Men's shirts

Men’s shirts fall into two main groups: dress shirts for tailoring and more formal clothing, and casual shirts for jeans, chinos and relaxed jackets. Eton, Stenströms and Cordone 1956 cover cotton fabrics as well as linen, denim, jersey and stretch materials.

Dress shirts include twill, poplin and Oxford fabrics with spread or cutaway collars and barrel or French cuffs. Casual shirts add linen, denim, jersey, Oxford and flannel, along with more relaxed fits and button-down collars.

Start with where you plan to wear the shirt, then compare fit, collar and fabric. Smooth cotton shirts in white or light blue are the easiest choice for business and tailoring, while denim, linen, jersey and heavier textured fabrics are better suited to smart-casual and casual wear.
