WHAT CONSTITUTES a dress shirt might have changed over the years, but the sartorial magnetism of men’s dress shirts has remained undeniable and immutable. This wardrobe staple’s X-factor will put an A-list smile on a man’s face whenever he wears it, solo or under a sleek blazer. And if you’re looking to strut on a red carpet or just in your office to command awe or respect, having on a dress shirt is absolutely necessary.
But finding the best dress shirt for you can be tricky. As one of the most versatile menswear pieces to keep on regular rotation, men’s dress shirts can be as basic as as just any long-sleeve collared shirt with full buttons in the front, in any color or pattern variations. However, like pretty much everything else we wear these days, dress shirts for men too have incorporated the latest technical fabric innovations—like stretch or thermal feats—that render them all the more durable and comfortable.
That is to say: the best dress shirts for men nowadays have been freed from the shackle of only being donned for formal or dressy occasions to becoming actual practical pieces of clothing that can—and do—work wonders in more casual settings.
So, whether you face a daily office situation wherein sporting formal button-down shirts are not up for debate, or you just need to hit refresh on your shirting game with perhaps some white dress shirts or easy going denim shirts, these 18 best dress shirts for men below will do you a good turn.
