The piece that goes with shorts as well as chinos.
The oxford and the button-down collar
The oxford is a woven cotton in a basket weave, an interlacing of double threads that gives a slightly textured, sturdy and breathable fabric. It's the fabric of the button-down collar shirt, where the tips are fastened to the shirt by two small buttons, a detail borrowed from British polo players to stop the collar from flapping in the wind. Oxford shirts by Fred Perry or Blend can be worn open over a t-shirt or closed with chinos.
Patterns, short sleeves and denim
Pinstripe shirts, like the Blend Sun Stripe, add a fresh touch to a summer outfit. The short-sleeved shirt, like the Kariban Aces, is worn out of the trousers on hot days. The denim shirt, like the one from Project X Paris, which is thicker, is suitable for cool evenings, and the overshirt is worn open like a light jacket. Shirts from Revolution, a Danish brand, feature relaxed cuts and natural fabrics.
Light flannel and organic cotton
Flannel, a brushed cotton that gives it a soft touch, comes in lighter versions, like those from Colorful Standard or KnowledgeCotton Apparel, in organic cotton, for late summer evenings. A cotton shirt is washed at 30 or 40 degrees, hung on a hanger right after the washing cycle to limit creases, and ironed while still slightly damp. The two-ply fabric of the Michael Kors shirt, with double and twisted threads, is smoother and more durable.

Frequently asked questions
What is an oxford shirt?
The oxford is a woven cotton in a basket weave, with double threads that create a slightly textured, sturdy and breathable fabric. It's the classic fabric for the button-down collar shirt, which can be worn with both jeans and chinos.
Why do some shirt collars have buttons?
The button-down collar originated from British polo players, who fastened the tips of their collars to stop them from flapping in the wind during play. This detail has remained on casual shirts, to be worn without a tie.
What shirt should you wear in hot weather?
A short-sleeved shirt in lightweight cotton allows air to pass through and absorbs sweat. Choose a straight, slightly loose fit and light shades that reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it.
How do you wash and iron a shirt without damaging it?
Why do white shirts turn yellow?
Sweat and deodorant residues oxidize in the fabric, especially at the collar and under the arms. Wash the shirt soon after wearing it and avoid drying it too hot, which sets the yellowing permanently.
