Sport Shirts: A Casual Dressing Necessity

What can we say? This sport shirt speaks for itself. It's just a great looking summer check from Michael Kors that will go with every solid bottom you already have in your closet. From the classic neutrals to navy to even a pop color like orange or yellow, this shirt is going to work. And with its trimmer fit, it’s going to add a bit of polish to your look.

J.Crew knows how to do casual, and they got it just right with this classic oxford. White is the ultimate summer color and literally goes with everything in your summer wardrobe – twill pants, shorts, jeans, over swim trunks. The button down collar is very updated looking, and the style is available in two fits, classic and slim. This is a shirt for everyone – and you’ll have it forever. Also available in classic blue.

From Thomas Dean, this an all-cotton deep pink gingham check is a great companion to your darker wash jeans and tan or stone flat front twill pants. We like the fun contrast under the collar and cuffs for a casual statement.

If you enjoy the comfort of silk, this is a shirt for you. And it’s washable, so you don’t have to worry about dry cleaning this one. From Nat Nast, this novelty batik print is surprisingly versatile from solid shorts and pants to jeans. Generally thought of as a dressy fabric, silk can be casual and fun, too.

Another woven silk, this one is Tommy Bahama’s classic solid short sleeve camp shirt style. This too, can be machine-washed, which is also a plus. Available in 14 colors (we love this taupe for a neutral and the Julius orange for some fun) to coordinate with all your pattern and solid shorts. This is the shirt that says “I am on vacation”.

This casual solid linen shirt will be your “go-to” shirt for those hot summer days. It already has that wonderful washed faded look, thanks to the pigment-printed linen, that will only get better the more you wear it. White is a must have but we also like the soft blue, pale turquoise and serape coral (shown). Wear it with everything summer.

From the Robert Graham X Collection, this short sleeve basketweaved plaid is a trimmer fit and with all the Robert Graham details that make his shirts so interesting. The multicolor use of blues, reds, yellows, and orange have a subtle summer punch. Wear it with your neutral color shorts or flat front pants on those hot summer days.

From J.Crew’s Thomas Mason Collection, this navy blue fine line stripe works so well with your solid shorts and flat front twill pants on those hot days of summer. The Thomas Mason fabric makes this shirt special. Founded in 1796 in Leeds, England, Thomas Mason continues to produce the finest cotton fabrics in the world. The contemporary fit and short button down collar make this a current classic. We love to see a brand we’ve supported for so many years reach so many audiences, as they do in the partnership with J.Crew.
