(Part II in an ongoing series. For Part I Click Here)
Gap calls this oxford their “Perfect” shirt and although it does have a lot going for it, the Dappered.com search for the Perfect Dress Shirt won’t stop here. Allow us to break it down:
- Good fit. Not too bulky.
- Great, solid, firm semi-spread collar
- Available everywhere in different colors
- Collar, cuffs, and placket are reinforced giving them bright vivid color
- Goes on sale all the time.
Cons
- Still would need some tailoring if you intend to wear with a tie
- Sleeves could be a touch longer
- No exact sizing. Just S, M, L, XL, etc…
- Feels a bit more casual than formal. Better under a sweater than w/ a suit
This shirt is just like the store it comes from. Dependable, stylish, and a good foundation for your wardrobe. Is it going to end up being your favorite oxford you put on whenever you’re headed to a big event? Probably not. Is it an above average, serviceable, and affordable shirt you can buy and use day in and day out in multiple ways? Absolutely.
