The Definitive Guide to Master Men's Formal Fashion

When it comes to mastering the art of men's formal fashion, certain timeless principles hold regardless of the ever-changing trends. At Turtle, we understand the importance of looking your best in formals, whether it's a crucial business meeting, a job interview, or a special event. In this definitive guide, we'll take you through the essential elements of men's formal fashion, focusing on two key components: formal shirts for men and the classic formal combination you can try.

Elevate Your Formal Attire with the Right Shirt

  • Choose the Right Fit

    The foundation of a great formal outfit starts with a well-fitted shirt. Ensure that the shirt you select fits you perfectly. Avoid shirts that are too loose or too tight; they should allow ease of movement while maintaining a tailored appearance.

  • Pay Attention to Fabric

    Opt for high-quality fabrics like cotton or cotton blend for formal shirts. These fabrics are breathable, comfortable, and have a crisp appearance that exudes professionalism.

  • Classic Colors Are Key

    For formal occasions, classic colours like white, light blue, and subtle pastels are your best allies. These colours convey a sense of sophistication that's perfect for formal settings. Alternatively, dark colours like navy blue or black can also make you look dashing.

  • Collar Matters

    The collar style can significantly impact your overall look. A spread or point collar is timeless and versatile, suitable for most formal occasions. Remember to pair the collar style with your tie; a larger knot pairs well with a spread collar.

  • Cufflinks Add a Touch of Class

    For a truly formal touch, consider shirts with French cuffs that require cufflinks. These small accessories can make a big difference in elevating your formal attire.

Experiment with Formals

  • Mix and match stripes

    A striped shirt goes well with striped pants when paired well. The key is to keep it minimal and opt for pinstripes instead of bold ones.

  • Prints are your friend

    Unique prints go a long way in making you stand out from the crowd. Check out our new formals at the A/W’23 collection for abstract printed shirts that can level up your style game.

  • Formals don’t mean boring

    Just because it is a formal gathering, doesn’t mean you have to let go of your personal style. You can bring a flair to your personality through subtle touches like a bold shirt print or even a bright pocket square. Find some interesting options with our new formals in the A/W’23 collection.
