A Summer shirt is an essential Summer staple to get right because it’s the main attraction on show! Instead of going for the obvious choice, why not experiment with different stripes and stand out from the crowd. The bolder the print or pattern the much harder it is to style but fear not here is a quick guide to picking the perfect Summer shirt.
Striped Shirts
Stripes are no stranger to a summer wardrobe. This season the focus is on vertical striped shirts, providing a great alternative to the nautical classic striped t-shirt. The lines draw the eye up and down, making you appear taller and slimmer – useful, if your summer body workout hasn’t exactly gone to plan. The narrowest stripes remain pretty formal, while the slightly wider bengal stripes give you a more casual look.
Vertical
By switching from a horizontal to a vertical stripe, you instantly create a new dimension to your look.
Pinstripe
The pin size brings a formal attitude to the casual striped tee. Opt for muted colour palette such as grey, white or black.
Breton
If you're not in the mood for experimenting, choose this classic option.
Side Stripe
The side stripe detail is perfect if you want to wear a stripe pattern subtly.
