Bonobos was born because founders, Andy Dunn & Brian Spaly, couldn’t find men’s pants that fit (they were either too tight or too boxy) and wanted to fix this common problem men face while shopping. They fixed it with their not-so-secret secret: all Bonobos’ pants have a curved waistband that conforms to the natural shape of men’s waists. Bonobos then expanded into producing awesome shirts, suits, swimwear; you name a piece of men’s clothing, they do it!

Bonobos shirts are perfect for summer as they come in a huge variety of colours and patterns that are bold and fresh for warmer weather. Available in a wide range of fits, Bonobos’ men’s summer shirts are made from either a cotton blend or a nylon blend, both very breathable and lightweight.

Is there anything Everlane can’t do? We can’t think of much. The US retailer consistently smashes it out of the park when it comes to menswear, utilising premium fabrics, cutting them to perfect dimensions and selling them for affordable prices. The fact they’re a sustainable and ethical brand only adds to their appeal.

For your men’s summer shirts needs, Everlane has adopted linen for its shirt collection. Calling it the “official fabric of summer”, Everlane’s linen shirt comes in a standard fit, which means it won’t hug you tightly, which is ideal. Well-fitting and well-priced, it’s a truly versatile piece for summer.

With beachside vibes and a chilled lifestyle running through its veins, Outerknown definitely knows how to outfit guys for summer. The brand, from surfer Kelly Slater, is incredibly sustainable in its approach to clothing, using recycled materials across virtually all collections.

For all your summer needs, Outerknown has a thoughtfully designed selection of men’s summer shirts, which are made from a blend of modal and polyester. Modal is derived from beech tree pulp, furthering Outerknown’s commitment to sustainability. It’s incredibly breathable too and absorbs sweat far better than cotton. A win-win, if you ask us.

Eton Shirts is a specialist when it comes to all things collars, sleeves and buttons. Catering to all needs and seasons, Eton Shirts really does has something for everybody, but it’s the men’s summer shirts collection that has really caught our attention.

That is primarily because of the brand’s linen overshirt. Taking a classically winter piece but making it from a summery fabric is a genius move in our eyes. It can function as standalone shirt in its own right, or work as the perfect layering piece, so you can leave you thick, warm jacket at home. You’ll also find other shirts made from silk and lightweight denim, to complete your casual looks.

We’re pretty bowled over by the change in brand identity Abercrombie has put itself through. Skinny and slim fits were once put front and centre, and only those with six-pack abs need apply. That has all gone, and in its place is a refreshingly stylish collection of clothing that can appeal to guys from all walks of life.

The summer shirt collection embodies that well, with linen and cotton/viscose blend fabrics replacing the heavyweight cotton of old. Floral prints, neutral and pastel colours, and loose fits – coupled with seriously affordable prices – makes Abercrombie a dark horse in the menswear game.

Australian menswear brand Venroy is a serious lover of linen, which in turn means it’s a go-to brand for summer. And if it’s not made from linen, it’s likely going to be made from a linen blend, but either way, materials are sourced in sustainable ways wherever possible.

Venroy’s men’s summer shirts collection is a mixture of linen or linen-blend, with long-sleeves being the main attraction. Roll them up, leave them down, it matters not, as the fabrics are ready to tackle the searing heat.

For one of the largest ranges of shirts, you’ll likely come across, head to Tommy Bahama. The brand name alone should give away what to expect, tropical-inspired designs, loose fits and summer-friendly colours.

And that’s exactly what you get. Much of the men’s summer shirts collection is made from a blend of cotton and Tencel, one of the best defences against the summer sun, and even though the shirt designs are slightly more appropriate for your dad, we can be confident you’ll find something to add to your own collection.
