The Dress Shirt Saga
As our wardrobes adapt to new trends and changing waistlines, our closets become our very own surplus stores. The hangers tell the tales of former jobs, dates gone wrong, or Friday nights when Shawshank was at “the good part” and you never made it out the door. One unfortunate story seems to be shared by all: bad dress shirts.
Patterns that don’t quite work. Suboptimal second buttons. Whatever happens under the arms after too many rotations. Don’t feel guilty if you own one of these problem shirts. It’s not user error; it just happens. Armed with a little knowledge about dressing for your body, it’s also fixable.
Whether you’re not sure how to get the perfect tuck or are on an endless quest to find a not-too-boxy, not-too-tight dress shirt, don’t give up. If it doesn’t feel right or fit right, move on. Just like your favorite tattered sweatshirt, there is a perfect dress shirt out there, regardless of if your torso is sponsored by salads or Philly cheesesteaks. It starts with knowing where to go and seeing them on your body.
Here are some of the best fitting brands of dress shirts we’ve found. Now tell us: “What’s your best fitting dress shirt?”
