GQ, September 2004  The Steven Alan Dress Shirt  Steven Alan is going to be your new best friend. The New York–based clothier makes a line of cotton dress shirts that are so perfect for hanging out, you will never want to hang them up. They're washed several times, giving them the feel of vintage without a trace of Eau de Salvation Army. Wrinkled but not ravaged, they fit perfectly—slightly trim along the sides and a bit short around the hips, making them ideal for that imperfect, untucked look. You can wear them with jeans or cords, with a skinny tie, or under this season's rumpled suit. With their narrow stripes and mini checks, they feel like wear-to-work shirts you may have owned in the past—except not so boxy, not so Capitol Hill.  $140, www.stevenalan.com  Price and availability at time of press.
