Generally, we suggest solid white twills and broadcloths for tuxedo shirts. Twills are more opaque and have more shine than broadcloths, lending them a more formal appeal. Twills also drape better under tuxedo jackets. Broadcloths feel smoother and more modern, but are generally more sheer than twills.

Many men wonder whether they need an undershirt with their suit. An undershirt is more than just an article of clothing; it enhances comfort, absorbs sweat, and increases the lifespan of your shirts. It will protect your expensive clothing, providing a defensive layer between your body and your dress shirt.
