The guys at Taylor Stitch are always a go-to for us for shirts and this waffle-weave, textured organic cotton number gets more interesting the more you look at it. The lay-flat camp collar is a relaxed summer style aesthetic, and eye-catching colour options like this striped khaki iteration provide a pleasing change of pace.

Flint & Tinder Indigo Camp Shirt | $98

The deep blue hues of of this Flint & Tinder Shirt are normally associated with denim, but will fade just as beautifully on a waffle-textured cotton such as this. Though not as eye-catching as some of the patterns here, the texture will stand out more and more over the years, creating a design unique the adventures you take it on.

Seager Co Whippersnapper Shirt | $75

The Seager Co Whippersnapper is an exclusive design that hits on the aesthetic of the ’60s and ‘70s, but it’s brought forward into the 21st century courtesy of the easy-open snaps and the lightweight blend of cotton and recycled polyester. Throw it on and take it off in between cooling swim sessions on the river.

Marine Layer Selvage Shirt | $98

We trust Marine Layer with our summer apparel especially for shirts. The Faded Olive S/S shirt calls to mind the colour palette you might find on the foggy Mendocino coast, but the real winner here is the subtly detailed slub yarn selvage fabric that feels like it could’ve been pulled right from old man’s closet.

Flint & Tinder Retro Hawaiian Shirt | $78

The humble Hawaiian shirt, prized for its easygoing sensibility and the good vibes you pick up from every tropical print is a must for summer. It’s a true emblem of Hawaii, the kind the team at Huckberry loves to seek out — yet, this one is done with a decidedly Flint and Tinder twist, as it is inspired directly by the one James Bond sported in Die Another Day.

Wellen Snap Shirt | $88

Can you have too much of a good thing? As in, too many terry cotton button-downs that feel unreasonable soft? In short – no. We have a feeling this shirt might be a favourite of one secret agent in particular, with three useful patch pockets, a super-soft fabric construction and an easy-on, easy-off snap-front design.

When you hit the beach this summer, you get to break out of your typical style tropes in a way that’s refreshing and fun. With Rhythm’s Vacation Shirt you will be keeping it simple, and you’re a winner in our book. Rhythm’s design here was inspired by the Land Down Under, but we think these beachy, surfy stripes look at home anywhere the sand meets the sea.
