Moss Marcella Slim Fit Wing Collar Dress Shirt, White at John Lewis & Partners

Take the guesswork out of building your black-tie look with Moss's slim-fit white dress shirt, crafted in pure cotton with a Marcella dobby weave that stiffens up the feel, in turn cranking up the formality.

A wing collar makes all the right statements, while double cuffs provide a clean backdrop for your choice of links - we'd go pearlised offset with black studs through the placket.
