13 Most Over and Underrated Dress Shirts for Men

About this video

The Gazette team reviews 13 overrated and underrated dress shirt styles and details based on their extensive personal experience with dress shirts. They discuss overrated items like pink shirts, extreme cutaway collars, non-iron treatments, visible monograms, bold prints, untucked styles, jewel tones, and short sleeves, then cover underrated options including pastel colors, bold stripes, Winchester collars, open weave fabrics, and pin collars. The team provides practical guidance on which shirt choices work best for classic menswear and how to style them effectively.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that pink shirts, extreme cutaway collars, non-iron treatments, visible monograms, bold floral prints, untucked dress shirts, jewel tones, and short-sleeved dress shirts are overrated and detract from a classical menswear approach
• The Gazette team recommends exploring underrated options like pastel-colored shirts, bold stripes, Winchester collars with contrasting details, open weave fabrics for summer comfort, and pin collar shirts to add sophistication and individuality to a wardrobe
• The Gazette team emphasizes that quality cotton dress shirts requiring ironing outperform chemically-treated non-iron alternatives, and recommends Eton’s wrinkle-resistant shirts as the only exception, though they note custom shirts offer better value
