As far as the weaves, I think (hope) the general principle of simpler/plainer = more formal applies. So in comparing, say, solid shirts, maybe poplin is more formal than, say, twill, which is more formal than oxford cloth. The extent to which other people actually notice this and/or care is beyond me. I don't worry about it too much. I happen to like twill, for instance, so that's what I frequently buy.
