The verdict

A formal shirt, heavily discounted—good value for occasional formal wear, not a long-term investment.

Fit

Ted Baker formal shirts fit conservatively at the body. Expect a regular collar that points moderately and minimal waist shaping.

Quality

At sale price, this is standard formal construction—adequate seaming and predictable durability. Not premium, but reliable.

Price check

Budget-tier value. The 40% discount makes this a practical buy for formal wear on a budget; at full price it would be overpriced.

Best for

A shopper needing a formal shirt for occasional events and shopping for value over premium details.

Care

Starch and press for formal occasions; regular machine wash is fine.

Varies by line

Ted Baker's menswear tops run small and slim — owners consistently size up — while women's numbered pieces skew generous, with bottoms the most likely to run big.

Owners agree the menswear shirts and polos cut slim and small: forum posters call the shirts "on the small side and quite a slim waist," and a golf reviewer who normally wears a medium found a Ted Baker large (size 4) "perfect." The women's side is less uniform: one long-term buyer says the numbered sizing is "on the generous side" (a 3 wearing like a UK 12/14), while forum threads split — tops reported small, trousers and skirts reported big, jackets and dresses roughly true to size. The brand's own 0–7 numeric scales add friction, so checking the per-item conversion chart matters more here than with most brands.

Sizing advice: Size up one in men's shirts, polos, and tees (the cut is slim and small); on women's pieces stay true to size for dresses and jackets but consider a size down in trousers, skirts, and knits.

What owners report about Ted Baker button-ups

Owners describe shirts with a flattering slim cut and a well-shaped collar, and generally call the quality nice rather than exceptional. Forum posters debate whether the shirts justify full retail price — construction is judged okay but not outstanding, some report fabrics looking worn after a few washes, and a common recommendation is to buy on sale. Sizing draws consistent comments: the numbered sizes run small with a slim waist, and the brand's own guidance concedes sizing differs between products.

Strengths: Owners praise the tailored slim fit and cut — collar shape and shoulder/sleeve proportions get specific compliments.
Watch out for: Value at full price is the recurring gripe, with some posters reporting fabrics that look worn after only a few washes; many recommend waiting for sales.
Sizing: The numbered sizing (e.g., 3 ≈ medium) runs small and slim through the waist, and fit varies between products — many owners size up one from their usual.
