 All right, so after you figured out all of the details that you want your tuxedo to have, the next step is to make sure that you're choosing the right shirt to pair with that tuxedo. There are a variety of different styles of tuxedo shirts and all of them have specific details that should be considered when it comes to the style of your tux, the formality of your event, as well as your own personal style and personal preferences. So in this video, we're gonna be going over five specific styles and types of tuxedo shirts and the details of each. So you'll be able to make the best choice for your wedding day. Tuxedo shirt number one is a wing collar shirt. This is going to be your most formal tuxedo shirt option and we're going to take a look at four of the shirts distinguishing characteristics. Number one is the collar itself with its two distinctive points that should go behind the bow tie rather than sticking straight up. Number two is the bib front which will be in a different, more textured fabric than the shirt itself. Number three is that you will use studs with this type of shirt. And number four, this shirt should have a French cuff that you fasten with cuff links. As I mentioned, the wing collar shirt is your most formal tuxedo shirt and it's actually very close to a white tie shirt. So if you want to wear a wing collar shirt, I recommend going with a three piece peak lapel tuxedo. If you're leaning towards a shawl collar or a dinner jacket, this is not the shirt for you. Tuxedo shirt number two is what's called a self-textured shirt. Self-textured simply means that the shirt is in all the same fabric. We have a turn down collar on this one, a stud front, and French cuffs. The turn down collar as well as the absence of the bib front makes this shirt less formal than the wing collar shirt. It's one of the most versatile tuxedo shirts. It can work with a three piece tuxedo, two piece with a waist covering, without peak or shawl lapel, dinner jacket really can't go wrong. One detail to pay attention to that can increase or decrease the shirt's formality is the fabric that it's made with. A textured fabric like you see in this shirt is best for more formal options and a fabric with no texture would be less formal. Tuxedo shirt number three is the plazae front. This is a very unique style of shirt that feels kind of European to me and you can see the alternating lines down the front which gives it a really nice textured appearance. Now, this is a bib front shirt. However, with the turn down collar, it's not quite as formal as the wing collar shirt. This shirt also has a stud front as well as French cuffs. In terms of formality, the plazae front is a more formal shirt so I would recommend wearing it with a three piece tuxedo or a cummerbund. If you don't wanna wear a waist covering or you're doing a dinner jacket, I do not recommend choosing this style of shirt. Tuxedo shirt number four is the pleated front. This style of shirt is less formal and in my opinion, it's the swankiest of the bunch. Most distinctive feature obviously are the pleats. It's got a stud front as well, a turn down collar and French cuffs. Now, one thing to know with the pleats is that the width of the pleats should match the frame of the wearer. So, narrow pleats for skinnier guys and broader pleats for broader guys. Because the pleated front shirt has a bit of a cool factor to it, it's a great choice with a dinner jacket, especially one that might be in an interesting color or have a bit of texture or pattern on the fabric. If you're wearing a velvet jacket, this is the shirt that you are going to want. Also looks great with a double breasted tux and is a very versatile option. Tuxedo shirt number five is what's known as the plain front or fly front. This is a very versatile shirt and has a very contemporary feel and minimalist look due to the fact that the buttons are covered up. So, no need for studs with this one. Other details are the turn down collar and the French cuffs. This is really sort of your do anything, all purpose tuxedo shirt. It can give a tuxedo a more modern and relaxed look and I also highly recommend it if you are wearing a dinner jacket. Now, one thing I would actually highly recommend is that you have two shirts on your wedding day. It's going to be a very long day, probably starting out with photos, going to the venue, taking more photos, the ceremony, cocktail reception, dinner, dancing, and then whatever else you have planned for the evening after all of that. Your shirt's going to get dirty from all of that and that's not even considering the possibility of getting a stain from your bride's lipstick, your mom's tears of joy or your best man's billing whiskey on you. So, if you are planning to wear a tux, choosing one of the more formal shirt options and having a fly front shirt as well is great for hedging against any kind of mishap and a good choice for staying fresh throughout the day and transitioning to what is typically more casual as the night wears on. So that wraps up the five types of tuxedo shirts that I recommend. You saw a little bit of the way I would advise styling each type of shirt but later on in the inspiration section of the course, you'll see the full outfits and how it all comes together. That's it for this video. If you have any questions, let me know.
