Men's summer shirts on sale

The Oxford Fred Perry Shirt and its Twill Weave

The Oxford fabric is a twill-woven cotton: several weft threads weave together above and below the warp threads, resulting in a thick, slightly granular, and very durable material, more casual than a poplin. Fred Perry, a brand founded in 1952 by the British tennis champion, makes it into a button-down shirt, with the embroidered laurel crown recalling the brand's tennis origins. The button-down collar stays in place without a tie: the shirt can be worn done up to the last button or open with rolled-up sleeves, becoming more flexible with each wash.

Revolution and Blend: The Casual Shirt in Danish Style

The Danish brands represent the most casual part of the selection. Revolution, born in 1995 from the meeting of a textile entrepreneur and an architect, started with graphic t-shirts before designing casual shirts with loose fits, Cuban collars, or thick cotton overshirts. Blend offers its long-sleeve Sun Stripe shirt featuring a vertical stripe pattern. These casual shirts have a straight hem, designed to be worn over, and soft collars that can be worn open: they replace a light jacket on summer evenings.

Two-Ply Cotton and Flannel: Michael Kors and KnowledgeCotton

A two-ply cotton, like that of the Michael Kors Modern shirt, is woven with threads made, each, from two twisted strands: the fabric gains in hold, softness, and durability, and wrinkles less than a single-ply cotton throughout the day. Its fitted cut makes it a dressy shirt. In contrast, the flannel Dune shirt from KnowledgeCotton Apparel, a brand founded in 2008 in Herning, Denmark, committed to organic cotton, offers a brushed, warm, and cozy fabric, ideal for cool late summer evenings and for autumn.

Finding the Right Size and Fit for a Shirt

A men's shirt is first chosen by the shoulder width: the shoulder seam should fall at the end of the bone, not rising up the arm or hanging down. The buttoning should not pull at the chest, and the sleeve should end at the base of the thumb, with arms down by the body. A fitted cut, tapered at the waist, is suitable for slim silhouettes; a straight or loose fit offers more room and can easily be worn open. For a button-down collar shirt, a finger should fit between the collar and the neck. Finally, cotton washed at thirty degrees hardly shrinks, unlike a hotter wash.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are the buttons on men's shirts on the right?

The most common explanation dates back to past centuries: men dressed themselves, mostly right-handed, while wealthy women were dressed by a maid facing them. The practice then became standard.

How to iron a shirt quickly?

Iron it while still slightly damp, starting with the collar, then the cuffs, sleeves, the back section, and finally the fronts. An Oxford cotton shirt can handle a hot iron, while flannel is better ironed with steam, on the reverse side.

How to revive a yellowed white shirt?

Soak it for a few hours in hot water mixed with sodium percarbonate, then wash it normally. Avoid bleach, which weakens the cotton fibers and may worsen yellowing.

How to pack a shirt in a suitcase without wrinkling it?

Button it up, fold the sleeves at the back, and then fold it into thirds along its height, collar facing up. Rolled in a soft garment or slipped into a thin garment bag, it arrives almost wrinkle-free.

Linen or cotton shirt: which to wear in hot weather?

Linen breathes better, dries very quickly, and stays cool to the touch, but wrinkles at the slightest movement. Cotton, which looks neater all day, is better suited for the office; a lightweight cotton with an airy weave offers a good compromise.
