There is nothing worse than a stiff summer shirt. This one gets it right by blending cotton with linen, giving you that breezy, textured feel without the extreme creasing that usually leaves you looking like a crumpled paper bag by lunchtime. The irregular blue and white vertical stripes give it a bit of character, while the classic fit and curved hem mean it looks just as good worn loose over navy chinos as it does half-buttoned on the beach. It is finished with a subtle red embroidered detail on the bottom button and a small brand tab at the hem. It is the kind of easy, throw-on piece you will end up wearing to every Sunday roast and pub garden session from May through September.
