Casual shirts, or basics, as they’re often called, are essential for every man, no matter what your age or where you work, because just like the name alludes, you can literally wear and layer it with everything. However, there will come a time when you might have worn something so much; it’ll inevitably have to be demoted to your only-worn-at-home-or-on-errands pile.

So right on cue, just like a present being delivered straight into your wardrobe, we’ve compiled the best casual shirts to help bridge that flexible-working and semi-sociable gap.

Crafted from heavyweight organic cotton twill with buttons made from naturally fallen tagua palm nuts, the Outerknown Blanket Shirt is durable enough to be your go-to work shirt but soft enough to throw on and wear around a chilly house all day long.
