How does the slim fit compare with a regular Oxford?

It is cut closer through the chest and waist than a standard Oxford. If you are between sizes or prefer room, go up one size.

Does the stretch make it less formal?

No. The stretch is in the cotton weave, so it still reads as a classic Oxford. It just moves more comfortably.

Can it be worn with a tie?

Yes. The button-down collar works with a tie, though it is more casual than a spread-collar dress shirt.

How should I care for it?

Machine wash cold and hang or tumble low. Expect to iron it, since the cotton wrinkles.

It runs slightly small. Buyers often suggest sizing up, especially if you have a broader chest or shoulders.

Our take on the Original Penguin Oxford Button Down Shirt

A classic long-sleeve Oxford shirt in 100% cotton with a touch of stretch, cut slim through the chest and waist. It has a button-down collar and buttoned cuffs, so it works under a jacket at the office or open-collared on a night out. The stretch cotton makes it more comfortable than stiff traditional Oxfords, though the slim cut runs close and shoppers with a broader build should size up. Reviewers rate it highly for fit and fabric feel, and it holds up well against plain department-store Oxfords on comfort.
