Oxford is a type of woven dress shirt fabric, employed to make a particular casual to formal cloth in Oxford shirts.

Contents

Structure

The Oxford weave has a basketweave structure and a lustrous aspect[1] making it a popular fabric for a dress shirt.[2]

Varieties

Varieties in the cloth are the plain Oxford, the pinpoint Oxford and the more formal, royal Oxford.

Uses

While these first two are more often paired with casual shirt designs like a button-down collar, the third type of Oxford cloth, "royal Oxford", is considered more versatile weave that can be paired with either business or sporty dress codes.
