Formal Balamonte shirt
What makes our shirt special? It is an elegant white shirt with cufflink cuffs, perfect for all kinds of formal occasions, such as family celebrations and business meetings.
The white Balamonte shirt features a tailored fit that ensures perfect wearing comfort.
Cotton shirt
A natural cotton fabric with a twill weave is extremely soft to the touch and very easy to iron. One of the greatest advantages of cotton is its natural origin — it is an eco-friendly and sustainable material. Cotton allows excellent air circulation, so the skin can breathe even on hot days. This fabric is both soft and durable, making shirts made from it comfortable to wear for a long time.
Pin-tuck shirt with concealed placket
Cufflink cuffs make the shirt exceptionally elegant. It is the perfect choice for those looking for a shirt with the highest level of formality.
Cufflinks can add a sense of sophistication and elegance. When choosing them, it is important to pay attention to their shape and the materials they are made from.
The most elegant options are simple in form (round or square) and made with natural stones such as onyx or lapis. Cufflinks crafted from silver or gold will elevate the entire outfit to an even higher level.
Mother-of-pearl buttons
When choosing a shirt, it is also worth paying attention to the buttons. The highest quality shirts feature mother-of-pearl buttons. These buttons are noble and extremely elegant, adding a unique shine to the shirt.
It is also worth noting that, thanks to natural color variations, each button is unique and one of a kind. Mother-of-pearl buttons are made from a natural material recycled from oyster shells, which means their production does not require harmful chemicals and helps to protect the environment.
How to choose a bow tie with a shirt ?
When choosing a bow tie to wear with a white shirt featuring a hidden placket, it is important to consider the material from which it is made. The most formal bow ties are made of silk. The most elegant ones are completely plain, but if you want to add a bit of character to your outfit, you can opt for a bow tie made of silk grenadine. This fabric has a distinctive three-dimensional texture that gives a slightly rustic touch. The color of the bow tie is also crucial. For a tuxedo, only black is acceptable (regardless of the tuxedo’s color).
With a suit, however, you have much more freedom. Here, the rules are similar to those for a tie — the bow tie should match the overall color scheme and coordinate well with the suit, pocket square, and cufflinks.
It is also worth remembering that a high-quality, elegant bow tie is always self-tied. Unlike pre-tied bow ties (which are permanently sewn), a self-tied bow tie does not have a perfectly symmetrical shape, adding that touch of effortless elegance so highly valued by true gentlemen.
