Few garments deserve as much attention—and careful selection—as the everyday Oxford shirt. A cornerstone of modern dressing, it has transcended its roots, to become a staple in just about every wardrobe. There’s nothing more effortlessly chic than a perfectly oversized, crisp button-down in that unmistakable Oxford weave.

When shopping for a classic, our advice remains: always look to the brands that did it right from the start. Heritage matters. At RUSSH, we love all button-downs—from embroidered and embellished versions to the western cowboy cut—but today, we’re singling out the Oxford for its enduring relevance and understated polish.

The beauty of the Oxford lies in its simplicity. With its heavier fabric and signature basketweave, it’s the shirt that can go from a casual day out to dinner with ease. Whether tucked into tailored trousers or thrown over a swimsuit, its versatility can’t be overstated. And while it might appear basic, true style lies in the subtle details—the perfect collar roll, the right weight, the ideal amount of slouch in a men’s cut worn oversized.

In anticipation of the cooler months ahead, we’ve rounded up the labels that have perfected this classic. From the enduring cool of Ralph Lauren, to the refined edge of Loewe and Bottega Veneta, these are the names to know. Each brings its own approach to the Oxford, but all remain rooted in a respect for timeless design.

So if you’re looking to invest in a piece that will outlast trends and seasons, look no further. Below, RUSSH shares our favourite Oxford button-downs—and the brands that continue to get it right.
