10 Golden Rules To Buying The Perfect Dress Shirt

About this video

Centeno teaches ten foundational rules for selecting and wearing quality dress shirts, covering construction quality, fit specifications, collar types, cuff styles, formality levels, and purchasing options from off-the-rack to bespoke. He emphasizes how proper fit and attention to details like stitching density, collar support, and fabric choice impact overall appearance and garment longevity.

Key takeaways

• Centeno recommends looking for 14 stitches per inch as an indicator of quality construction and durability in dress shirts
• Centeno argues that proper fit across shoulders, torso, length, and sleeves is critical, with specific measurements he provides for each area
• Centeno distinguishes dress shirts from casual button-downs by their ability to pair with formal suits and their classic, conservative features
• Centeno explains the formality hierarchy of cuff types (French cuffs most formal, followed by double button barrel cuffs, then single button) and collar styles (stripes more formal than checks, lighter colors more formal than darker)
• Centeno outlines purchasing options—off-the-rack, made-to-measure, and bespoke—with guidance on when each makes sense based on budget and fit needs
