As the title suggests, I wanted to gauge which brand of shirt you think is the best. Starting my IB stint soon and want to upgrade my closet.

for CT the collars do not stay straight. Gives the shirts a weird look
if you're referring to the cutaway collar, i completely agree
H&C shirts are overpriced, best bet is Charles Tyrwhitt. The royal oxford non-iron extra slim shirt is by far the best, plus with multibuy and frequent sales, I always recommend CT. Only thing to watch out for is their shirts can be loose/baggy, even the slim fit is very accommodating. If you want a true, tailored fit, extra slim is the way to go.
Thanks this is super helpful. Do you have any view on TM Lewin?
I'm a big loyal TM Lewin fan, but given the variety and how cheap CT can be (on discount, which is often), i barely get shirts from TM Lewin. HOWEVER, i really think tm lewin suits are underrated. Keep out for Black Friday/Xmas sales, they do 40-50% off on suits around then. Also a big factor is that since COVID, TM Lewin went fully online and closed all of their stores (Charles Tyrwhitt were thinking of acquiring them) - so when ordering off TM, you have to be fully aware of your size.
also if you do not need to wear a tie you can go with a much smaller collar size than you usually would to get a better slim fit. good thing about CT is that they offer many different sizes and sleeve lengths
Also curious why you recommend the Royal Oxford instead of other styles. Is it the collar length or something else?
Many thx! Which type of collar would you recommend?
I've always preferred Harvie & Hudson. Unfortunately once you go Turnbull & Asser it's hard to go for much else. Get one for those important days.
