Best men's long-sleeve button-up dress shirts

Top pick: Paul Fredrick Non-Iron Cotton Solid Button Down (Navy). Non-iron cotton with a button-down collar and contrast trim — it comes out of the dryer crisp, works for the office and holds up at a wedding, and the navy hides a long day better than white.

Who the others suit:

• Brooks Brothers Non-Iron Stretch Supima — the upgrade if you want a shirt that lasts years; stretch Supima is the most comfortable of the bunch.
• Proper Cloth Non-Iron Custom — best if standard sizing never fits you right; made to your measurements.
• White Classic 100% Cotton — the plain, honest white shirt for interviews and formal events.
• Alimens & Gentle Oxford — a cheap, solid everyday oxford for casual-Friday wear.
• Dixxon Bamboo 2.0 — softest feel, best for long days; less formal than the rest.
• Robert Graham Charlton / Redicote — for when you want the shirt to be the interesting part of the outfit.
• Kimes Ranch Linville — western cut, for boots-and-jeans occasions.

Skip the slim-fit micro-stretch bargains if you want a shirt that reads as dressy.
