When you go shopping for a work shirt, it doesn’t pay to try and economise. Even in these credit crunch days, buying quality is always the right thing to do, and so it is with work shirts.

When you work outdoors or in a production environment, your shirts will need to keep you warm in cold weather and take a lot of wear and tear. So there’s no point in making do with poor quality men’s shirts. They’ll wear out in no time at all.

Work shirts don’t need to be at the forefront of men’s fashion and style like your off-duty wear or look snappy like designer shirts, so a heavier weave is usually best. But remember that your work shirt still needs to be 100% cotton and with a comfortable soft feel.
Checked shirts tend to be the best choice for work as they resist looking crumpled better than plain shirts, and you may find that the type of heavyweight cotton shirts you use for chilling out at home are just the thing to give good service as work shirts.

You’ll save money this way in the long run as your work shirts won’t need replacing nearly as often as cheap ones, you’ll feel more comfortable through the day, and as a bonus you’ll feel that much better for showing some men’s fashion style.
