Dress shirt is a shirt you wear at very formal ocassions along with a tuxedo or something...
However ワイシャツ is just an ordinary shirt, like what you might wear at the office.
This question confused me too. xD

That just sounds like what's usually called a "long sleeve shirt", not specifically a "dress shirt". I live in England.

UK here, dress shirt specifically refers to a shirt worn with a dinner jacket or tuxedo, almost always features ruffles, and quite often has a wing collar and no button on the cuff (meaning you have to use cufflink). We use just 'shirt' for a shirt worn with a normal suit or on its own.

See, this example is 'dress shirt' but the opposite one, Japanese to English, only gave me the option of 'button front'. What are you DOING Duolingo
