Button Up Short Sleeve Shirt

The short sleeve shirt earns its place by being the least complicated thing in your wardrobe. Buttons up the front, a collar that sits flat, a pocket on the chest, and seam detail through the body so it follows your shape instead of hanging square. That is the whole design, and there is nothing here that will date.

The fabric is 95% polyester with 5% spandex, which makes it slightly stretchy, so the shoulders move with you and the buttons stay where they should. Sizes run S through 3XL. A size S measures 25.2 inches in top length with a 40.6 inch bust, an 11.2 inch sleeve and a 15.7 inch shoulder; the 3XL reaches 27.2 inches long with a 50.8 inch bust and a 19.5 inch shoulder. The shoulder measurement is worth checking, since that is where a shirt usually gives itself away.

Six colours, split neatly between work and weekend. White, sky blue and light gray are the ones that go under a blazer and behind a desk. Black is the sharp evening option. Green and red are for when you want the shirt to be the outfit. Tuck it into tailored trousers with loafers, or leave it open over a tank with denim shorts. It also works as a light layer over a swimsuit, which is more than most shirts can say.
