Correct shirt for semi-formal (aka, back tie)?

[Kitfoxdave]

I like what is called a marcella front shirt like this https://www.charlestyrwhitt.com/us/m...OL0154WHT.html

Personally I'm not a fan of wing collar or pleated shirts but that's just me. Really any white French cuff shirt without a button down collar will work.

Do yourself a favor and wear a black bowtie you tie yourself. It's easy and looks much better.

I am not a fan of the pleated shirt style either. I purchased a french cuffed white shirt made with a twill weave with a mildly pronounced rib for a bit of texture. I had the collar altered by removing the upper part. Paired this with a black silk cravat with coachman's knot and a clan tie pin.

I am aware not your traditional 1920's highland catalogue photo, but it does look sharp and properly put together.
