Boys Wing Collar Shirts & Tuxedo Shirts
Shop boys wing collar shirts and tuxedo shirts at SIRRI for bow-tie outfits, dinner suits, tuxedos and traditional formalwear. The distinctive small pointed collar tips are designed to frame a bow tie, giving the shirt a sharper dresswear finish than a standard classic collar.
Choose from white, ivory and selected darker colours, including pleated tuxedo shirts, herringbone styles and smart cotton wing collar shirts. Selected designs are also made with cuffs for cufflinks, while others use standard button cuffs.
If you are browsing every shirt style rather than specifically looking for a wing collar, visit our boys shirts collection for the complete range.
When to Choose a Boys Wing Collar Shirt
A wing collar shirt is best suited to outfits built around a bow tie, tuxedo, dinner suit or formal waistcoat. It creates a more traditional eveningwear look than a standard shirt collar and works particularly well for black-tie-inspired occasions.
- Tuxedos & dinner suits: pair a wing collar shirt with a bow tie and boys tuxedo for a classic formal look.
- Weddings & page boy outfits: white and ivory wing collar shirts work easily with black, navy, grey, beige and other suit colours.
- Communion & ceremonies: a white or ivory wing collar can create a traditional formal finish when the outfit includes a bow tie.
- Proms & formal parties: pleated and tuxedo-style shirts can be used when a sharper eveningwear look is required.
Boys Tuxedo Shirts
Boys tuxedo shirts are designed for more formal outfits and are commonly styled with a bow tie, tuxedo jacket or dinner suit. Traditional styles may feature a wing collar, pleated front, dress studs or cuffs designed for cufflinks.
Not every tuxedo shirt is identical, so check the individual product details for the collar, front design and cuff style before ordering. If the main requirement is specifically a shirt made for cufflinks rather than a wing collar, browse our boys cufflink shirts collection instead.
White & Ivory Wing Collar Shirts
White is the most versatile colour for a boys wing collar shirt and works particularly well with black, navy, grey and patterned formalwear. Ivory gives a softer finish and can coordinate well with cream, beige and warmer wedding colour schemes.
When choosing between white and ivory, consider the shirt alongside the suit, waistcoat and accessories rather than viewing the colour on its own.
Wing Collar or Classic Collar Shirt?
Choose a wing collar when the outfit is based around a bow tie, tuxedo or traditional eveningwear. The raised pointed tips are specifically designed to sit around a bow tie.
A classic collar is more versatile and can be worn with a standard necktie, bow tie or open collar. If that is the style you need, browse our boys classic collar shirts.
How to Complete a Boys Tuxedo Outfit

- Boys Bow Ties – the traditional accessory for a wing collar.
- Boys Tuxedos – complete black-tie-inspired outfits.

What is the difference between a wing collar and classic collar?
