The Best Dress Shirts For Men, According To Stylists And Our Editors
Every guy needs a few good dress shirts to round out his foundational wardrobe. They work in a variety of scenarios to add personal style and elevate your entire look. We rounded up the best dress shirts for men—they're made of high-quality, breathable fabrics and they offer a tailored, comfortable fit. Our top pick overall is the Bonobos Everyday Oxford, which is made of 100% cotton with built-in stretch that works for any build. Another great option is the Mizzen+Main Leeward Dress Shirt, a lightweight, stretchy style with odor-fighting features. The best men's dress shirts come in high quality fabrics, they're impeccably tailored and they're ... More available in a variety of fits. Finding the best men's dress shirt comes down to proper fit, fabric and quality. I spoke with two professional stylists—Natalie Tincher, founder and principal stylist at BU Style and Ben Twaits, lead male stylist at Wardrobe Therapy—to ask for their top picks for a variety of body types and work-life situations. I also consulted our in-house style expert, deputy editor Kari Molvar, for additional insights. Below, find the 12 best dress shirts for men that we highly recommend. Bonobos Sizes: XS to XXL | Fits: Tailored, slim, standard, athletic | Fabric: 100% cotton | Colors: 16 total, including Navy and Darkest Charcoal Bonobos really understands what guys want for modern workwear, and this comfy stretch-fabric shirt is great with or without a blazer. It comes in four fits as well as a wide range of hues, textures and subtle patterns. 'The brand carries shirts for slim, tailored, athletic and standard builds and are more size-inclusive than many brands," says Tincher. "It's a great place to go for a different builds,' says Tincher. Also great: The Everyday Oxford is available in three lengths, so you can ensure the hem of your shirt hits the right place on your body, whether you're tucking it in your waistband or wearing it untucked. Charles Tyrwhitt Neck sizes: 14.5 to 20 inches | Fits: Classic, slim | Sleeve sizes: 32 inches to 38 inches | Fabric: 100% cotton | Colors: 9 total, including White and Aqua UK-based menswear brand Charles Tyrwhitt offers contemporary styles that are easy to wear right off the rack. Its Clifton weave cotton shirt features a distinct finish that allows you to skip the iron before heading out the door. The shirt is available in classic, slim and extra-slim fits, and for an extra fee, you can customize the sleeve length or add a left pocket. One shopper says this shirt is 'great quality and the fit is perfect,' while another writes, 'the weave of material is unmatched by any US retail store I have experienced.' However, a few note that the classic fit version of the shirts can run a bit large. Tie Bar Neck sizes: 14.5 to 18.5 | Sleeve lengths: 32 to 37 | Fits: Standard, trim | Fabric: 100% cotton | Colors: 4 total, including White and Light Blue If you don't have time for ironing or steaming, Tie Bar's Pinpoint dress shirt is specially treated with a non-iron finish to remain almost wrinkle-free, even after washing and putting it in the dryer. The point collar is sharp and stylish, making this a good pick for dressing up for a wedding or the weekend. If you buy three, you pay just $50 each. Reviewers praise this shirt's overall fit and material. One customer writes, 'This shirt is an incredible value for the price,' while another adds, 'I wore it on a date and it stayed crisp and stylish all day.' Some shoppers note the sizing can be tricky, though. Banana Republic Sizes: XS to XXL| Fits: Regular, tall | Fabric: 100% cotton | Colors: 2 total, including Country Blue and White Banana Republic's well-made button downs are available at a wallet-friendly price, which is all the more reason to stock up on multiple shades. 'Banana Republic provides a great shirt for under $100,' says Twaits. 'The brand does sizing by letter instead of neck and sleeve length, and it also offers tall sizes.' The poplin fabric is smooth and opaque, giving you the go-ahead to wear it on its own as well as underneath a jacket. Just keep in mind that this shirt's fabric can be prone to wrinkling, so it'll take a little extra effort to keep it looking polished. Rhone Sizes: XS to XXL | Fits: Slim, classic | Fabric: Polyamide and elastane | Colors: 24 total, including Bright White and Business Blue Designed to be ultra-breathable and stretchy without losing its shape, Rhone's top-rated Commuter Shirt is easy to wear all day. It comes in both slim and classic fits, and the fabric's give makes this a good choice for athletic builds. It has a button front with a hidden button collar for a streamlined look, and it's finished with a wrinkle-release fabrication to keep things low-maintenance. One reviewer writes, 'the fabric is soft yet sturdy, breathable yet polished—it's like wearing a finely tailored cloud,' while another says, 'it's the ultimate multitasker, perfect for commuting to work, jumping into a meeting, or grabbing a drink afterward.' However, some customers say the collar lacks structure, so it's not ideal for wearing with a tie or underneath a blazer. Amazon Sizes: S to XXL | Fits: Trim, classic | Fabric: 88% polyester, 12% spandex | Colors: 25 total, including Light Blue and Black Mizzen+Main's dress shirt is almost like a low-maintenance workout shirt. This pick doesn't need to be dry cleaned and it's also moisture-wicking. 