Bold Short Sleeve Shirts for Summer

Whilst winter is all about rugging up, with plenty of heat-retaining dark colors, summer is about making a statement. With the opportunity to dress to impress at barbeques, festivals, beach days and picnics, to name a few, now is the perfect time to put together a bright and fun outfit. And what better way to start, than with a bold short sleeve shirt?

Summer Stripes

Stripes are in this season, but make sure to look for vertical stripes which flatter your shape and create length in the body, perfect for those wearing regular or tall sizing. If you’re unsure where you fit, you can use our handy size guide to walk you through measuring the key areas of your body for the best size.

The weather isn’t the only thing hot this summer, with our Archer Linen Stripe Shirt quickly becoming a favorite. Bright pastels, with a hint of pink, makes this shirt a great choice for relaxing on the beach, hitting the town with friends, and making an impression on a first date. It’s all the cheeriness of a sunrise in shirt form!

If you prefer a matching set, the Tate Stripe Shirt with matching Stripe Walk Shorts is a summer staple. The soft and lightweight viscose makes tackling humid days a breeze, whilst keeping you super comfortable when out on the move. You can also easily dress it down with a pair of plain shorts, or dress it up with a pair of jeans, boots and a blazer for a more formal event.

Finally, keep things light and airy with the Asher Linen Stripe Shirt. The breathable blend of linen and cotton will keep you cool and relaxed all day long. If you often go for darker colors, why not try this subtle pattern as a step into a lighter color palette?

Tropical Look

It’s only natural that the most tropical months call for a tropical print! We’re not talking about gaudy Hawaiian shirts, but on-trend floral and summery patterns that will have all your friends asking where they can buy one.

Nothing says vacation like a palm tree, so take a look at our Destination Print Shirt. This monotone shirt embraces the spirit of summer without the bright colors, perfect for bigger guys who prefer a more understated wardrobe. The viscose fabric is semi tailored to flatter your shape, whilst remaining comfortable and breathable for those warm, sunny days.

Who doesn’t like pineapples? The Pineapple Print Shirt is a great balance between tropical print and a classic, bold color which has versatility for plenty of occasions. When you can enjoy sizes L to 7XL, and LT to 3XLT for taller guys, perhaps the pineapple shirt is calling to be the unofficial uniform of your upcoming boys’ getaway?

A modern take on the Hawaiian shirt, the Zayne Leaf Print Shirt is an absolute must-have this season. Light, breathable and soft to the touch, you’ll love wearing this shirt from your morning coffee run, to beachside lunches, to family dinners, and so much more. The leafy colors on this shirt can be paired with your favorite shorts, chinos or jeans, depending on the event, just be prepared to receive a compliment or two!
