Casual Summer Shirts To Keep You Cool This Season

The best summer shirts for casual days are sit somewhere between sharp and laid-back style, so that you won’t feel over or underdresed. Though our casual shirts are ideal for wearing without a tie, they all still offer smartness during leisure time, whether you’re out and about for the weekend or relaxing on holiday. As a starting point when designing a casual shirt, fabrics such as soft linen and cotton are the perfect choices as they feel as good as they look but can also be relied on to regulate your body temperature in the heat, keeping you cool. Wearing a shirt in the heat doesn’t need to feel restrictive or overly formal either. Design details such as button-down collars will ensure a relaxed feel, while straight cuffs are ideal for neatly rolling up your shirt’s sleeves. Pattern or bold colour too will help to ensure that your shirt feels appropriate for a casual setting, while maintaining that all-important neat presentation.
