Let us have you dive into the pool of colors and alternative options than a white shirt.
A Blue Shirt
Blue is the color of most men, even females, and unarguably the best choice for a colorful alternative to the white shirt. There’s a tremendous range of shades for this one color and each one has the capability to change the vibe of your look. Take the bright Royal Blue from the Be Bright Shirt Series for instance. Just as it appears, it’s a color that will brighten up your entire look.
A pale blue on the other hand is also a great choice that can stand out like anything. This color alone can add a hint of coolness to your look, it can make you look casually cool to formally cool. Pair this cool shirt with a rich navy blue suit and you will look sleek and smart.
Want to experiment with bravery further? Pair the light blue color shirt with a burgundy color suit – you will turn the gazes!
A Pink Shirt
If you’re ready to step outside all the boundaries and rules then try the Pink Color Shirt. This color is often less taken, yet it shouldn’t be since it has a great potential to spike up your average formal look into a dominatingly appealing look. Pick a light pink shirt and wear it along with a black suit or choose the Bright Pink shirt from the Be Bright Series and create a stylish look.
A Purple Shirt
A purple shirt can be your next best friend for a refreshing take on your formal dress. You can go for a dark purple or even a lighter purple tone to match your skin tone and taste. A Lilac shirt with a black color suit is an underrated look. However, the rule here with a purple shirt is to keep the tie off the neck and have a tailored fit suit on the top to keep it looking modern.
Other Color Shirts
There are plenty of other colors to consider when dressing up formally or to look ultra-modern. Take the colors like green, orange, and cream for instance, you might have not seen them along with a suit, but there are plenty of other ways to wear them. Wear a green shirt under a waistcoat and smart-fit pants. You’ll be nothing less than a smart-looking stylish man.
A Striped Shirt
Wear a plain smart fit tailored suit against a striped shirt and you will look lively and cool. The chicest and most versatile counterpart of a white shirt is a striped shirt that has blue stripes on a white base or a pale blue striped shirt. Wear either of the shirts with any of your suits, lighter color suits, darker color suits, and all the other types in between the two tones.
A Dotted Shirt
No this isn’t the polka dot shirt, but rather it’s the subtle and refined spotted shirt. This is the shirt that will add texture to your suit in an overall feel. Choose a coupe-dotted pattern in the shirt that gives a very charismatic appeal or pick a navy vividly spotted shirt. Just remember that we are not aiming to go polka dots here.
A Floral Shirt
A floral shirt under a suit might not seem like the appropriate choice for a formal look. This becomes specifically crucial when everyone at the event will appear dressed in suits. But trust us on this when we say a subtle floral shirt with flowers in a muted tone under a suit jacket will have you stand out like a model for a ramp walk. Opt for an intricate botanical pattern and tropical leaf motifs.
Best Alternative Textures to a White Shirt
A Knitted Shirt
During the colder days or days when the weather feels slightly cooler side, choose a knitted shirt over a plain shirt. Of course, the nature of your event is important here and so are the dress code rules of the event. A knitted polo shirt under a suit will give you a very cool retro-mod look. A teal color knitwear, mustard, or burgundy knitted shirt will add the necessary dimensions to your style.
A Denim Shirt
If you want to take your suit look towards an edgier side then go for a denim shirt in a light blue color and then a white shirt. This look won’t be a formal look but it will be the smart-casual look you’d be hoping to achieve. The best part about this shirt is that it comes in huge variations of shades, so you’ll be able to match one with every color suit of yours.
