Heat is coming soon and thick unbreathable fabrics, long sleeves and fitting clothes will make us oversweat for sure. To feel more comfortable on a hot day, wear a short sleeve button down, this is a universal thing for a man’s wardrobe. Many stylists say that a short sleeve shirt is a worse idea than a long sleeve one as you may cuff the sleeves and it will look more elegant but layers of fabric may create overheating, too, and I know that most men have a short sleeve button down and will wear it anyway. Let’s find out how to do that with style.
What Short Sleeve Button Down To Choose?
A short sleeve button down is a piece for mostly spring and summer outfits, that means it’s better to choose natural and breathable fabrics like cotton and linen. Oversized designs will let air flow and you won’t feel too hot, besides, oversized clothes are a bold trend. if you want something more elegant, choose a semi-fitting model at least. As for colors, neutrals like creamy or black are absolutely universal, so such a piece will be a win-win idea. Though, if you have a lot of basic clothes and want something bold, choose vertical stripes, florals and bold colors, this is especially great for vacation looks.
