Step 1
Buy all-cotton, which breathes and offers the greatest comfort. Look for cottons that have been treated to resist wrinkles.
-
Step 2
Examine the collar. Though styles differ, every collar should be aligned, lay flat and fit snugly but comfortably around the neck. The best shirts have removable stays, which hold the collar's points and keep them in place. Never wear a button-down collar with a suit; instead opt for a spread collar.
-
Step 3
Inspect the shirt's stitching. A higher-quality shirt has singleneedle stitching and 22 stitches per inch, and cross-stitched buttons for durability. The design on any patterned shirt should meet perfectly at the seams.
-
Step 4
Select a cut to accommodate your build. Dress shirts come in either a fitted cut or a standard cut, which is looser.

on 12/13/2008 In fact you should be careful about dress shirts that have been treated to resist wrinkles some of them contain formaldehyde.. a cancer causing chemical.

on 6/4/2008 This article is a very basic introduction. Buying a quality men’s shirt starts with a man understanding the style which best compliments his individual characteristics. A shirt that looks amazing on one man will look average on another due to factors such as difference in facial shape, size, and complexion. A great source of information on classic men’s style can be found at www.atailoredsuit.com Check out their style guide and the articles on shirts, collars, and cuffs. Once you have a solid foundation in men’s classic style, you will find the rewards of sartorial excellence well worth the hours invested.
