Dress shirt Men's Best Clothes
A dress shirt (in American English), or simply shirt (also button-front or button-up shirt) is a shirt with a collar, a full-length opening at the front from the collar to the hem, and sleeves with cuffs. Dress shirts are predominantly used by men, since women usually wear blouses. The front opening is fastened using buttons or studs, and the cuffs close with buttons or cuff links. Dress shirts are normally made from woven cloth, and are often accompanied by a jacket and tie, for example with a suit or formalwear, but the shirts are also worn more casually without.
While the term button-down is sometimes used in American English to refer to shirts in general, it is still generally used, as originally, to refer to a shirt with a buttoned collar. In British English, a dress shirt is known as just a shirt, while dress shirt means specifically the more formal evening garment worn with black- or white- tie, also discussed below. Some of these formal shirts have stiff fronts and detachable collars attached with collar studs.
