I like what’s known as a Marcella shirt. It’s a white french cuff shirt with a turndown collar and a textured front and cuffs. They are very popular in Britain. Failing that. A white french cuff with a turndown collar would be my choice. The problem with wing collars is that they are from an era when collars were heavily starched. Now that they’re not, wing collars can have a floppiness that I don’t like. Just my opinion.

To coin a phrase, 'I would not start from here'. My default for attending a wedding is tweed; after all, it's not a Black-Tie evening event. If you decide on formal, then I would go wit a Marcella shirt.

It is a black-tie evening event... I guess I'll go with a Marcella shirt, I think that looks best

I would probably heavily starch my collar, but, considering that I'd have to travel, the shirt would see a few days in a suit case, so I'm thinking a Marcella shirt. Thanks!
