Men's Short Sleeve Shirts

How to style a short sleeve shirt

A short sleeve shirt is incredibly versatile and an essential wardrobe staple for spring and summer.

For the office

A short sleeve shirt will keep you cool in the sun while ensuring you look smart when you need to. It’s a step up from a tshirt, but comfortable and light compared to wearing a long sleeve shirt. For summer business meetings, style with tailored trousers and your smartest shoes.

For the weekend

A white short sleeve shirt is your go-to for laid back style when you still want to look put-together. Wear a linen shirt over shorts, chinos or jeans and pair with fresh trainers or sandals. Try bold prints or pastel colours to add a burst of colour to your outfit - perfect for summer drinks and barbecues!

Layer it up

For those in-between days where it’s not quite warm enough to go sleeveless, a short sleeve shirt can be worn under a light sweater or over a white t-shirt.

Can you wear a short sleeve shirt with a suit?

For those semi-formal occasions, absolutely! A slim-fit style with minimal detail works best with suits in lighter or pastel shades. Short sleeve shirts are perfect for linen suits or lightweight ones with a little less structure for the summer.

However, if you’re at an event that requires a formal dress code, it’s best to stick to long sleeves to maintain a smart appearance, whether your suit jacket is on or off.
