Our Choice: Blue Formal Shirts
About our Formal Shirt Selection
There's no doubt that a light blue shirt is one of the most popular colours in formal or business shirts for men. But that might mean you are put off a little. If everyone has one, isn't it boring and predictable to wear a light blue shirt yourself? Well, not at all. There are quite a few unique styles of shirts in pale blue, all with a subtle but significant difference, such as shirts made from poplin or twill, or shirts with a spread collar or double cuff. Plus, a light blue shirt complements so many other colours, so you can easily stand out from the crowd by choosing a more strikingly coloured neck tie for example. However, formal dressing for men isn't necessarily about standing out from the crowd - certainly not in an obvious and over the top way. Dressing for business means, above all, looking smart. And what better way to do this than buy picking out a high quality shirt from one of the top shirt makers, such as TM Lewis or Charles Tyrwhitt. Quality and classic tailoring will never fail to make you look good.
Which is the best blue formal shirt to buy?
There are quite a few formal shirts to choose from above, in many shades of blue, and in many patterns. We've made sure we have selected only shirts that offer value for money, but also the best quality. After all, a formal shirt is designed and made to be worn for formal occasions, including business. You need it to be perfect, so that you can look your best, and for that you can rely on the famous name shirts above. As to which shade or pattern blue shirt to buy, consider a high quality shirt in light blue, in a traditional design, such as a double-cuff with a cutaway collar. If you don't already own such a shirt, it is pretty much a classic of any modern man's wardrobe, and a mainstay of formal work and business wear for men. One of the main reasons for this is that the pale blue shirt is so versatile, and can be worn well with a variety of colours of ties and of course with the classic business suits, such as navy, grey or pinstripe. Plus the light blue colour is quite complementary for most men, giving a gentler appearance than say a stark white shirt, but still smart and formal. For some of the best examples of this shirt style, see the Windsor Double Cuff shirts from TM Lewin.
A blue formal shirt is a mainstay of formal menswear, especially for business, and for wearing a lounge suit. We feel you can never have too many blue shirts. But if you are looking for something a little bit different, then consider a blue check, perhaps like a gingham check, sometimes referred to as an overcheck. Or perhaps something a little less busy, with a subtler check pattern. See our checked shirts selection here. A darker blue shirt would make a great choice too, if your office dress code should allow. Generally a royal blue, mid blue or French blue will work perfectly for business dress, and go well with a variety of ties and suits. But avoid the really dark blues, such as navy, unless you are going for a particular look not normally associated with formal dress. A navy blue shirt can be a lot harder to get away with in a more formal business environment.
