This is your best bet
If you’re looking for cheap workhorse business shirts that you can beat-up and not worry about, this is your best bet. At $55 you can get a fairly wide range of colors and patterns, and the cotton feels decent given the price point

Great dress shirts
Love the customization and colors. You’re able to get a great dress shirt at a reasonable price. Usually I buy dress shirts and after tailoring they’re quite expensive. This saves a step and gets the job done!

What is the difference between a button-up shirt and a button-down shirt?
The terms "button-up" and "button-down" are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference. A button-down shirt has buttons on the collar points that fasten to the shirt, keeping the collar in place. A button-up shirt simply refers to any shirt that buttons up the front, without necessarily having a button-down collar. At Hockerty, you can design both styles to suit your preferences.
How do you style a loose button-down shirt?
Styling a loose button-down shirt can create a relaxed yet polished look. You can tuck it into tailored pants or jeans for a casual yet put-together style. Roll up the sleeves for a laid-back vibe or layer it over a t-shirt for a more casual appearance. The key is to balance the loose fit with more fitted pieces to maintain a stylish silhouette.
