During this season, when the sun is shining nicely, we like to wear polos, t-shirts, but also the short-sleeved shirt. The nice thing about a short-sleeved shirt is that it can look dressed up when it's not a jacket-and-tie occasion. A short-sleeved shirt is perfectly fine for a party, on the terrace, and it's nice and cool at higher temperatures.
NO, that's not done! If you wear a suit or blazer, then in most cases that's in situations where you have to look presentable. When wearing a suit, it's important that the cuffs of a shirt stick out from under the blazer sleeves. Bare wrists sticking out from under a suit or blazer give a shabby impression, and that's something you definitely don't want when you have to look presentable. Is it very warm? Then wear a cotton long-sleeved linen shirt. This keeps you feeling fresh for longer.
If the suit and/or blazer isn't needed, then you can opt for a short-sleeved shirt. Short sleeves are especially suitable when you're dressed casually or when it's very warm. For business situations, you can choose a smart short-sleeved shirt in a fine cotton quality with a firm collar. In that case, don't go for a print that's too busy, but for a plain shirt or a shirt with a subtle print, think for example of a thin stripe. In your free time you can go all out with a casual short-sleeved shirt with a busy.
You can go for an all-over print, Hawaii, flowers, fruit, the choice is yours, but then keep the trousers or bermuda shorts simple. A plain chino, jeans or shorts is then always good. If you choose a plain short-sleeved shirt in a fresh cotton or extra cool in a linen shirt, then your trousers or bermuda shorts can of course be in a fun colour or print. If you go for the short-sleeved linen shirt, then you go for creases, but that comes with linen. Are you going for the really trendy casual look? Then you wear the short-sleeved shirt over your trousers or bermuda shorts. Finish off your outfit with trendy sneakers, boots or a loafer.
