Time to update my wardrobe and looking for some suggestions on buying a few white dress shirts. Something that is high quality and comes in a slim fit while also not breaking the bank. Any good suggestions ? I hear good things about Charles Tyrwhitt but have never owned any. Any help is appreciated!

I don't wear slim fit shirts, but I've had good luck with Charles Tyrwhitt, Thin Red Line and TM Lewin.

Good luck!

I don't know your "Break the bank" price point but maybe this will help: https://www.businessinsider.com/best...ess-shirts-men

I used Brooks Brothers when I worked in the corporate world. I am surprised how much their prices have risen.

I personally wear Brooks Brothers.

I really like my Charles Tyhrwhitt, but my favorite budget white dress shirt (for wearing without a tie) is the Stafford Oxford Slim Fit non-wrinkle from JC Penney. I prefer them to J Crew/Brooks Brothers/Banana Republic oxfords, and they are usually half the price.

bdex75 · 9 March 2019, 03:13 PM

Brooks Brothers fits the bill in my opinion.

Jos. A. Bank because they are the only seller whom I could find that offers the tab collar. To my eye it is a sharp look, appropriate in nearly all business and social setting and seldom seen.

Star Ferry · 9 March 2019, 04:34 PM

I own ascot chang and zegna shirts, but if you want bang for buck, then I say Bonobos

OysterBracelet · 9 March 2019, 06:35 PM

I like Ross for my shirts.

Lawman77 · 9 March 2019, 06:41 PM

I usually go for whatever white dress shirt is most expensive.
Looks best with my custom wallet.

andyxxx · 9 March 2019, 07:35 PM

If you can get Eton shirts I highly recommend them.
Stylish quality that apparently iron extraordinarily easily.

i like Drakes. Made to order, but not quite fully bespoke as you still can't customize all the measurements.

If you dont need fully bespoke its a good option. I quite like them. Its a good tradeoff between off the rack and fully individualized to your body as far as cost vs getting a better fit.

While in my work years I wore mostly shirts from Jos Bank or Brooks Brothers. I always tried to buy them when on sale. Jos Bank would have sales at 3 shirts for about $100.
Now I wear Eton or custom made which provides an incredible fit.

dkg1616 · 9 March 2019, 10:44 PM

I have two propercloth shirts and they are honestly my favorite from a quality / price range. I have a couple 200+ shirts that to be frank are nothing special. Next update I do will be proper cloth

1William · 9 March 2019, 11:30 PM

Go to a decent men's shop or a higher end department store with good inventory. Try on several models and figure out your size in the store. If a model can be found that fits both your body and wallet then buy it. Give it a few weeks of wear to see if it works as well for you in real life, as the store. Send it to the cleaners a few time and see if it holds up. I would buy a classic point collar. No spread, button down or any other fashion collar. Classic two button sleeve with enough room to wear your watch under the cuff. Look online after you have it all figured out. Just my thoughts based on my experience.

Pw92676 · 10 March 2019, 12:10 AM

Brooks Brothers or Polo for me.

Madprofx · 10 March 2019, 12:27 AM

Charles Tyrwhitt for lower cost option, particularly good value when on sale.
As mentioned by a couple of others Eton are a nice option also.

I wear Eton shirts. Not the cheapest but not terribly expensive either ... a good value IMO

FrankNYC · 10 March 2019, 12:41 AM

Like many here, I prefer brooks brothers. I get the regent fit (formerly slim fit). On sale they’re 4 for $199

Swimmer0 · 10 March 2019, 12:48 AM

Eton or David Donahue...worth the investment

Keadog · 10 March 2019, 12:54 AM

I bought three shirts from Tyrtwitt. All three were poorly made with uneven sleeve lengths.
They never answered my email. I use them to work in the barn or mowing. Garbage.

I like Norsdtrom stuff when on sale. Holds up OK and the no iron just requires a touch up. Brooks Brothers OK too.

Neither will compare to tailored but they're fine for my needs.

capote · 10 March 2019, 12:54 AM

Eton works for me

Watchflair · 10 March 2019, 01:02 AM

Pretty hard to beat a Brooks Brothers non-iron in my opinion. Reasonably priced and excellent quality.

Fat_ninja · 10 March 2019, 01:02 AM

Ehatever they sell at marshalls

tudorbaja27 · 10 March 2019, 02:23 AM

Made to Measure. Camiceria Olga or Lanieri. Both can be done online.
You'll thank me. for $100/shirt - it makes a world of difference

CamSLC · 10 March 2019, 02:51 AM

David Donehue seem to fit me the best. I have tried Charles Tyrwhitt in the past and for the money was not disappointed. Heard good things about Bonobos as well.
