1. Best White Shirt

    AYR The Deep End

    AYR’s Deep End is a white shirt with the good sense to be slightly oversized, slightly relaxed and still unmistakably polished. It understands that the ideal white shirt should not look like corporate compliance. The proportions let it work untucked, half-tucked or open over a tank, while the fabric keeps the whole thing from collapsing. This is the shirt for travel days, office days and the moment before dinner when everything else suddenly feels too casual.

    Frank & Eileen Eileen Relaxed Button-Up Shirt

    Frank & Eileen’s Eileen shirt has a lived-in ease that avoids both stiffness and sloppiness. The relaxed cut gives the wearer space, while the collar and placket keep the shirt properly legible. It belongs to that school of dressing where a good shirt, jeans and decent shoes count as an outfit anywhere civilized. The price asks for commitment, but the reward is a shirt that behaves like a trusted friend with better laundry habits.

    With Nothing Underneath The Boyfriend Fine Poplin Shirt

    With Nothing Underneath builds its Boyfriend shirt around the useful fiction of a borrowed garment, then corrects the proportions so it actually works. The fine organic-cotton poplin is crisp without becoming ceremonial, and the relaxed body leaves enough room to wear open over a vest, tucked into trousers or loose with denim. A white shirt earns its place by moving between settings without announcing the transition. This one has the collar and cuff required for a proper shirt, but the ease of something already familiar. It is polished, practical and especially good when the rest of the outfit needs one calm, decisive element.
