First 10 Mens Dress Shirts You Should Buy

About this video

The Gazette team presents their recommended foundation collection of 10 dress shirts for men building a classic wardrobe. They explain the reasoning behind each shirt choice based on versatility, timelessness, and fabric considerations, providing detailed guidance on colors, weaves, collar styles, cuffs, and other design details to maximize outfit combinations while staying within budget.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends starting with a plain white dress shirt in medium-weight plain weave with a medium spread collar and barrel cuffs as the most versatile foundational piece
• The Gazette team argues that dress shirt foundation pieces should prioritize versatility across formal and casual settings, and advises skipping shirt pockets and French cuffs on early purchases to reduce costs
• The Gazette team suggests building a balanced collection that includes solid colors (white, ivory, light blue in varying shades), patterns (stripes, checks), and specialty fabrics (Oxford cloth, soft washed denim) to maximize outfit combinations
