What's your go-to button down shirt for office wear?

I don't wear a suit to work (2x a month or so), but normally wear khakis or slacks and a button down, sometimes a polo in the summer.

I really like GAP slim fit button downs, because they aren't baggy and I don't look like a soup sandwich. Anyone have any reasonably priced shirts they recommend?

I have some Jos A Bank Button downs that are pretty nice for what I use them for. Wrinkle free FWIW.

Also have Polo and Brooks Brothers button downs. No difference from the Jos A Bank.

Glad to hear they are decent. I really don't want to shell out $90 per shirt.

My vote. Best combination of premium look and quality fit. Plus, they look awesome straight out of the dryer, no dry clean or iron needed.

Once I tried these, it made Brooks Brothers of thing of the past. Unless you really care about logos.

and if you go to the outlet you can typically get a good button down for $30-$45

I've got some from Land's End and they are good. Brooks Brothers and a few from Jos A Bank but they haven't lasted as long as the others.

I'm overweight and the slim fit fits perfectly. That's all I got

Brooks Brothers non iron dress shirts


Only buy when there's a great sale. I just can't justify the price for their shirts vs. others.

Most of mine are Brooks Brothers but i do have a few JCrew and Turnbull & Asser shirts (but you'd have to go to London for those)
