Men’s Short Sleeve & Casual Shirts

Men’s Short Sleeve Shirts FAQs

How do I style a short sleeve shirt?

A short sleeve shirt can be styled in a number of ways. Wear one of our short sleeve shirts to a garden party or barbecue with a snazzy pair of men’s shorts and pumps.

Not quite shorts weather? Our men’s short sleeve shirts look remarkable with jeans and trainers too. Alternatively, if you’re looking for something a little more suave, opt for smart chinos and brogues.

How do I layer a short sleeve shirt?

Bring even more personality to your short sleeve shirt with layering. One cool and casual look we love is wearing your shirt open over your choice of t-shirt. Laid back yet stylish, it’s a perfect go-to daytime look.

For a smart and preppy air to your outfit, try layering a cosy knit jumper over your short sleeve shirt. Ensure the collar is neatly folded over the neckline for that final finishing touch to the overall look. This creates a crisp contrast across different tones and textures.

Alternatively, instantly elevate your short sleeve shirt with a blazer for a sleek and sophisticated look.

Are short sleeve shirts considered smart or casual?

Short sleeve shirts are a fantastic outfit choice for both smart and casual events, like garden parties or drinks with friends. They’re also a brilliant business-casual choice - easily dressed up with smart trousers and brogues, they can be a perfect way to keep cool in the summer while working.
