Men's summer shirts

Cotton shirts

The most common fabric for a cool shirt offering maximum freedom of movement is definitely cotton.

Ideal to combat the summer heat, this natural fibre is used to create lightweight, comfortable clothing, both casual and elegant in style.

The two most frequently used fabrics are:
cotton poplin, from which a smooth yarn is obtained, very soft to the touch and with a compact texture.
fil-à-fil cotton, made by combining cotton and linen. Extremely versatile and lightweight, this fabric is characterised by the interweaving of different coloured threads to create a kind of checkered effect which gives the shirt a more sporty look.

There are many styles of cotton shirts and countless looks to create: from vintage to sporty, from smart for ceremonies to casual for a disco on the beach. Basically, the options are endless, with stripes, checks, solid colours and patterns.

Linen shirts

One of the most popular fibres for the production of men's summer shirts is linen: hypoallergenic and soft, it's perfect in neutral or pastel colours.

Extremely resistant and breathable, linen is the ideal fabric for anyone who loves simple, light clothing with a hint of informal elegance, thanks to its refined yet casual texture.
In contact with the skin, its main quality is its ability to absorb moisture and heat, keeping the wearer cool and dry.

Silk shirts

Another ideal fabric for the summer is silk. Durable, light and elastic, silk is a fibre of natural origin suitable for the creation of breathable, summery garments.

The main characteristics of silk are shine, coolness and smoothness. Its good absorption capacity makes it perfect for summer and allows free movement without creasing.

This bright fabric is perfect for sophisticated and high-quality garments, and especially suitable for formal occasions such as ceremonies and gala evenings.
Having a silk shirt in your closet is a great way to look good at a smart event!

Chambray denim shirts

Chambray is similar to denim, but lighter and more breathable.

Perfect for the warmth of spring and early summer, chambray denim shirts offer an excellent solution for creating casual yet trendy looks.

The main characteristics and advantages of this fabric are:
Flexibility/adaptability. A chambray denim shirt can be worn on its own with cargo trousers or paired with a dark jacket to create a sporty yet refined style.
Breathability. Compared to traditional denim, chambray is lighter and allows good air circulation, thus keeping the skin cool.
Versatility in colours. The most common shades are blue, grey, green and also checked or striped prints. This gives numerous options for adapting your shirt to your personal style.
Easy maintenance. Chambray shirts can be machine-washed without problems, and are easy to care for.

Comfortable and lightweight, chambray denim is perfect for anyone who wants to be casual-chic and stay cool without sacrificing style.

Giro Inglese shirts

One of the lightest and most breathable shirt fabrics, giro inglese (or English weave) stands out as a very elastic summer fabric that gives a pleasant sensation of freshness on the skin.
Because of its texture, formed by many small hexagons that resemble the cells of a beehive, this fabric is also called honeycomb. This property lends it sheen and remarkable breathability.

Giro inglese shirts are ideal for sophisticated and chic outfits with the addition of an attractive waistcoat or a wonderful bespoke jacket; but also for more informal and casual looks with jeans and sneakers.
