Men's Shirts

Every man should have at least a few solid dresses and business shirts in his collection. Equally important are the more informal and linen variants, especially in colours like white, pink, grey, yellow, and black. While style is all about finding your fashion calling, solids, stripes, and prints are safer bets, and you can choose eclectic colours too! With Oxford’s shirts for men, you are never out of options.

Shirts are versatile and can be teamed with a wide range of bottoms. For men’s dress shirts and suit shirts, consider going for suit or dress pants, while your linen shirts can team well with chinos, jeans, and regular formal pants alike. You can also wear your shirts with your suits, and we have included colours that can fit various occasions and events.

We have a diversified collection of shirts for men, starting with dress shirts, linen shirts, business shirts, polo shirts, and mandarin-collar shirts. We also have printed variants and short-sleeved shirts that work with shorts and your regular Bermudas. You can also consider adding a few spread-collar shirts and tuxedo shirts to your range. A crisp white shirt is a must-have in any man’s essential collection

Style is subjective and fickle; what is en vogue one moment can quickly fall out of favour the next. But there are some classic types of shirts that never go out of style.

Men’s dress shirts in Australia are at the top of that list. Whilst certain colours may be more popular from one season to the next, men’s business shirts and dress shirts are relatively unchanging. It is safe to add a few dressy long sleeve shirts and some tasteful ties to your wardrobe as your go-to formal wear.

Other trendsetting shirts hitting the scene include the following:

• Dots, stripes, and solids — Classic T-shirts are fun, but shirts with fun colours and patterns can help spice things up a bit. We have both men’s short and long sleeve shirts in several solid colours. Stripes, dots, palm and leaf prints are tossed into the mix, with a few single-pocket varieties. Whether you like crew necks or V-necks, we have got you covered.
• Knitwear — Vests are especially hot right now and can be worn with men’s short sleeve shirts and long sleeve shirts under a complementary blazer or men’s jacket.
• Long-sleeved polos — Polos are always a favourite when you are going for a casual look. Long-sleeved polos are clean and timeless. They have the added benefit of making your biceps pop, so consider adding a few to your wardrobe. If you want to mix it up even more, experiment with different style necklines. Henleys combine the best of both crewnecks and V-necks.
• Oxford button-down shirts — Long sleeve shirts are perfect for pairing with suits, trousers, chinos, or even your favourite pair of jeans. A casual take on the traditional dress style shirt, our dress shirts for men are perfect for any event. Lighter colours are ideal for business settings, whilst darker shades pair nicely with any pants for a casual feel.

When it comes to men’s business shirts, we have four fit options which pair with any men’s suit or coat. Men can choose the one that best matches their personal style.

• Extreme slim fit is for the fashion-forward man. Designed to fit the body snugly, it is slim through the chest, shoulders, sleeves and waist. Extreme slim fit shirts usually are tapered through the midsection and waist, and are roomier through the arms and chest.
• Slim fit is for the trendy man. It is slim across the chest and tapered through the arms, shoulders and sleeves. Slim fit shirts are cut close to the waist.
• Modern fit is an updated version of the classic tailored look. It is close-fitting without restricting your movement too much through the body, chest, and sleeves.
• Classic fit is for the man who likes more room throughout the chest and shoulders but prefers a traditional cut in the arms and sleeves.

Casual long and short sleeve shirts are fitted differently to men’s dress shirts. Here are some guidelines to help in choosing the right casual shirt.

• Polo shirts should be slim fitting. Keep in mind there is a difference between what is slim fitting and too tight. If it looks and feels restrictive, it is too small. The sleeves should reach about midway between your shoulder and elbow.
• T-shirts should conform to the contours of your natural body shape without being too ‘clingy.’ Most T-shirts are designed to be loose on the body. The only exception to this rule is a muscle shirt, which should be very form-fitting.

Getting a proper fitting is recommended when you are purchasing dress shirts or men’s business shirts. Accurate measurements require a soft measuring tape and the help of someone knowledgeable in taking the right readings. Here are some tips for taking measurements to ensure a proper fit.

• Neck measurement. The person who is assisting you should wrap the measuring tape around your neck right below your Adam’s apple. It is imperative the tape sits directly on the skin and is not gapped anywhere. It is normal for the tape measure to sit slightly higher on the back of the neck than the front of the neck. For a proper fitting, your partner’s index finger should be between your neck and the measuring tape. You want it to be snug but not too tight. Once you take the measurement, add 1.27 centimetres to it.
• Sleeve measurement. To get a proper sleeve measurement, it must be done in stages. First, take a reading with the arms in a relaxed position. The tape measure goes behind the centre of the neck and runs over the top of the shoulder. Hold the tape measure in place there and move to the elbow. Hold the tape measure there and then follow to the wrist, going 2.54 centimetres past the wrist bone. This will give you an approximate sleeve length for any long-sleeve shirts.

Whether a shirt fits correctly comes down to the shoulder seams. Regardless of the style of the shirt, the shoulder seams should reach the end of your shoulder at the top of your arm. Shoulder seams that extend down onto the arm are an indication the shirt is too large.
