Dress shirts and casual button-ups - at first glance, they might look the same but there are a few major differences between the two.
Why does it matter? Well, wearing a dress shirt when you should be wearing a casual button-up (or vice versa) can ruin your outfit, and it’s a mistake I see guys making all the time, especially at weddings and out at the bar or club.
So, to make sure you don’t make that mistake, I’m going to cover 7 differences between dress shirts and casual button-ups, including the details, the fabric and colors, and the fit.
We’ll also look at some examples of quintessential button ups to see which ones are dressy and which ones are casual. By the end of this video, you’ll know which type of button up shirt to wear in order to look and feel confident.

    I think button down and pointed collars can serve as both casual and formal regardless of being "stiff" as long as it looks good. There's no strict rule. I personally think point collars look nicer with a tie than those cutaways do. You surely don't want to casually wear a designated dress shirt with a cutaway collar, but you can certainly wear a suitable shirt for both casual and formal settings. It's actually very subjective, so your nonobjective statement saying it's a mistake is quite false, sir.

    Agree that very formal shirts generally look incoherent with casual outfits, though mostly wear “casual” dress shirts (in linen/ cotton/linen mix) and I’ll occasionally wear when with shorts or even jeans. It really all depends on how big of a gap there is between the different pieces of clothing that you are using in your outfit.

    Casual shirts can be tucked in with shirt stays and IMO they generally look better than dress shirts. Dress shirts just looks too "glossy" to me. I prefer the matte finish and thicker fabric. It looks cleaner. So I usually wear my casual shirts dressier.

    Hot take: I’m a public accountant and I wear my dress shirts untucked at work sometimes. French cuffs too. I don’t wear accessories outside of the links when I wear it untucked. I’m still the most dressed up person in the office usually. First time I did it people were surprised, but never said anything negative. Also I’m 26, I’ve been to only 3 weddings and 1 funeral in my entire life. How often are people going to these things? I avoid funerals because I don’t like them. I just don’t know anyone getting married I guess.

    The distinction is really much simpler than this. A casual shirt will be sized something like "large" and a dress shirt will be sized something like "16 34/35." A dress shirt will have an exact collar length. The best dress shirts also have an exact sleeve length. All short sleeve shirts are casual.

    Disagree. Maybe that was once true, but too many retailers are selling to both markets and bringing their market's most common sizing with them. So Target and Kohls will sell lines of dress shirts with alpha sizing. And Spier and Mackay sells casual shirts with exact collar sizes. Likewise, Indochino and other MTM companies are selling casual shirts with custom measurements.

    First off, I completely disagree with having an untucked dress shirt in conjunction with a tie-- I think that would negate the intention of looking professional altogether. On the other hand, I completely agree with having all shirt buttons fastened on any shirt, be it dress or casual. I have worn them like this all my life, and have been under the assumption that the buttons are there for a reason, despite what criticism I may get. I feel strange wearing a button-up shirt without a fastened collar, and obtain pleasure from having a snug collar around my neck-- I probably have a fetish, but I am treated with respect by others as a result of making an attempt to at least put effort into dressing in something other than a t-shirt or pajamas. To date, no one I have run across has brought up the fact that my collar is buttoned with the absence of a tie. Within the last few years, I have adopted bolo ties to complement my casual look, and actually prefer them to the "invisible tie" look for the most part, however depending on the type of shirt I am wearing.

    Hello Brock, I love your opinions on wearing dress shirts. It seems that “Fashion Rules of Thumb” in the USA differ slightly to what is sported amongst younger guys in the UK. This concerns the wearing of dress shirts on casual occasions and along with jeans etc. untucked and fully buttoned without a tie. You seem to be inferring that it is a fashion violation or sin to dress in that style. You would probably condemn my appearance if you saw me. I like to feel good, cool and trendy and I find the full buttoned and untucked style so attractive and even sexy. Perhaps it would be a good subject to feature and video because I don’t think I can be the only person to have this opinion and practice it. Come over to the UK and walk the streets, bars and look on line at some of the fashion outlets where you will notice many male models wearing dress shirts untucked and fully buttoned to the collar without a tie.