'It looks and feels like a regular dress shirt [at first glance], but once you put it on, it stretches and moves with you like a knit,' says Tincher. 'It's great for packing or if you have to go right from a plane to a meeting.' It comes in a variety of classic solids and casual patterns, as well as tall sizes. Another bonus: The shirt's stretchy performance fabric is odor-resistant, so you'll feel fresh all day. Since this shirt is thinner than a traditional cotton style, it's particularly well-suited for layering underneath a blazer. Lululemon Sizes: XS to 3XL | Fits: Standard | Fabric: 52% elastomultiester, 34% recycled polyester, 14% nylon | Colors: 8 total, including True Navy and Black Athleisure brand Lululemon has perfected the art of stretchy, comfortable clothing that still manages to look sophisticated. This extends to dress shirts, including the Venture style, which is designed to move with your body. You'll also find that this shirt holds up in hot weather; the sweat-wicking fabric is treated with zinc, which prohibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Reviewers particularly note the fabric is soft and comfortable. 'This line of shirts has become my go to for business casual events,' says one Lululemon shopper. However, some comment that the sleeves are too short on them. Faherty Brand Sizes: XS to XXL | Fits: Standard, long | Fabric: 55% Supima cotton, 16% lyocell, 25% recycled nylon, 4% spandex | Colors: 26 total, including Cloud White and Atlantic Sky Founded by twin brothers Alex and Mike Faherty in 2013, Faherty is a self-described family brand focused on 'great quality, legendary comfort and good vibes.' In under a decade, the brand has become a button-down favorite, and this shirt scores major points for being comfortable and wrinkle-resistant. Tincher is a fan of Faherty for laidback settings. 'For weekend shirts or for creative types in more casual work environments, Faherty has great options that you can wear untucked with the sleeves rolled up,' she says. Simply add a pair of chinos and you have an easygoing look that's perfect for weekend outings and summer Fridays. Everlane Sizes: XS to XXL | Fits: Standard, tall | Fabric: 100% organic cotton | Colors: 8 total, including Sage Green and Slate Grey Everlane's bestseller is a casual spin on your traditional Oxford due to its more relaxed fit. Cut from 100% organic cotton, it has a roomy design so it can be worn untucked or tucked in. It comes with a 365-day guarantee, meaning if this shirt gets a hole or the color fades within a year, Everlane will replace it for free. Many reviewers are pleased with this shirt's fabric and say it's an upgrade from the brand's previous versions. 'This shirt is silky soft and fits perfectly,' writes one Everlane customer. Shoppers also describe it as 'versatile' and say it 'wears well in a variety of situations.' Some note, however, that sizing is inconsistent between colors. Todd Snyder Sizes: 14.5 to 18 | Fits: Standard | Fabric: 100% cotton | Colors: 5 total, including White and Lavender Cut from Italian cotton, Todd Snyder's collaboration with Thomas Mason has all the hallmarks of a classic design: It has a spread collar (named for the angle and distance of the collar's 'points'), pearly white buttons and end-on-end alternation of light and dark warp and weft threads. The crisp white color stays true after multiple launderings and looks great with almost anything you pair it with. A majority of customers say they love this shirt and that the 'fit and fabric feel great.' However, one reviewer felt that the material was a bit transparent. Suit Supply Sizes: 14.5 to 17.5 | Fits: Regular | Fabric: 100% cotton | Colors: White Suit Supply specializes in custom-made suiting. Like all its dress shirts, the Oxford style can be personalized online—choose your collar type and height and interlining. You can do alterations in-store if necessary, and all items ship for free to your doorstep. With its heat-sealed buttons and detailed stitching, this shirt is the next best thing to made-to-measure. 'I appreciate the ability to customize this shirt to your liking," says Molvar. 'You can pick the overall silhouette (formal, casual, button down), collar width, button and cuff type, monogramming details and whether you want a placket at the back or not.' Just keep in mind that the shirts do take two to three weeks to arrive, given that they're semi-made to order. Eton Sizes: 14.5 to 17.5 | Fits: Super slim, slim, contemporary, classic | Fabric: 100% cotton | Colors: 7 total, including Blue and White This polished style offers high-impact solids in luxe fabrics with flawless lines. It comes in four different cuts—super slim, slim, contemporary and classic. Tincher recommends Eton's shirts for slender builds and for those with a slim and inverted triangle shape. The Eton brand is also a favorite for Twaits, who praises the shirts' fit and fabric. Multiple customers note that this shirt's quality is apparent right out of the box. 'The decidedly shiny signature twill makes this shirt look better than any white shirt I've ever worn,' says one Eton customer. At Forbes Vetted, we take menswear shopping seriously; you can find a vast array of fashion stories for men across our website, from the best polo shirts to the most comfortable dress shoes. To assemble this roundup, we took several elements into account. Here's our criteria for the best dress shirts for men: When it comes to shopping for men's dress shirts, there are a few key factors you'll want to consider to streamline your search, including: 'First and foremost, consider body shape and fit when shopping for dress shirts,' says Ben Twaits, lead male stylist at Wardrobe Therapy. 