What Counts as a Mens Shirt
A mens shirt is the button front layer with a collar and cuffs that sits at the centre of most wardrobes. Unlike a pullover top, a shirt opens down the front, which makes it easy to throw on, adjust and layer. Our mens shirts span the full spread, from relaxed casual button ups and soft flannels to crisp dress shirts, so there is a collar for the office, the weekend and everything in between.
Shirt Styles Compared
Not every shirt does the same job. Here is how the main styles differ:
- Casual button up. A soft, everyday shirt in cotton or a light blend, easy over a tee or on its own.
- Dress shirt. A cleaner, more structured cut for the office, dinners and events where you tuck in and dress up.
- Flannel and plaid. A brushed, cosier weave for cooler days that layers well and works open or buttoned.
- Short sleeve and printed. Camp collar and resort style shirts in bold prints, made for warm weather and holidays.
- Denim and overshirt. A heavier shirt jacket you wear as a light layer over a tee or knit when a full coat is too much.
When to Reach for Each Shirt
The right shirt depends on the room. A tucked dress shirt handles the office, a client meeting or a smart dinner, while a casual button up left open over a tee is all you need for errands and coffee. Flannels and overshirts carry the cooler months, and a printed short sleeve style is an easy way to look put together on holiday. If you are after polos, tees or tank tops instead of a button front, those live in our mens tops edit.
How to Style a Mens Shirt
A mens shirt is one of the most flexible things you can own. Tuck a plain shirt into chinos or tailored pants with clean shoes for smart casual, or wear it open over a tee with jeans for an easy weekend look. Roll the sleeves for warmer days and layer a flannel or overshirt on top when it cools down. If you like the idea of a coordinated outfit without the guesswork, our matching sets pair a shirt with the bottoms already, and a printed short sleeve shirt sits naturally with a pair of shorts in summer.
Fabric, Fit and Care
Fabric sets the tone. Crisp cotton feels sharp and holds a press, brushed flannel adds warmth and softness, and lighter blends travel well and resist creasing. Fits run from slim to relaxed, so a slimmer cut suits a tucked, dressed up look while a roomier body is easier to wear open and layered. Check the measurements on each product page and size up if you plan to wear a tee underneath. To keep a shirt sharp, wash cool, do up the buttons before washing, and hang to dry so the collar and cuffs keep their shape.
