If you are not part of the British royal family and you are getting married soon, rest assured! With all the flashes from your guests' cameras and smartphones, you will inevitably be like a real prince in the middle of the paparazzi, but you still have to have the presence ;)
To help you, we have put together a little guide, a helping hand to enable you to effectively choose the central element of your outfit: your shirt!
What material ?
Your guest list is made and the program for the day is set, but what will you wear on the big day?
Like your sweetheart's dress, you will need to wear a shirt worthy of the event ! Maybe it's time to treat yourself and go all out with a premium shirt with impeccable finishes!
No concessions here, you must be as elegant as possible so we are going to look at the most refined materials: poplin, pinpoint and twill.
Which pass?
As for the collar, the most classic will opt for a French collar or a semi-cutaway collar and it would be wrong to blame them! But if you have opted for a tuxedo you can opt for a solution that is both very elegant and unique: the broken collar . You will definitely be identified as a man of taste!
What colors & accessories?
No contraindications regarding colors, you can wear whatever you like (a white shirt , a blue shirt, stripes, etc.). Just keep in mind that to avoid mistakes in taste it is necessary to combine patterns of different nature and scale ! (Think about this when choosing your suit and tie ).
To give a concrete example, if you choose a striped shirt, you can opt for a plain tie (tip: combine the color of the stripes on the shirt with that of the tie), or a tie with a Prince of Wales or polka dot pattern. Plain shirts are very easy to match, they go with everything!

The details that hit the mark
You must be uncompromising about ironing off your shirt! Make a point of honor on the collar, shoulders and cuffs which must be impeccable!
A beautiful leather belt is essential. Just choose it in the same color as your shoes and you will be sure to shine brightly!
To complete the look, you can add your stays to structure the collar of the shirt and ensure a perfect fit. Cufflinks should also be taken into consideration to add a little chic if your choice is a shirt with French cuffs!