'If you have a rectangle or V-shaped silhouette, look for brands with slim or trim fit shirts. If you are more oval-shaped, look for brands that have a classic fit.' One particular feature to look for, according to Twaits, is darting on the back of a shirt. 'This will make the waist of the shirt slimmer and sometimes allow for a broader shoulder,' he says. Another factor to pay attention to is neck size. 'If you're buttoning the top button, you need to be able to fit about two fingers between the collar and your neck,' says Natalie Tincher, founder and principal stylist at BU Style. If there's a lot more room, then it's too big and it will throw off the look. If it's less, you'll likely feel suffocated. Also, when accounting for fit, remember that the size of the shirt may change with time. 'Keep in mind that even if it says a shirt is preshrunk, shirts tend to shrink a bit more after about 10 washes or trips to the dry cleaner,' Tincher says. Overall, know that even if you find a great shirt for your body type, you may still need to consider alterations to get the best fit. 'It should be easy to tailor the torso to be made slimmer and to shorten sleeves,' Tincher says. While it really comes down to personal preference, the best men's dress shirts are 100% cotton rather than a cotton/poly blend, which makes them more breathable and comfortable. You will most often see men's dress shirts in broadcloth (which is very similar to poplin), Oxford, pinpoint and twill fabrics; here's a breakdown on each: Some men's dress shirts may have stretch, like those from Bonobos or Mizzen+Main, which makes them popular with guys looking for additional comfort. Other men's dress shirts may have non-iron finishes, like our pick from Tie Bar. A non-iron finish makes shirts easier to care for and they tend to look nicer after a long day or night. Just be aware that the smoothness factor may be fleeting. 'A lot of people like no-iron fabrics, but that's just a finishing on the fabric,' says Tincher. 'Over time, the non-iron finish on the shirt will wear off.' While every brand we've featured on this list earned high marks for quality and style, one stood above the rest, and that's Bonobos. Its Everyday Oxford is versatile, comfortable and available in multiple fits and lengths. With a less than $100 price tag, it also won't break the bank. However, the best dress shirt for you ultimately comes down to your individual needs. In general, once you find a shirt that works well for you, experts recommend purchasing multiple colors or patterns. When it comes to dress shirts, signs of quality include 100% cotton fabric, fine stitching and a stiff collar. While some brands may give you sticker shock, the fabric and construction is likely superior, which means you'll wear the shirt more often and it will last longer. It can be tempting to go cheap on dress shirts if you're not wearing them all the time, but don't skimp too much. 'Ask yourself, are the seams and stitching around the cuffs or buttons already pulling or wearing?' says Natalie Tincher, founder and principal stylist at BU Style. 'That's a bad sign.' Similarly, if a shirt's material feels thin or see-through, you may want to pass. While many dress shirts are designed to be worn with two-piece suits, there are a few details in particular that lend themselves to a more formal look. Specifically, tailored dress shirts made of a finer weave fabric, like Oxford or pinpoint cotton, are good choices since they fit close to the body. We also recommend choosing a shirt with a pointed or spread collar, rather than a button-down collar. The Eton Signature Twill Shirt is ideal for wearing under a blazer, thanks to its sharp pointed collar and luxe fabric that remains wrinkle-free over the course of the day.

Terre Haute Children's Museum hosts ‘Blast off to International Space Station' event
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Busy weekend for space lovers, as the Terre Haute Children's Museum held the first ever 'Blast Off to the International Space Station' event on Saturday. Terre Haute Children's Museum officials say the local museum was one of three chosen across the entire country to host and participate in the event. The event connected children with how astronauts prepare and aboard the International Space Station. Those who participated could try a spacewalk, test satellite designs, and even learn what materials to use for spacecrafts and spacesuits. 'I think this makes a bigger impact than just reading about it or seeing it on TV,' said Laurel Tincher, Terre Haute Children's Museum Program Manager. 'We're able to talk to them about the reasoning behind it. We also have material testing going on, about why you would select something to build a space vehicle out of, so to show a little engineering.' Tincher also mentioned many families were lined up at the door on Saturday waiting for the event to open. Hundreds of people took advantage of the opportunity to get hands-on experience. The next space event at the Terre Haute Children's Museum will be in October, where roughly 30 kids from across the area will have the opportunity to speak with astronauts on the International Space Station.

