I’ve headed back to the office but the shirts do fit like they used to so it’s time for a few new ones. I’m after decent quality, non iron shirts, where should I be looking?

  5. George @ Asda.

    Edit : that’s a lie, I get mine from M&S but I tell everyone I got them from Asda, I don’t know why.

  10. It depends if you are on a career path and need to impress (in which case Charles Tyrwhitt are good) or if it’s a ball ache pointless call centre job (in which case Primark, but don’t touch any door knobs if the office has vinyl carpets because you will burst into flames)

  11. Next for very high street

    Charles Tyrwhitt for a slight better quality.

    My partners Tyrwhitt ones last a lot longer than his Next ones

  13. I get mine from TK Maxx. I found some really comfortable fitted/off the shelf tailored shirts here.

  14. I get my husband Ralph Lauren or Hugo boss or Paul smith on eBay and Vinted, £5-15 a shirt, mostly new with tags or worn once. Loads of people changed weight over covid

  15. Costco. The own brand (Kirkland) offerings you can’t beat.
    Nothing fancy, but good value and hard wearing.

  16. I don’t wear shirts but I can point you towards a lovely velvet corset.

  18. You ask for ‘non iron’. That means either polycotton or totally synthetic which isn’t that nice to wear all day, or treated cotton which feels great but the non iron finish will gradually wash off after 10+ washes.

    I’d suggest washing and hanging out carefully then the new shirts will require very little ironing. The better the cotton the easier they are to iron and less crumpled they get after washing.

    To illustrate the difference that decent material can make: I have some literally 100 year old shirts (made in the 1920s) which I still wash and wear regularly. Not for work though.
