What should you look for in the best men’s dress shirts? Quality, for one thing. Dashing good looks, for another. And price, of course. While we here at GQ have been known to champion the occasional $600 dress shirt fashioned in a centuries-old Parisian atelier, we’re also fans of the other kind of dress shirt: the standby, everyday shirts that help you smarten up without breaking the bank. We’re talking that soft poplin button-up you like to layer under a Barbour on weekends or the crisp gingham number you can rock with a blazer and silk knit tie to your niece’s bat-mitzvah.
Whether you’re a button-down collar, spread collar, or point collar type of guy, we’ve got you covered. (And these days, they don’t need the full French cuff treatment to make you feel like you’re ready to conquer whatever hellish challenges the work day throws at you.) And yeah, maybe it’s been a while since you’ve had to actually wear a shirt with buttons, and you can’t seem to wrap your head around getting back in the saddle (read: the office). Don’t worry—dress shirts haven’t changed much since 2020.
Below, you’ll find 19 of the best men’s dress shirts worth buying in bulk, each and every one of them clocking in under $75. (Bonus points if you nab one on sale!) If you’re looking to re-up on a few reliable nine-to-five workhorses, all while saving some cash in the process, here’s where to start.
Heading back to work in an office with a slightly less, uh, constrictive dress code (or just looking to level up the plain jane tee and shorts you live in all summer)? We’ve got opinions—oh, have we got opinions—on the best casual shirts for those situations, too.