Feds arrest immigrant in New Lebanon, say he's wanted in El Salvador homicide
Mar. 13—Federal immigration agents recently arrested a man in New Lebanon on charges that he is in the United States illegally and faces a homicide charge in El Salvador. Jose Antonio Alvarenga, who was living in the 200 block of Perry Street, was arrested in New Lebanon on March 3, according to federal court records. Ryan Tincher, a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agent under Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in an affidavit that Alvarenga violated Title 8, Section 1326(a) of U.S. Code regarding illegal aliens found in the U.S. after deportation. Tincher's affidavit, filed in U.S. District Court for Southern Ohio, says that HSI agents in Cincinnati learned from a Border Patrol intelligence agent on Feb. 26 that despite an August 2012 deportation, Alvarenga was living at the Perry Street address in New Lebanon with his wife, April Alvarenga. Alvarenga was the subject of an Interpol "Red Notice" indicating that he is a fugitive from El Salvador for the crime of homicide, according to the affidavit. The attorneys listed for Alvarenga in the court filing did not comment Thursday when reached by the Dayton Daily News. Federal agents said they watched the Perry Street house on Feb. 26, confirming Alvarenga's presence, and spoke with New Lebanon police about a Dec. 12 call for service at the house, during which police said Alvarenga was present. Tincher said he confirmed via Homeland Security databases that Alvarenga had not lawfully re-entered the U.S. since his 2012 deportation, leading to the March 3 arrest. U.S. Magistrate Judge Caroline Gentry ruled that detention was warranted pending trial, after Alvarenga, through his attorney, waived the detention hearing in open court. Court records show Alvarenga waived his preliminary hearing and was bound over to the grand jury and remanded to a U.S. Marshal on March 6. The case was unsealed March 10, the most recent action on the docket.

Terre Haute Children's Museum giving kids opportunity to chat with astronauts
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — As kids, many of us wanted to become astronauts, and now some local students are getting a close encounter with people who are out of our world. After months of planning and a rigorous application process, the Terre Haute Children's Museum has been selected as one of three organizations to participate in the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station program. Laurel Tincher, Program Manager at the Terre Haute Children's Museum, said this program will allow children to speak with astronauts that are floating above us right now. 'I was reading through a newsletter from NASA and it talked about this ARISS program that had to be between an organization and an amateur radio group', Tincher said. 'I asked them if they would be interested, and they were on board and now here we are.' That amateur radio group is the Wabash Valley Amateur Radio Association, who will be responsible for using an antenna, on the top of Candlewood Suites in Terre Haute. Vice President of the club, Todd Emmert, said they will create a radio signal from the space station to the children's museum. 'It's actually going to track it across the horizon, so we have good point of sight and good connectivity', Emmert said. 'That will come down through about 200 feet of coax, down into the activities room up on the third floor, where the station will be live. That's where our students will be able to talk live to the astronaut.' The process will not only be a challenge for the museum, but also the kids. Katie Miller, Director of Gibson Allen Memorial Planetarium, said they will go through four to six months of educational training on the topic of space. 'My astronomy classes are learning about the International Space Station', Miller said. 'We're doing activities relating to the International Space Station and we also have some film that we're showing as part of our spring and summer programming in the planetarium. Public outreach as well. A lot of things we're doing to get the word out there that we're contacting the space station.' Any child in the Wabash Valley can apply to be a part of the event, however only a select few will get the chance. 'Today, we worked with homeschool kids on some things about space and such so they are eligible to put in a question', Tincher. 'We have a QR code that will take them to a form where they can put their question in and then we will have a panel that will select the final 20 questions. We're looking for questions that are unique, that haven't been asked before, that have a little bit of heart to them. Then those children will be invited in to actually speak with astronauts.' The Terre Haute Children's Museum will only have around a ten-minute window to be in contact with the International Space Station. 'We will be getting our window narrowed down very shortly', Tincher said. 'Right now, all we know, is it will be sometime between July and December.' The Terre Haute Children's Museum will host 'Blast Off to the International Space Station' on Saturday, April 5th, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. That event will be centered around education on space and astronauts. It is free for members and included in daily admission. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
