Paul Fredrick Non-Iron Cotton Pinpoint Dress Shirt vs Charles Tyrwhitt Non-Iron Twill Dress Shirt

The Paul Fredrick shirt is the better pick for warm weather and for anyone who wants a button-down collar with a structured roll; it is short sleeve, non-iron 2-ply pinpoint cotton, and owners say it holds its press through the wash. The Charles Tyrwhitt is a long-sleeve non-iron twill in a slim fit, so it suits cooler months, office dress codes and slimmer builds. Both are 100% cotton and non-iron; the real split is sleeve length, collar style and fit range, not build quality.

• Choose the Paul Fredrick pinpoint if you want a short-sleeve button-down that stays crisp without ironing and comes in both trim and standard fits.
• Choose the Charles Tyrwhitt twill if you need a long-sleeve slim-fit shirt for office wear and prefer a plain point collar over a button-down.
