MENSWEAR: THE CAMP SHIRT

 

Dress it up or dress it down, the camp shirt is the ultimate fashion convertible. From beach parties to weddings, you can rely on this fashion staple for it all.


Adding color and personality to your wardrobe doesn’t have to be intimidating — in fact, it can be downright fun and easy, too.

With menswear constantly evolving and trends leaving as quickly as they come in, it’s a relief to know one can always rely on the camp shirt to be on trend. Its distinct style features a button-up fit, flat and wide collar, and an overall relaxed feel.

The camp shirt or the ‘Cuban collar shirt’ (aka: the ‘resort shirt’) comes in a wide range of prints and patterns — stripes, florals, and geometric designs — to suit any style preference or personal taste.

Whether you prefer bright hues, bold prints, or subtle pastels, there’s a camp shirt for everyone.

Even the world’s most famous and stylish men — the likes of Miguel, David Beckham, Brad Pitt, Alexander Skarsgaard, Cole Sprouse, Justin Bieber, and Wiz Khalifa 🤙— have worn their own version of a camp shirt.

From bold and eye-catching to subtle and understated, over a pair of worn-out jeans or under a fine suit, there’s no wrong way to style a camp shirt.
