In American English, a ress shirt is a men's shirt with a collar, a full-length opening up the front from the collar to the hem, and full length sleeves with cuffs. The opening fastens closed along a placket using buttons or studs, and the cuffs close with buttons or cuff links. Some very formal shirts have separable collars attached with studs. In British English, that garment is simply called a shirt, while a dress shirt is specifically a smarter shirt of the style worn with black tie or white tie. The majority of this article discusses dress shirts in the American English sense. Dress shirts are normally made from woven cloth, and can be worn with a jacket and tie (including suits and formal wear). Less-formal variations on the standard pattern are also common. An alternative term is button-front, button-up or button-down shirt. The analogous garment to a men's dress shirt for women is a blouse.
