How terrible is the material in the 1MX dress shirts from Express? They fade terribly fast and are not easy to iron without a ton of starch. So overpriced for the quality you get. Recommendations on dress shirts that last?

Express is hands down the worst 'designer' brand. Poor quality. Growing disappointment with Banana Republic

I’ve blown the elbows out of all my Brooks Bros shirts, I switched over to TM Lewin and Charles Tyrwhitt (especially when on sale for around ~$30 each)

Mizzen+Main, Ministry of Supply, or Wool & Prince. Be sure take advantage of coupon codes to get the average shirt price down to $100-ish.

Nordstrom house brand. Too many people chasing bb and CT which have declined in quality over the years.

Costco. I kid you not. Same material as BB.

Only thing they don't have are French cuffs. For that I buy overseas. Macy's sometimes has a 4/$48 promo as well, though never tested Macy's shirt quality.

Charles Tyrwhitt is not bad but their slim fits are too tight on my chest. On the flip side, their regular fit is too loose on my waist. Damn these perfect genetics I tell you.

You have to rotate CT shirts. Some have lasted 18 months (that's my cutoff window anyway)

Macy's own brand is poor. Nordstrom better.

What city are you in.
Sid Mashburn in Atlanta or Los Angeles is the best set of work clothes I own. Not cheap, though.

OP - you must be doing something wrong. Mine last a year of weekly wear.. not sure if that is too short but it’s acceptable to me. I dry clean with no starch every week.
