As with any wardrobe staple, the variety of different shirts available is (almost) endless: simple plain shirts, camp-collar shirts, knit shirts, shirt jackets... need I go on?

But one thing that unites all the different categories (except for them all being button-ups) is that high-fashion brands make the best around. It almost goes without saying but carefully crafted, designer shirts are the ones you'll most likely treasure.

With the holiday season just having started, meaning there are more excuses than ever to dress up, we've rounded up a range of designer shirts to treat yourself to.

Including bold prints from Dries Van Noten and trompe l'oeil trickery from Bottega Veneta, the below options are bound to add a touch of luxe to your shirt rotation.
