Are you sweating balls yet? I thought you might be, so here is a list of my favorite summer short sleeve shirts right now. They pair with jeans as well as shorts. Enjoy!
Paige Hoover Graphic Tee
The Paige Hoover Graphic Tee is incredibly soft, and meets my criteria for graphic tees that work for grown men. It’s available at Nordstrom and Paige.
Saturdays NYC Sunrise Sunset Graphic Tee
I love the ombre sun on the Saturdays NYC Sunrise Sunset Graphic Tee. This tee is available at Nordstrom, Ssense, and Saturdays NYC.
Faherty Endless Peaks Graphic Tee
I love the simplicity of the wave graphic on the Faherty Endless Peaks Graphic Tee.
Sol Angeles Waves T-Shirt
Sol Angeles is my go-to for men’s summer short sleeve shirts. They always have something I can offer my clients. This is another simple wave graphic that’s timeless — and the fabric is super soft.
Good Man Brand Fit Short Sleeve Aloha Floral Print Linen Shirt
The print on the Good Man Brand Slim Fit Short Sleeve Aloha Floral Print Linen Shirt is so unique. But you cannot wear this with blue jeans because, you guessed it, it is too close to the color of blue jeans. Instead, pair this with burgundy or green jeans/pants. My favorite green jeans right now are the very soft Fidelity Denim Slim Straight Jeans.
Theory Bron C Anemone Polo
This kind of retro polo is one of my favorites for fellas who have a muscular physique. It shows it off without showing it off — if you know what I mean. And the color of the Theory Bron C Anemone Polo is perfection. This polo is available at Amazon, Nordstrom, and Theory.
Vince California Print Slim Fit Short Sleeve Sport Shirt
The Vince California Print Slim Fit Short Sleeve Sport Shirt is the absolute best of the palm print summer short sleeve shirts this season. It is super soft and extremely lightweight.
Ted Baker London Stowart Slim Fit Bird Graphic T-Shirt
Ted Baker has done it again. This pinky shade of the Ted Baker London Stowart Slim Fit Bird Graphic T-Shirt may not work on most skin tones. But it will be amazing on very dark skin tones and very light skin tones. If you’re a Caucasian with a tan, you’ll have to skip this one.
Good Man Brand Slim Fit Pacific Floral Print Sport Shirt
Again, the Good Man Brand Slim Fit Pacific Floral Print Sport Shirt is so soft. And this floral print shirt is great for men on the shorter side.
Ted Baker London Hotsun Slim Fit Graphic T-Shirt
Speaking of the best, the Ted Baker London Hotsun Slim Fit Graphic T-Shirt is one of the best graphic tees I have seen in ages. I don’t even mind the brand written on it.
Tip: It runs long, so tall men can rejoice. But I am requesting that my shorter clients hem it. (Yes, you can hem a t-shirt.)
Sol Angeles Sunbeams Regular Fit V-Neck T-Shirt
This vintage tee is like a second skin and is perfect for an effortless look. It’s that Sol Angeles flare again.
AllSaints Shield Slim Fit Camp Shirt
This AllSaints Shield Slim Fit Camp Shirt is completely unique and pajama-soft. Pair it with grey and light-colored blue jeans. And make sure the pink in the shirt is not too close to your skin tone.
Sol Angeles Cali Groove V-neck
Yeah, these guys again. This time with the Sol Angeles Cali Groove V-neck. I tell my clients who don’t surf, but who want to wear this shirt to respond to anyone who asks if they surf with either of these two sentences: “I don’t surf yet.” Or, “I appreciate surfing.”
