Anytime I think about the best white dress shirts for men, I start daydreaming about Don Draper pulling a crisp 5-pack out of his desk drawer after a long night of questionable decisions. I’m not saying you need to keep a stack of your own stashed at the corporate HQ (though it wouldn’t hurt), but you do need a few in your closet.

The white dress shirt has your back (and front). Nervous about a first date? The white dress shirt will help you come correct.

Better yet, they really are accessible to all, whether you’re spending $50 or $500. Below are our absolute favorites.

And at under $100, the fit is already on point, with fit options like regular, slim, and tall to make sure everything sits just right. Besides its underwear—basically printing money for the brand—and the iconic ad campaigns, it’s hard to imagine Calvin Klein doing much else. Case in point: This non-iron dress shirt, which can survive a pick-up basketball game and still look fresh enough for a happy hour later.
