Dress shirt advice

[Kuya]

Basically, i'm trying to find dress shirts that fit. I have checked Banana Repub but while their shirts do look nice (and expensive), it was not as fitted as i would have liked. I once bought a dress shirt in Gap but it was unsatisfactory. I haven't tried out Zara, which has a tendency to have smaller size clothes, but i don't know if that includes dress shirts, since i only bought pants there. I had one had me down dress shirt which is my favorite that was bought in Banana Republic but i have never seen a shirt that fits like that there.

In other words my problem is when you tuck the shirt in, some of it puffs out, and i'd like more tighter fitting dress shirts because they seem to do this less.

I'll see if i can find some pictures to better convey what i'm aiming for. Thanks in advance!

Only ones I can get that fit me decent are the 1MX fitted from Express. Not the "Modern fit", but the fitted.

Damn tyche beat me to it, I was just about to say that. Either that or use shirt stays and save the money of buying a new shirt

Joseph A Banks makes a really nice Tailored Fit collection of dress shirts, I have somewhat narrow shoulders and they really fit me perfectly.

Loving the quick suggestions, but i would like to add that if you also happen to know a place that delivers outside the US, i would really appreciate it. I am planning to go to NY so i might be able to shop there, but it's not a sure thing.

edit: unfortunately for me, Plaza of the Americas is not NY

Express for 1MX fitted shirts. Other than that... buy stuff and make friends with a tailor. I do both

express 1mx like the skinny b itches said. if they wont ship to you, get them delivered to someone in the states and have them shipped from there.

[Atreides]

you definitely don't want to go to brooks brothers, btw. You're a narrow shouldered dude and their shirts are cut VERY wide in the chest/shoulder, to the point that they really puff up unless you're already pretty big/buff/whatever.

For the style of shirt you're looking for it looks like you want to try Express or Banana Republic

[Kuya]

Looking at Express, it looks like what i'm looking for. And with the store locator, it seems there's a store here. But can anyone see if the website says anything about its shipping policy (where they will ship to)? I can't find it, and if i can have it ordered, i would prefer that since i hate going to the mall.

Once again, major thanks for the help.

Please note that we currently do not ship outside of the United States, selected Territories, and Canada. In order to make an online purchase, you must have a credit card billing address within the United States or Canada. In addition, the issuing bank must be based in the United States or Canada.

but you should call or email customer service and ask I imagine they'd ship to you if they have a store there (in Plaza Las Americas, according to the locator)

"Selected Territories"

I'm going to assume they don't deliver here unless anyone else finds out otherwise.

But in the meantime, does anyone here also know where to find good dress pants? I bought two pairs in Zara, while they are great, the only flaw is that they are wider in the waste. They only had size 31s and no 30s. Anyone else got any suggestions?

edit: alright, thanks atreides

Get your measurements taken by a tailor, and go to moderntailor.com and choose your own style and every detail you want and get a custom fit. I love using them.

[Atreides]

uh "selected territories" probably means guam and puerto rico only, just send them an email and ask

[kawaiiuzume]

Just checked it out, they do list Puerto Rico under states if you set your location to United States when ordering so yes they do send to you.

Then the chances are good. I'll still ask.

If possible, i'll go to the store, try out the shirts and see if they fit like i want them to in practice, if yes, then i will order.

What is the occasion? Make sure they're dress shirts and not sport shirts.

[Ohemgee]

Express is good for fitted clothes. I normally get a lot of dress shirt and ties from there.

Fashion help: Do fitted shirts like that go well with a blazer? Or should I just rock out the fitted shirt? Because whenever I do wear my blazers, its typically in a non-professional situation.
