The white dress shirt is the most versatile shirt that everybody needs. It’s the perfect blank canvas from which to build from. Aaron Marion of alpha m. discusses the fabric of a white dress shirt. Look for 100% cotton shirt- wears well, breathable, and feels great on your skin.
The three most common weaves
- Oxford: looser weave, textured, casual
- Pinpoint: happy medium between oxford and poplin
- Poplin: tightest, softest, finest feel, wrinkles.
The weight of the fabric is described in grams. The lower the grams, the thinner the fabric. The thread count is also a factor. The higher the thread count, the silker / softer the fabric. Think of your dress shirt fabric like sheets: 100% cotton and consider thread count (higher the smoother but not too light-weight).
