Is it a tuxedo shirt?

[Allen]

Only after I left the shop did I realise that I might have bought a formal shirt. Now, I have bought this shirt in order to wear it with a suit.
Description:
White, turndown collar with a medium spread, fly front, no pockets, double french cuffs. However it doesn't have a "front" so to speak, it's all the same.
What do you think? Could I wear it with a suit?

No it's not. I hope your imagination is not that limited, frankly. I am posting from somewhere where I don't have the said shirt.

Can't the question wait until you have a picture?

Anyway: what's the fabric like? Texture/weight?

Your description could just as easily apply to formal or dress... even some kinds of casual.

Let me guess: Your mean a french placket:

To placket or not to placket

no, it's fly front, as in buttons are covered. The fabric is light, not a tight weave, rather relaxed.

If he actually means fly front, that's with covered buttons. If it's a "French front" without a placket then it's good for anything. If it actually has a fly front it's probably intended as a dress shirt to wear with a dinner jacket. But what is the fabric like? If it has a heavy texture I wouldn't wear it with anything other than a dinner suit.

How do you notice a front with covered buttons after leaving the store?!

If it is just a simple broadcloth shirt (not pique, no pleats, etc.) with a fly front, I don't know why you couldn't wear it with a suit. Your tie would cover up the fly front anyway.

sounds like the formal shirt similar to the one worn by Bond in Casino Royale ... but without a picture it is just guessing
