Gentlemen, the traditional dress shirt for black-tie attire—also known as dinner or tuxedo dress—is a white Marcella bib shirt. A tuxedo should never be worn with a black, ivory, or blue shirt, regardless of the jacket’s color. Even if the tuxedo jacket is ivory, green, burgundy, or blue, a crisp white shirt remains the only appropriate choice.
Moreover, a black shirt should never be worn with a tie on any occasion.
