The Best White Shirt

October 7, 2015

Who makes a good white oxford shirt? Ideally something that can be dressed up or worn untucked. I'm an athletic guy and a lot of the shirts I've seen are billowy.

It's the quintessential American shirt—a staple that should be in every man's closet. But when it comes to plain white oxford cloth button-downs, they can all seem a like. The real differences comes down to fit and finish. Here are four we swear by:

Givons Modern Oxford, $58

A lesser-known brand, but constructed from a smooth, mid-weight cotton oxford cloth and finished with high quality buttons.

Uniqlo's Slim-Fit Oxford, $29.90

For the price, you can't really beat Uniqlo's take on a classic. It's got a tailored fit and is made from a soft, lightweight fabric.

Brooks Brothers Oxford, $69.50

The OG oxford from the brand that invented it. This one is made from American Supima cotton with more modern proportions and fit.

Hugh & Crye's Oxford, $75.00

This sleeker style, made from washed Egyptian cotton, you can choose a dozen fit options for a more comfortable, custom fit.

FYI

Don't dry clean your oxfords. Wash them yourself with your regular laundry. If you want them wrinkle-free for work, take them out of the dryer just before they're fully dry and hang them up.
