I'm looking for some dress shirts in the basic colors (blue, white). I want to stock up on slim fitting shirts of overall good quality on a student budget. Got any suggestions where I can get some decent quality shirts? Price range is around <$50. Should I just thrift and tailor them when I find a decent shirt?

Thrift plus tailor is always a cheap option.

However, I’d just wait until Brooks Brothers has a sale on dress shirts, which usually brings prices down to $50 each. 

If you happen to fit into the sizing at Lands’ End Canvas, that’s an option, too.

Why do people always recommend LEC > Lands End ‘vanilla’, when regular LE shirts at least have neck and sleeve length rather than S-M-L? Am I missing something? Admittedly their not-non-iron selection is limited…

A couple of reasons, the main one being though that the fit is hardly “slim fitting”, even in their “tailored fit” line. That’s my point-of-view, anyway.
