Men's Dress Shirts

The Original Penguin Fit Difference

Sharp style starts with the perfect fit. Our dress shirt collection is anchored by our signature Heritage Slim Fit—a modern cut designed to flatter without restricting movement. Tailored closer through the chest and waist with higher armholes, these shirts provide a clean, contemporary silhouette that looks just as good under a blazer as it does with rolled sleeves at happy hour.

Performance Meets Style

  • Stretch Fabrics: Many of our dress shirts feature cotton-stretch blends that move with you, ensuring all-day comfort during long meetings or travel.
  • Bold Patterns: Stand out from the sea of plain white shirts with our signature florals, micro-checks, and conversation-starting prints.
  • Versatility: Designed with shorter hemlines that look polished whether tucked into dress pants or worn untucked with denim.
  • Quality Details: Finished with durable buttons, structured collars, and the iconic Pete logo embroidery.

Care & Maintenance

Keep your dress shirts looking crisp and new with proper care. We recommend machine washing cold with like colors to preserve the vibrancy of our patterns. Tumble dry on low and remove promptly to minimize wrinkles.

For a professional finish, a warm iron can be used, but be sure to check the care label on your specific shirt. Avoid using bleach, as it can damage the stretch fibers and fade unique prints.

FAQs

Difference: Dress Shirt vs. Button-Down?

While often used interchangeably, a "button-down" technically refers to the collar style where the points are fastened to the shirt by buttons. A "dress shirt" is a broader category of formal shirts with stiff collars and long sleeves. At Original Penguin, we blend both styles to create versatile shirts suitable for work and play.

How should a slim fit shirt fit?

A slim fit shirt should hug your body gently without feeling tight or restricting movement. You should have enough room to comfortably cross your arms. The fabric should not pull at the buttons across the chest, and the shoulder seams should sit right at the edge of your shoulders.

What is "Heritage Slim Fit"?

Heritage Slim Fit is our signature cut inspired by mod-era tailoring. It is slimmer through the chest and waist than a standard regular fit, featuring higher armholes and narrower sleeves for a sleek, modern profile.

Do these dress shirts have stretch?

Yes, many of our dress shirts are crafted with a cotton-spandex blend. This addition of elastane provides natural stretch, allowing for greater range of motion and comfort compared to traditional 100% rigid cotton shirts.

Can I machine wash these shirts?

Absolutely. Most of our dress shirts are designed for easy care. We recommend machine washing on a cold, gentle cycle and tumble drying on low. Always check the specific care label on your garment for the best results.
