I’d say they’re equally natural!

#1 sounds a little more like you're wearing the dress shirt or holding it in your hands, and you're showing it to someone in order to demonstrate what you want the suit to match.
Both of these make sense in the situation of talking about a shirt besides the one you're currently wearing.

@bsloan7 @jimpjorps Alright. Thank you both! The situation is that I’m wearing a dress shirt, and I ask the sales clerk to get me a black suit that matches my shirt.
