Dress to impress: 17 best men’s dress shirts for a polished office look
The article presents a guide to men’s dress shirts, highlighting expert advice and a selection of styles for office and formal wear. Fashion director Justin Berkowitz says fit and proportion matter most: a shirt should follow the body without feeling tight, and its collar should suit the width of a jacket’s lapels.
The recommendations span different prices, fabrics and uses, including wrinkle-resistant organic cotton from Quince, a slim-fit shirt from Lululemon, Eton’s structured twill, and lightweight, moisture-wicking options from Tommy Bahama. Other choices include European-woven striped shirts, affordable cotton poplin from Gap and an iron-free design from Uniqlo. The supplied article text is cut off before the full list is shown.
In short
- Fit should be trim without pulling or billowing.
- Match collar size to jacket lapels.
- Picks include wrinkle-resistant, travel-friendly and budget options.
Explained simply
Dress shirts are collared shirts worn with suits or smart office clothes. They come in different cuts and fabrics, from crisp cotton to lighter materials designed to resist wrinkles or keep the wearer cool.
A good fit follows the body without pulling or feeling tight. The collar also needs to sit well with a jacket’s lapels, the folded edges around its front. Shirts vary in price and features, so the right choice can depend on the wearer’s workplace, comfort and how much care they want to give the fabric.
