Ever wondered why fashionistas closely follow celebrities like Brad Pitt or George Clooney? Simply because these men have great style sense when it comes to dressing up for formal events.

Every man secretly wishes he would have a guide to help him pick the perfect formal shirt which makes an impression. Whether the event is a friend's wedding or a business meeting, a good formal shirt is what a man needs to get noticed.

If looking to buy a formal shirt make sure to check out this brief checklist before shopping next time.

The Secret - Keep it Simple!
Fashion advisors know that simple and elegant Formal Shirts in solid colors with clean and uninterrupted patterns are perfect for any Formal occasion.

A White Shirt makes for one of the most popular Formal Shirts followed by other pastel colours such as blue, beige, soft mauve, pink and others.

A white shirt with a winged collar or a starched turndown collar with a black tie would be prefect for a diplomatic reception while a light blue shirt with a spread collar would do nicely for a Cocktail. One could even team them up with french cufflinks which would surely invite some pleasantries.

Shirts with two piece boned down collars and double cuffs (popularized the world over by James Bond) would look great with a crisp formal suit and tie.

When it comes to Formal Shirts you would be wise to trust the saying that Simplicity and Elegance go hand in hand.

The Aesthetics

Look for the perfect fit and size. The sleeves that leave the wrists exposed or bunch up at the wrist look cheap. Sleeves should be long enough to leave the cuffs visible underneath a suit.

Collars are also a very important; a very tight collar can choke and be extremely uncomfortable while a loose collar will make the entire getup look funny.

Always remember the Collars should button comfortably without leaving a gap and without pinching.

All buttons or studs should be at right places, including the small ones on the side of the sleeve near the cuff. They prevent the forearm from being exposed through the hole where the sleeve is unbuttoned.

Remember to be a little conservative during the selection, look for soft, muted colors and/or mild patterns, like stripes.

100% Cottons shirts or a 60%-40% cotton or polyester mix make for the perfect composition for quality Formal Shirts ensuring that they fit and fall well and are comfortable under a suit.

Last but not least always remember that Formal Shirts are reflection of one’s personality on important occasions in life so follow all the points mentioned above and pick the right one. Uniformity of colour and design is also very important so make sure that it matches perfectly with the remainder of the Formal Apparel.
