Stores for stylish mens dress shirts in NYC

June 14, 2016 12:55 PM

I am looking to upgrade my work shirts but would also like to be a bit more fashionable. I am looking for a few smaller stores in NYC to check out. Brooklyn / off the beaten path is fine. I am pretty sure I know about all the department stores and chain stores already. I work in financial services and typically wear a suit or thin wool pants and a nice shirt.

What is your size and where do you get your shirts now?

Are you interested in custom? Better fitting shirts will likely do more for upgrading your look than more expensive off-the-rack shirts. Michael Andrews Bespoke is one option that's reliable and has been around for years (ignore how tacky their website is - their branding is an awful interpretation of wall street flashy, but they make nice clothes and the sales people are good at guiding people to the right level of fashion-y but not over the top), but there are tons of custom places now and I imagine other people will have recommendations too.
