6 Ways To Style Men’s Casual Shirts This Summer
We’re all about encouraging you to make the most of your wardrobe, and that means breaking the rules when it comes to smart versus casual. Most men have an array of shirts in their arsenal, but you can make them less “boardroom” and more “weekend cool” with these looks from Instagram. From chocolate brown tailoring paired with summer pastel linens to sporty looks perfect for weekend brunch dates, here’s how to style men’s casual shirts while summer is still here.
Look 1
The plaid shirt is practically a weekend staple. Make it feel a bit cooler with light denim and a chunky boat shoe, topped off with a stylish cap.

Pink shirts aren’t just for finance bros and the 9-to-5. Give one a hipster twist with tailored shorts, chunky loafers and a ribbed vest worn underneath – perfect for the weekend.

Look 3
The “retro athletic” aesthetic is everywhere right now, and it works perfectly juxtaposed with a smarter shirt. We love Ralph Lauren’s pastel-striped shirt – it’s very much giving off a ’90s dad vibe – paired with classic Adidas shorts and Nike’s football boot-inspired sneakers.

Look 4
Summer’s bright limoncello shade and autumn’s rich chocolate hue work perfectly with one another, effortlessly transitioning your look from warm weather to layers. Take a classic linen shirt and pair it with tailored brown trousers and classic chunky DMs. A gold signet ring will add that perfect bit of edge.

Look 5
Most men have a classic blue striped shirt in their arsenal. To make it feel less “Patrick Bateman” and more “Paul Mescal,” pair it with wide-leg trousers and a messenger bag. We love Aaron’s choice of patent shoes, but while the weather is still playing ball, a leather sandal would be a perfect alternative.

Finally, take a classic striped shirt and light chino combination and make it sing with monochrome penny loafers and an unexpected sporty cap. It’s a versatile outfit that’s equally great for coffee dates as it is for casual working days.
