Hello friends,
I am rebuilding my wardrobe after a career change and could use some advice. I will be wearing dress shirts daily, often accompanied with a blazer and the occasional full suit and tie (no jeans or other such casual wear in the office), so I want to invest in some decent quality shirts. That said, I’m not at a stage in my life where I can justify or afford spending $150+ per shirt.
Two questions:
1) Thoughts on exploring the used market on places like StyleForum or eBay? I’ve purchased outerwear, trousers, etc. second hand over the years, but never shirts. Fitting on a second hard dress shirt seems like it could be difficult.
2) If I go new, any brand suggestions for under $100/shirt? The market for men’s dress shirts is overwhelmingly large and I’m having a hard time separating the wheat from the chaff.
Apologies if there have been similar threads created. Please feel free to direct me to other recent threads if you feel it appropriate.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
