About Ted Baker’s button-ups: Ted Baker is a British label known for detailed, pattern-forward shirts — slim cotton button-ups with bold prints, contrast trims and decorative interior details.
Is the price honest?
Our take
Ted Baker's shirts are known for detail and pattern — slim cotton button-ups with bold prints, contrast cuff and collar trims, and the brand's signature decorative interior touches. Owners praise the distinctive styling, the quality cotton, and the way the shirts stand out. The caveats: the cut runs slim and the patterns are assertive, the fashion-led look dates faster than a plain shirt, and the decorative trims are a love-or-leave-it feature. For someone who wants a statement shirt with British styling, reviewers rate it well.

Fit check: Ted Baker
Varies by lineTed 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.

How Ted Baker button-ups hold up overall
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.
