A button-up has undeniable utility: It’s the rare shirt that looks just as great at the office or for special occasions as it does thrown on, perfectly oversized and slouchy. Over the last five years, we’ve tested over 50 button-up shirts, rigorously evaluating their style, fit, quality, and value. Seven winners emerged, including a luxury-logo classic, a relatively cheap slim-cut option, and a splurge-worthy button-down with special details.
