What we liked: Twillory dress shirts are the best shirts I've found for the money. The fit is perfect, with a great balance of slim and comfortable., I've worn these through 12-hour workdays and they still look pressed. No ironing needed, ever., Best bang for your buck in performance dress shirts. I own 8 of them now and they're all I wear to the office., Sizing is consistent across all their styles which makes reordering easy. Love the modern fit..
Worth knowing: Not as wrinkle-resistant as Mizzen+Main, but at $30 less per shirt, it's a fair trade-off., The performance fabric feels great but doesn't breathe as well as traditional cotton in summer heat..
