The 15 Best Short Sleeve Button-Ups to Wear All Summer Long
The sun doesn't set before 7 PM anymore, and the sky is bluer than usual, and, hell, I'd even dare to say the birds are chirping just a little bit more. It's spring, baby.
Everyone has their favorite part about spring, but mine is the fashion. It's time for short sleeves! Lightweight fabrics! Breezy, billowy styles—linen! Oh, it's just the best time of the year. And there's really no better way to celebrate spring and anticipate the heat of summer than by shoving your long sleeve button-ups to the back of your closet, and bringing your short sleeve button-ups to the front.
The short sleeve button-up is a cool, casual style. You can certainly dress it up with trousers and loafers, if you're headed to the office. If you're not—wear it on the weekends, to the park, to the bar, on vacation. Jeans or shorts (or even swim trunks, when appropriate) pair perfectly. The style is low-maintenance, but thanks to the collars and buttons, a little bit chicer and smarter than a simple T-shirt. It's one of the best parts of the warmer seasons, and now's the time to start stocking your closet with the classiest styles of the year.
Whether you're looking for something plain or embroidered, a performance shirt or a lightweight shirt, we've got it right here. Take these guys out for a spin in spring, and hold on to this list for summer, too—you're going to love these styles so much, you'll keep coming back for more.
