Hey all, first post here.
I am not particularly a style conscious person, nor do I wear expensive clothing. However, when it comes to dress shirts, I know what I am looking for and I am constantly having a hard time finding it. I've wasted so much money lately buying shirts that I thought fit me well but ended up realizing they are always too big after a day of wearing. I must be a particularly small and/or out of proportion person as slim fit shirts typically still look very big on me and make me look like I'm drowning in material. My neck size is 15" or 15.5" if I am gonna be buttoning it up but my body should probably have the neck of a 14.5" or so. I'm around 5' 11" 150lbs.
My job now requires me to wear business casual every day and I so I've been looking to purchase a bunch of shirts. It seems like "extreme" or "extra" slim/trim fit shirts are the only ones that look "slim" on me. I recently bought a trim-fit Nordstrom shirt from Nordstorm rack and it fits me well. I also picked up a Calibrate extra trim fit shirt for less than $20 and it fits me very nice and snug.
So in short I am looking of recommendations on where to get actual slim-fit (or even extra slim-fit) shirts with button-down collars? I'm kinda really partial to button-down collars now because I really like the stiff collar look and not that flaccid wide open look. I also really want the shirt to be 100% cotton, MAYBE a tiny bit of stretch material if it is a really snug shirt. I really don't want to spend more than maybe $50 a shirt but I will go a bit higher for a high quality shirt that fits me well once and for all.
Thanks!
