Non-Iron Cotton Herringbone Button Down Collar Dress Shirt - White vs Paul Fredrick Non-Iron Cotton Pinpoint Dress Shirt

Buy the herringbone long-sleeve shirt if you want a dress shirt for the office, cooler weather or a jacket and tie; its herringbone texture and full-bodied button-down collar read dressier, and owners rate it higher on average. Buy the pinpoint short-sleeve if you run hot, work in a warm office or want a trim fit, since it comes in trim and standard fits and a longer length. Both are non-iron 2-ply cotton with break-resistant buttons, split yokes and a single rounded pocket, so build is close; the herringbone's known weak spot is a boxy midsection on some sizes, and the pinpoint's is occasional wrong-collar shipping.

• Choose the herringbone long-sleeve if you need a year-round dress shirt that looks sharper under a jacket and you want the higher-rated, more textured option.
• Choose the pinpoint short-sleeve if you want a cooler shirt for warm weather, a trim fit or extra length, and you can accept a plainer solid weave.
