When in Rome, shopping is always going to be high on your list of to-dos. With the well-known Italian eye for fashion, clothing should be high on that list, and a bespoke shirt is one of the best expressions of taste you can find.
DAN is a top-notch store specialized in everything around the vestment of a man's upper body. Shirts, ties, cufflinks - all here, and all of fantastic quality. I'd first visited them ten years ago, and stop back in to see what their latest styles are every time I'm back in Rome.
Shirts are what I come here for, and DAN has unique patterns which change annually. The fabric used in most of their men's shirts is a sumptuous Egyptian cotton, and the stitching deeply intricate and complex, leading to both a fine feeling on the skin as well as a very long life for the shirt (if well cared-for).
One of the best aspects of this store is that they will ship internationally to you if you're visiting and either don't have any room left in your luggage or if your size is not readily at hand. Turnaround is fast, and quite affordable.
I look forward to being a DAN regular for many years to come. read more
