Style
The short-sleeve shirt is having a moment. A massive moment, in the spotlight, on top of a giant podium, with torrents of Britain’s Got Talent golden tinsel dropping down around it. It’s a summer 2016 success story, if ever we saw one.
You see, long gone are the days when you’d associate this smart-casual staple with your sartorially challenged uncle on the Costa Del Sol, lapping up his daily Full English on the beach whilst really working on that sunburnt scalp. Or with the office bore who always felt the need to keep a Bluetooth hands-free kit lodged in his ear and never stopped boasting about the “serious motorway miles I've racked up in the BMW this week.” Now, thanks to Hawaiian and floral prints back in business along with the dad-style trend, it was only a matter of time before the much maligned Tom Selleck favourite triumphantly rose out from the back of your wardrobe and onto the backs of fashion’s finest trend-setters.
Of course, if you needed further proof of its so-hot-right-now status, just check out the high street. Everyone from Adidas to Reiss, Weekend Offender to Jigsaw are cutting the sleeves off at the biceps, meaning you're spoilt for choice in your search for an on-trend button-up. To ease up the decision making, we’ve pulled out ten of our favourites. Check them out, add to your basket and give those arms some seriously stylish tanning time while the sun’s still out.
