An exceptionally refined interpretation of traditional eveningwear, this Ralph Lauren Purple Label / Ralph Lauren Collection tuxedo shirt transforms the codes of classic men’s formal dressing into an elegant women’s silhouette. Made in Italy from crisp white cotton, the shirt is distinguished by its elongated textured piqué bib front, dramatic wingtip-inspired collar, lustrous buttons and elongated cuffs.
The contrasting texture of the formal bib provides subtle dimension against the smooth cotton body, while precise shaping through the torso gives the traditionally masculine tuxedo shirt a distinctly feminine profile. The collar may be worn dramatically raised or styled more traditionally, allowing the piece to transition effortlessly from tailored evening dressing to contemporary separates.
Mother-of-pearl-effect buttons provide a polished finishing detail, including Ralph Lauren-engraved buttons visible at the cuffs. Long sleeves terminate in substantial formal cuffs, while the curved shirttail hem reinforces the shirt’s menswear inspiration.
The interior bears the Ralph Lauren Purple Label – Made in Italy label and is marked a women’s US size 2. The manufacturer's tag identifies material/style number 290615560001, corresponding to the documented Ralph Lauren women’s wingtip-collar tuxedo shirt. Contemporary documentation describes the style as white, 100% cotton, Made in Italy, with a wingtip collar, bib front, long sleeves, buttoned cuffs and curved hem.
A sophisticated example of Ralph Lauren’s longstanding fascination with formal menswear translated for women, this shirt works equally well beneath a tuxedo jacket, with sharply tailored trousers or styled more casually with denim.
