McGregor Madden is a tailor who founded HallMadden.com, an e-commerce company that uses personal stylists to sell men better-fitting dress shirts.
Madden told us everything men need to know when making this investment.
How the shirt should fit:
The first and most important consideration is fit, Madden told us.
"A shirt should be roomy but fitted in the chest and tapered down the torso toward your waist so that the shirt doesn't mushroom over your belt," Madden told us. "If the sleeves are too long, that's ok, you can get them altered for $10-$15."
What colors are best:
Stick to the basics for a polished look.
"You can never go wrong with the basics, like white, light blues, or light pinks, no matter your skin tone or hair color," Madden said.
Pay attention to the collar:
A medium-sized spread collar (one without buttons) is "best for the first-time shirt buyer" and great for all suits and occasions, Madden told us.
