Black Tuxedo Shirt

Every Detail, Designed for Black-Tie Perfection

Our black tuxedo shirt is hand-stitched by master artisans, using the finest 100% cotton — crafted entirely for you and no one else. Choose your collar: a wing collar for the most traditional black-tie silhouette, where the pointed tips tuck neatly behind your bow tie, or a spread collar for a modern finish that pairs equally well with a necktie. Both are cut and pressed by hand to hold their shape through a full evening of dancing, photographs, and toasts.

The front of the shirt features a hand-pleated bib — fine, vertical folds sewn one at a time along the placket, giving the shirt the structured texture that separates true formalwear from an ordinary dress shirt.

Beneath the bib, you can select a hidden button placket for a clean, seamless line, or classic French cuff studs in black, silver, or mother-of-pearl for a refined finishing touch at the wrist. Every stud fastening is fitted to sit flush against your cuff, so it stays polished from cocktail hour to last call.

Whether you’re standing at the altar, walking into a black-tie gala, or leading your groomsmen down the aisle, this shirt is built from the collar down to move with you — not against you.

Q: Can you wear a black shirt with a tuxedo?
Traditionally, tuxedos are paired with white shirts, but a black tuxedo shirt has become a popular modern choice for fashion-forward black-tie events, all-black formal looks, and evening parties. Andre Emilio’s black tuxedo shirt is custom-tailored with a wing or spread collar so it complements your tuxedo jacket perfectly.
Q: What makes a tuxedo shirt different from a regular dress shirt?
A true tuxedo shirt features a pleated or textured bib front, French cuffs designed for cufflinks, and a formal collar built to support a bow tie — details a standard dress shirt doesn’t have. Every Andre Emilio tuxedo shirt is made with these authentic formal details.
Q: Can I customize the collar and cuff style on my black tuxedo shirt?
Yes. Using our online customizer, you can choose from wide spread, wing, cutaway, or button-down collars, along with French cuff or button cuff styles, and even add monogramming — all at no extra cost.
Q: How long does it take to receive a custom black tuxedo shirt?
Your bespoke black tuxedo shirt is hand-stitched to your exact measurements and delivered within 14 working days across the USA.
Q: What fabric is used for the black tuxedo shirt?
We use 100% cotton fabric with a 110+ thread count — among the finest available for bespoke formalwear — for a soft feel and crisp, long-lasting finish.
