Hi,guys, I'd like to find some cozy and stylish clothes for my bf, he is 180cm, medium size, likes something simple and comfortable! What do you guys usually wear, for the moment we like barba shirt and polo custom fit, anything else?
Thank you for your reply!!!

Well, do you want to buy him something specific as the gift, or do you want the gift to be something that you can pick out together?

At the moment I just want to buy him a quality shirt or something alike, but not too formal, we are still students.

A light blue spread collar, barrel cuff slim fit non-iron shirt from Brooks Brothers. Can't go wrong.

A made to measure shirt, providing you can figure out a way to get his measurements without him noticing

Easy!
Figure out which shirt looks best on him then grab it when it goes into the hamper and measure that.

Thank you for your replies, but could you name a brand, then it will be easier for me to pick one!

Simple, take measurements of his best fitting shirt, take a note on the collar size, then go to a department store with measuring tape in hand and pick out something that looks nice.

Or take his best fitting shirt, note the brand, and buy the same but maybe different color or pattern.
