Good quality but not expensive shirts? Suggestions

Phate · 17 Jun 2011 at 21:37

Hello all,

I need some new work shirts, wheres the best place to get them from online?

I'm looking for good quality that won't fall to bits but not mega prices. Best I've found so far is some Thomas Nash ones from Debenhams for about £11 a shirt.

Ta!

I have TM Lewin shirts, they're comfortable and look nice.

Everything from TM Lewin is either pink, blue, or white

Marks and Sparks do some good quality "made to measure" shirts that are spot on for work.. http://www.marksandspencer.com/Made...ie=UTF8&intid=gnav_men_made-to-measure-shirts

I've got most of mine recently from Charles Tyrwhitt. Had to go for the tailored fit range though, everything else cut in the "English" style is like wearing a tent.

That is not a bad thing for a work shirt!

I know but I prefer dark colours. I've got plenty of whites and blues, pink doesn't suit me at all. So I want more of a selection that just 3 colours

I got some of the softest shirts I have ever felt for £11 from Costco.

So long as your tie is darker than your shirt or else you risk looking like you work in a nightclub! Keep an eye on the Jermyn Street shops online and see if any have sales on (apart from the permanent sales at Lewin and Tyrwhitt obviously, though they are decent for the money).

It's not so much of an issue, as I don't wear a tie for work

but worth noting for future reference.

- Thanks!

Thomas Pink shirts are not overly expensive but are very well made and will last for longer than your typical M&S, TM Lewin etc shirts. If you think of it as a total life cost then I'd imagine they work out better than the cheaper but shorter lasting shirts.

Stick with Thomas Nash if youre happy with them. Loads of varieties, well made and affordable. Failing that TM Lewin are a small step up and I was in one of their stores last week and they had 5 for £90.

You can't go wrong with M&S.

Evoss · 18 Jun 2011 at 10:15

M&S, just brought suit, shirts and tie there yesterday.

Another vote for Charles Tyrwhitt.

I really like the Duffer St George shirts from Debenhams, the slim fit ones are good quality and are a little different to most normal shirts.
