This pretty much:
The one on the right that is. The one on the left is very staid and unfashionable. Try any high street outfitters and ask specifically that cut, don't get palmed off with any of the older cuts.
Are you having a laugh? It's for the office - I have no idea where that would be worn. The one on the right that is. The one on the left is very staid and unfashionable. Try any high street outfitters and ask specifically that cut, don't get palmed off with any of the older cuts.
Soovy's advice is sound, especially if on a budget.

If it's just for the office try to get that cut but wider in the leg, higher in the waist. The extra fabric in the leg makes them more comfortable when sitting down and the higher waist stops your shirt from hanging out.
In a similar vein , M&S 2inch longer shirts stay tucked in well. Sartorial twill ones are good.Cotty said:

Charles Tyrwhitt shirts are pretty good value. Stick to white and blue single or double cuff cut away collars e.g. click.
The no-iron range work well. Suits are good. Tried M&S and nothing felt right. Got one from one of the Charles Tyrwhitt outlets and it seems pretty good.
I've found the tips of the collars of their shirts don't last too long - I guess automatic washing machines are harsh on them. Need to find a virgin to wash them by hand.

I find they go one the cuffs first, especially where they were folded in the packet. Why do mens shirts still come in packets with bits of plastic and cardboard in them and the odd pin to get blood over your new shirt. LordGrover said:

Just got loads of these in the sale (non iron). Seem very good quality but I've only had them a couple of weeks. Next day delivery online I seem to remember. Zod said:
Don't go fashionable on suits. Just go for classic lines. My oldest suit is 19 years old and in a similar style to the newest ones. Imagine if you'd gone for flares and big lapels in the 70s: you'd have had to bin all your suits come 1981.
Exactly that. As someone probably said, "Style never goes out of fashion."Sharted said:

Definitely the way things are going and a look worth seeking out. You'll be glad you made the effort.
