Building a Summer Wardrobe Part 2 - Shirts

Let's discuss shirt options for the summer season, including long sleeves, short sleeves, and how to wear them:

Long Sleeve Linen Shirts:

• Lightweight linen shirts are a great choice for a smart-casual summer look. Linen is breathable and ideal for warmer weather.

When wearing linen shirts, ensure they have the right fit. They should drape your torso nicely without appearing too sloppy.

Typically, you should leave linen shirts untucked for a relaxed look. Rolling up the sleeves can add a casual touch to your outfit.

Investing in a steamer for your linen shirts is recommended, as steaming them when they are still slightly damp can help relax the fabric and remove wrinkles.

When it comes to colour and patterns, you can experiment with soft or bold colours, checks, or stripes. Linen shirts are an excellent opportunity to have some fun with your summer wardrobe. Just ensure that the colours and patterns complement your bottoms.

Cotton Shirts (Long and Short Sleeves):

• Similar to linen, cotton shirts are versatile for summer. You can also roll up the sleeves and experiment with colours and patterns.

Cotton shirts can be more fitted and are suitable for both tucking in and leaving out, depending on your style preference.

Short sleeve cotton shirts are a great choice for a relaxed summer look. Avoid tucking them in. Ensure they have the right length and aren't too long in the body. A slightly loose or relaxed fit looks better than a skin-tight fit for short-sleeve shirts.

When it comes to patterns and prints, your body size can influence your choice. Larger patterns can work for taller bigger individuals, while smaller patterns or prints are more flattering for shorter and slimmer guys.

Ultimately, the key to a stylish summer wardrobe is finding shirts that suit your personal style and comfort. Whether you prefer the relaxed, untucked look of linen or the versatility of cotton, there are options to keep you cool and stylish during the warmer months.
