After discussing the collar and the cuffs of a dress shirt, in this article of our guide to dress shirts we will feature some further details to choose from when selecting your perfect dress shirt.

Pockets

Some men like to have a shirt pocket; others don’t. A dress shirt without pockets is the most formal choice. A gentleman would wear a jacket and therefore he would never use his shirt pocket. On the other hand, someone engaged in physical labor used the pocket to store things while working. Nowadays no one would put items in a pocket, but there are some people who, as a stylistic choice, would like to add a pocket to a dress shirt.
