A men's casual dress shirt, like this one from 3.1 Philip Lim, can be worn under a linen blazer for a fresh look that is perfect for a warm summer day. Casual dress shirts are one of the most versatile items that a man can own. They can be dressed up or down and go great with a wide range of fashions.
Consider The Fabric
The fabric that a shirt is made from can determine if it is appropriate for dress or casual wear. This striped denim dress shirt by Rag and Bone is perfect to wear alone or as a lightweight jacket. The darker denim makes it look stylish and updated.
Soft Hues
A button-down shirt done in a soft color is ideal for warmer months. Pair it with a pair of khakis for a casual Friday outfit or wear it with a pair of white pants for an afternoon date. This Rag and Bone light blue striped shirt is done in loose-fitting style that is comfortable but still will look polished.
Wardrobe Staple
Every man should own at least one white button-down shirt. This piece can be paired with just about anything to create a range of looks. Try one over a brightly colored top for an added pop of color that complements your outfit. Billy Reid does just that with this piece and adds a casual coat to complete the ensemble.
Basic White
A casual white dress shirt, like this one from the collection of Mik Cire, can be worn under a wool winter jacket to create a classic look that can be worn anywhere. No tie is needed when a dress shirt is worn casually rather than for dress.
Embrace Your Individuality
This shirt from Marc by Marc Jacobs is done in chocolate brown and black and is far from your ordinary button-down.
Since men's casual dress shirts come in endless colors, fabrics and styles, there is no reason not to have at least one that shows off your personality. Have fun with prints and colors, and choose a shirt that will turn heads and make you the center of attention.
