Alfani RED Dress Shirt: Solid Blue – $24.99
| Blue Stripe $45.00
Who knows why it took them this long, but the Alfani RED Designers sure were dragging their feet on getting traditional light blue dress shirts into Macys. For awhile there you couldn’t find anything but the tremendous tonal white stripe, and a bunch of too-saturated dark blues and blacks. But that recently changed, and you now have not one but two light blue options.
A trim fit solid light blue dress shirt is a must. So is a close thin stripe
. Along with the solid non-tonal stripe white oxford
that just came out, with these two additions the Alfani RED Shirt lineup is almost complete. All they need now is a wider spaced navy thin pencil stripe on a bright white background. (Hint hint Macy’s…)
The collars are the perfect semi spread, the body is much tighter than other “fitted” dress shirt styles, and the tail is good and long for tucking, but not outrageous in length. The one complaint some have about these shirts is that the pocket for some rests a little too low. I’m always wearing a jacket of some sort so I’ve honestly not noticed. They’re a dress shirt so they’re perfect with a suit, but they’re also so comfortable that you’ll find yourself wearing them under sweaters come winter.
Regular price is $45.00 but they go on sale all the time
I’m more happy about the non-tonal white. FINALLY. The blues are definitely nice too, though.
So I ordered a few of these Alfani RED shirts, which got here yesterday. They do fit pretty well! And the pocket seems to be at a normal height, despite what a couple others have said. I was going to suggest the IZOD Slim Fit dress shirt — which was the last shirt I bought, at the local Belk. It has a similar fit; the collar is more spread, though, and the fabric is twill, so a little heavier. But there don’t seem to be many of those left online; this is what I could find.
Weird! I mean I only tried on one of them in the store. Perhaps it had a defect or something, because the pocket seemed way too low, almost at like the bottom of my rib cage lol. The rest of the shirt fit great, though.
I’ll have to make a trip to the local Macy’s, because I like the idea of getting a blue one and a non-tonal striped.
