There are some fashion staples you cannot live without -- one of it is the white shirt. These outfit building blocks are versatile pieces that can be worn for both formal and casual events, layered with a jacket, or even on its own. Either way, white shirts give you a chic and timeless look in any occasion. Pair a relaxed white dress shirt with shorts for a suave weekend look, or dress to impress in a fitted slim silhouette with a suit.
For the uninitiated, white dress shirts are technically all the same -- what makes them different is the different collar styles. When customising a tailored dress shirt, you can choose between the straight-point collar or the spread collar, both of which are great for all occasions. If you’re planning to wear a bow tie, you'll need to get one with a wingtip collar (or the golf-collared one if you need something versatile). Formal dress shirts also don’t have pockets, while the ones with a breast pocket is considered informal.
If customising your own suit and dress shirts at these KL tailors are not your kind of thing and you’d prefer to get something off the rack, here are five of the best white dress shirts you’d want to have in your wardrobe because trust us, you’ll want to wear them time and time again.
