The Only 5 Dress Shirts You Actually Need in Your Wardrobe
Don’t Overthink It — Just Get These 5 Dress Shirts
Forget the dozens of shirts clogging your wardrobe that never get worn. Building a smarter, more stylish wardrobe starts with versatile dress shirts — the kind that work for date nights, formal events, office settings, or weekend plans.
At BigNITEout, we specialise in men’s dress shirts with personality — bold, confident, and built to stand out.
Here are five essential types of dress shirts every man should own, and how to style them for maximum impact.
1. The Classic White Dress Shirt
Why It’s Essential:
Crisp, clean, and timeless. The white dress shirt works under a suit, with denim, or styled open with rolled sleeves. It’s your ultimate blank canvas.
👉 Shop the English Laundry White Shirt
Style Tip:
Tuck it into tailored trousers for formal occasions, or leave it slightly unbuttoned with chinos for effortless style.
2. The Bold Print Dress Shirt
Why It’s Essential:
This is your statement piece — florals, paisleys, or artistic prints that show off your personality and confidence.
👉 Shop John Lennon by English Laundry
Perfect For:
Weddings, nights out, dinner dates, or anywhere you want to stand out in the best way.

3. The Black Dress Shirt
Why It’s Essential:
Understated, sleek, and versatile. A black dress shirt is perfect for evening events and pairs well with virtually everything.
👉 Shop the John Lennon Black Shirt
Style Tip:
Pair with black or charcoal pants for a monochrome power look, or dress it down with ripped denim and boots.

4. The Patterned Texture Dress Shirt
Why It’s Essential:
Think subtle stripes, checks, or weaves that add depth without loud prints. This is your “smart casual” go-to.
👉 Shop Textured Shirts Collection
Great For:
Office wear, client meetings, and day-to-night transitions.

5. The Colour Pop Dress Shirt
Why It’s Essential:
Add some energy to your wardrobe with colour — deep burgundy, cobalt blue, or teal adds personality without being over-the-top.
Style Tip:
Balance with neutral pants and let the colour take the spotlight. Great for parties, social events, or standing out in group photos.
