I seek the experts with a question regarding dress shirts & ties!
In surfing the posts, I have gained a relative understanding by now of what a 'high quality' dress shirt is... While I would love to drop upwards of hundreds of $ on high quality dress shirts, I am in absolutely no position to do so while I am in the early stages of law school.
Accordingly, I need shirts/ties (my 'official' dress code) for work as I clerk for an urban, relatively conservative Texas law firm.
I would need slim fit, preferably wrinkle free/non-iron, and most importantly - the shirt MUST be in the neighborhood of no more than $60.00 or so and that budget will probably remain firm for quite some time. I would, of course, be in search of traditional business colors. Where shall I turn, brand or store wise, for some luck?
I have found that my sizes (16.5 neck, 34/35 sleeve, 180lbs, broad shoulders, and 6'0" in height) are somewhat rare on the B&S forums and I have long since grown out of my Express, A&F, American Eagle, etc. phase. Macys does very little for me - unless I am completely missing something they have to offer
.?
Also, ideas for a brand or selection of acceptable ties that fit my budget would be a huge plus. If it helps, I am very near a major metro city so access shouldn't be a problem and I consider myself a fairly conservative dresser, despite my relatively young age.
Thanks in advance guys as I am more or less lost right about now!
