for people who have had experience with the brand, what do you think about their dressier buttonups?

my parents are going to new york in a month and for the price i can probably get like 5 and im set for the year. how is the fit? how is the quality? any other things i should know?

Uniqlo's dress shirts are good for the price...that's as far as I'll go. If you don't already know very much about tailored clothing, you'll love them. If you're already into tailored clothing (ie Kiton, Borrelli, anything MTM, etc) these won't get your heart rate moving.

For the price, they are a great value. IMO, their button-downs are better than their point collars.

Didn't really like the style - none of the shirts seemed to have stiff collars, which I like. They are very reasonably priced, though, at around $39.50 or so. I haven't tried them on for fit or anything like that, although I have had some issues with the fit on other garments at Uniqlo earlier.

For dress shirts, I honestly think Zara offers a better value. Although Uniqlo carries more color staples.

Co-sign, zara actually has very nice quality button ups and blazers, and they almost always have a couple blazers and a shitload of buttonups for sale.

my problem with uniqlo dress shirts is the quality of the shirt fabric. i can't speak to zara (which i generally loathe along with h&m) but you might also want to consider getting dress shirts on sale at a better department store near you - i'm sure most carry a more "contemporary" fit these days.

I didn't get any "dress shirt" but I bought two of the linen/cotton blend button up shirts this weekend. The fabric is decent, but the fit is spot-on (@ size XS). For $30, you can't beat it.

i got one of the non-iron cotton/poly button downs and i really like it. the fabric is much thicker than the 100% cotton so the collars and cuffs are pretty stiff. fit is good too, although i had to go down one size.
