👋 Shirt + summer = possible!

Wearing a shirt during warm weather doesn't have to mean sweating all day. In fact, if you choose the right fabric, fit and styling, a shirt can feel lighter and cooler than a regular T-shirt. 😎

From workdays to terrace drinks or city holidays: with the tips below, you'll stay sharp and sweat-free — even at 30°C.

🌬️ 1. Choose the right fabric

Not all shirts are created equal — especially when it comes to breathability.

✅ Ideal summer fabrics:

• Cotton (preferably poplin or twill): breathable and moisture-absorbing

• Linen: very light and perfect for warm climates

• Cotton-linen blends: a good balance of softness and airiness

🚫 Avoid:

• Polyester or synthetic blends (they trap heat)

• Heavy materials like flannel or denim

👉 Vercate shirts use premium cotton blends designed to stay cool and crisp in summer. View collection

🧵 2. Get the right fit

A shirt that fits well — not too tight, not too loose — will allow airflow and feel more comfortable than baggy clothes.

Tips:

• Choose a regular fit for more movement

• Go for a soft collar, no thick interfacing

• Unbutton the top 1–2 buttons for ventilation

📝 Rolling up the sleeves? Always a good idea.

🩳 3. Pair with the right bottoms

Style your shirt smart-casual with:

• Light chinos (beige, sand, olive, light grey)
  👉 Explore Vercate’s chino selection

• Smart tailored shorts

• Minimal sneakers, loafers or espadrilles

🎯 Bonus: tuck in just the front (French tuck) for a relaxed silhouette.
