white shirts

Formal wardrobe basics

White shirts are dress shirts in white, the most formal and versatile option in men's business attire.

The term sometimes refers metonymically to the people who wear them—office workers, executives, or professionals as a class: The white shirts in accounting don't understand what happens on the factory floor.
