White and light blue formal shirts are staples for a professional wardrobe due to their versatility and classic appearance. They can be easily matched with various suits and ties for a clean, coordinated look.

Formal shirts do not need to be dry cleaned after every wear unless there is visible soiling or stains. It's typically sufficient to machine wash them gently and iron them for regular use. However, occasional dry cleaning can help maintain their pristine condition.

Cuff links can be used with formal shirts that have French cuffs or convertible cuffs. These shirts have holes on both sides of the cuffs instead of button closures, specifically designed for cuff links.
