You can’t beat a short-sleeved shirt for a day out in the summer sun. Here’s five that will keep you cool while also looking good.

Yes the weather might be as changeable as a three-month old baby right now but we’re an optimistic bunch in here so we’re hoping for another long hot summer. And if that does come to pass, you’ll need to have a few short-sleeved shirts in your locker.

More formal than a t-shirt or polo, they go with everything from shorts to jeans and are a real wardrobe must.

A short-sleeved denim shirt is bang on trend and this effort by Goodsouls is perfect. It’s just the right shade of blue and will look great with whatever you decide to throw on underneath it.

The Goodsouls folks also have a dark blue, linen-mix shirt that should also suit every man out there. The material will mean you are kept nice and cool and if you go for the buttoned top button look, the collar on this shirt really looks great.

But blue shouldn’t be the only colour in your wardrobe, especially in summer. If you don’t want to be too bold, this red gingham print from Ben Sherman is perfect to lift your outfit. This shirt also looks great with jeans.

If you want to be a little braver, then this great green shirt by Goodsouls is a fantastic buy. On sale for just €17, this cotton short will look great with khaki pants or shorts, pastel chinos or even jeans.

Finally, if you really want to be bang on trend then this effort by Fly53 is just the ticket. Floral/jungle prints are massive this summer but some of the designs in the shops are just too garish for words. This one, with its use of a muted khaki/beige base and a red leaf motif is understated yet right on the money.

Those are a few great options to get the latest styles into your wardrobe, but there’s plenty more available from our mates over at Littlewoods Ireland who have all the latest trends at great prices.
