With a traditional fit and two chest pockets, the Bean abides. Don't tuck it in, though.

Light-wash denim is perfect for the summery seasons ahead. Opt for the full Canadian tuxedo with a pair of jeans to match.

Big savings on an even bigger denim shirt chock full of the type of details you typically see on a style four times its price.

Todd Snyder's Japanese denim shirt is proof that when you want to give an American icon an elegant upgrade, you simply turn to the fabric maestros in Italy (and Japan).

Simple, streamlined, and always in style. Choose from four washes, or don't choose, and get one of each.

This slim-fit button down from Buck Mason is quality you can trust. The single scallop pocket is a subtle touch.

It's only natural that Levi's would make one of the best denim shirts out there today. An all-American icon.

This one almost passes as a dress shirt, with an indigo wash that's so sleek. Oh yeah, and it's sustainably made, so we love it even more.

A brand staple since 2004, Billy Reid's denim shirt has slightly offset pockets, antique brass snaps, and a soft denim fabric that only gets better with each wash. It's a classic for a reason.

AG Jeans is known for producing some of the best quality denim on the market. It should come to no surprise that its denim shirts are equally as stellar, as seen by this leatherette-coated style. Throw on some combat boots, and you are ready to hit the road.

This guy is a little different than the others. If you haven't spotted why, just check out the short buttoning making it a pullover style. It's a little more casual—something to toss on over a T-shirt or tank.

Dubbed the "Eternal" shirt, Fear of God strikes longevity with this simple silhouette. The faded wash gives a worn-in feel, almost as if it's just been sitting around your grandpa's closet for the past few decades and are just brushing off the dust now.

A denim shirt from the pros. It's the sport shirt that we would not recommend working out in. Treat it with some respect.

Wear it as a shirt or a jacket—it's versatile. The black acid wash is as edgy as you can get.

The perfectly cut, ultra-soft button-front you should reach for when the time comes for something a little more luxe. Cucinelli strikes again.

It's Marni, it's printed, and you need it. Well, that third one is optional, but between the sporty silhouette and the washed out cursive, you won't be far behind.
