If it’s been some time since you’ve unearthed your formal shirts in the recent year, worry not. We’ve got you. The good news is there are so many fresh and stylish shirts to choose from these days, and we rounded up the best shirts for all occasions.

Across the board, your white dress shirt must have a few characteristics. First, the collar has got to be clean, crisp, and resilient. Material is key, as it should offer ease of movement and cool breathability. Next is the fit. We all know slim is the way to go. However, that doesn’t mean it has to hold onto your body like performance wear, especially if you want to wear a t-shirt underneath. You can also partner it with shirt jackets for all occasions. Don’t be stuck on slim, your dress shirt can have some room, just make sure it stays tucked so you avoid a baggy mess.

The Gentleman’s Guide to Wedding Attire
Wedding toast

As a menswear writer, I take pride in snazzy dressing. You can imagine my chagrin when I showed up to a recent wedding as the worst-dressed groomsman. It had been a perfect storm of sartorial mishaps. I’d slimmed down since the last time I wore black tie, leaving the jacket and cummerbund baggy. My favorite cuff links had vanished on a work trip. To complete the fiasco, my tuxedo shirt bore an archipelago of merlot stains from a Christmas party in late ’25.

Fortunately, I had the chance to salvage my dignity at another wedding a few weeks later. I rallied like Rocky. Rush alterations. New cuff links. A crisp Marcella shirt. Polished black shoes. I went from disheveled schlub to black-tie stud.

The watch is built on TAG Heuer’s 39mm Carrera Glassbox, the modern take on the original 1963 Carrera that swaps a bezel for a highly domed sapphire crystal. But the design here pulls specifically from the Heuer Roadmaster, a vintage timing stopwatch Team Ikuzawa used trackside through the ’70s and ’80s, not from any particular car or race.

We measure our programming by whether it gives Club members and resort guests something they cannot find anywhere else. Cavallino Classic does that. It is not only for collectors and enthusiasts. It is for anyone who appreciates rare craftsmanship and a weekend built around it – Daniel Hostettler, President & CEO of The Boca Raton
