For every day work shirts, I find I can't really go wrong with Charles Tyrwhitt shirts.
They're frequently on a 'buy 4 for £100' deal. The sizing is a little bit 'vanity sizing', so if you want slim fit I'd advise checking out the 'extra slim fit' range.
The quality is leagues ahead of the chain store shirts though, and I actually prefer them to some of the more expensive designer brand shirts I've had in the past.

That thread and some later ones is interesting in its comments on CT shirts and quality of late.
Eterna and Olymp look a decent compromise between quality and price but only going from what I can read online as like most things finding anything decent locally is damned near impossible.

It is this. I tend to get them on the 4 for £100 and they are quite nice.They're frequently on a 'buy 4 for £100' deal. The sizing is a little bit 'vanity sizing', so if you want slim fit I'd advise checking out the 'extra slim fit' range.

Not tried Eterna, but Olymp were overpriced and poor quality compared to Tyrwhitt shirts (of a few years ago).

Another TM Lewin superfitted fan. 4 for £100 and they wash and iron well. I don't often wear a suit these days but back when I was in PAYE employment I would have to daily and would always have 12 - 16 shirts in rotation and then replace 4 at a time every 6 months or so to keep them fresh. Never bothered with pricey ties either as invariably ties would get lost on drunken nights after work or coffee spilled down them. I would spend on suits and shoes, but skimp on shirts and ties.
