky blue. As for patterns, opt for something discreet. Unless the brides have chosen a theme beforehand that would contradict this advice, avoid colours that are too flamboyant and patterns that are too extravagant. The shirt should also match the colour of the suit and vice versa.

The subject
For a wedding, you need to choose a noble fabric for an elegant, chic look, such as herringbone. You may also want to consider the comfort of the fabric, as the festivities will continue late into the night. Why not opt for the softness of poplin or the finesse of Pin Point to stay elegant while feeling comfortable? Finally, in summer, as an alternative to cotton, you can opt for linen, which is thermo-regulating, a quality not to be underestimated in the hot summer weather. For more originality, you can opt for an Oxford shirt to stand out from the crowd.
What to wear with a shirt?
To go with your shirt, choose trousers with a classic cut and sober colours. To complete the look, the choice of footwear is essential, and the biggest mistake to avoid is wearing trainers. The look needs to be elegant from head to toe, so shoes should be elegantly styled with loafers or derbies, for example. To complete the look, you can choose whether or not to wear a tie or bow tie, but be careful when choosing a collar!
That col?
Ties should be worn with a collar with flaps, never with a Mao or Officer collar. Instead, opt for an Italian or semi-Italian collar. Our 'Selection' line, with its longer collar, is ideal for wearing with a tie that will elegantly cover its mother-of-pearl buttons. For the bow tie, opt for the wing collar. But it's completely possible to attend a wedding without a tie or bow tie, depending on the wedding and your tastes.
