And today, it all comes together quite nicely as we close out Memorial Day weekend by diving into a deal on one of the best chambray shirts for men, especially one crafted by my friends at Pennsylvania-based American Trench.

And it’s not just any old deal: It’s savings of 40 percent on an American-made chambray shirt, a rarity in the menswear market and one that delivers style and utility in spades. That holds true in any season, but especially summer, when the American Trench Chambray Shirt can function as a light overshirt on a cool morning, before you shed that layer for an American-made T-shirt.

Best men's chambray shirt.

The American Trench Chambray Shirt is crafted from lightweight yet breathable chambray, of course, and that durable fabric can work wonders for your wardrobe. It’s also cut and sewn in America (again, a rarity in the menswear world these days).

Best chambray shirt for men.

When you need a restock or a refresh of summer menswear essentials, it pays off to go right to the source — if what you seek is a rugged take on a classic, of course. And in this case, that source is Filson, the legendary Pacific Northwest purveyor of some of the best outdoor gear on the planet.

That very much includes one of the best chambray shirts for men, a pick that — in my experience — delivers hard-wearing, work-ready performance as well as versatile style.

You see, the Filson Short-Sleeve Chambray Shirt is a timeless style that does just about anything asked of it. If you want a workwear layer for a day in the yard or on the trail, for instance, the durable chambray weave stands up to anything.

And if you want an easygoing, stylish men’s short-sleeve shirt to wear buttoned up alongside the best summer shorts this season — say, at a summer BBQ — then this handsome chambray shirt delivers handily. The midweight cotton chambray should wear plenty well even in the heat, while details like button chest pockets provide space for everyday carry essentials.

Best chambray shirt for men.

And in my experience, the Filson Short-Sleeve Chambray Shirt should offer enough room to layer easily atop a classic Filson T-shirt if need be — although I’d also recommend buttoning this shirt up and styling it untucked alongside your favorite chinos. It’s even crafted with a pencil slot in the left chest pocket, a handy detail that makes the Filson Short-Sleeve Chambray Shirt a true workwear classic. Again, if it’s rugged essentials you seek, Filson has you more than covered.

The Tuesday Steal: This Versatile Everyday Shirt from Bonobos Is Now 30 Percent Off

Bonobos men's shirts.

Sometimes, dressing in style and hitting the ground running is all about taking the guesswork out of, well, getting dressed. To me, that means having a solid selection of picks I can count on, as we so often talk about here at The Style Guide, and that works from the ground up to one of the best everyday shirts.

And although I often favor more rugged selections like a chambray shirt or a denim shirt, there’s nothing quite like the versatility you get from one of the best Oxford shirts.

Yes, it’s a preppy style staple, but companies like Bonobos are making the Oxford shirt one you can wear reliably in off-duty, non-work situations — the Bonobos Everyday Bedford Shirt is a prime example of that, and it’s on sale today.

Yes indeed — for 30 percent off right now, you can get the Bonobos Everyday Oxford Shirt in a year-round fabric weight (in this case, a sturdy but supple Bedford cord). Keep in mind that this fabric is heavier than Oxford cotton, but not as thick or textured as corduroy itself.

This makes it ideal for year-round wear, in my experience. Plus, the cut is expertly crafted for wearing untucked or tucked in — that’s the kind of versatility that, in my experience, can go a long way.

Bonobos men's shirt review.

After all, how many types of stylish men’s shirts can you wear to the office with some of the best Bonobos chinos and a lightweight blazer, as well as untucked alongside grey stretch jeans and suede chukka boots? Those are just two ways in which your new favorite shirt takes the cake, so to speak, and the price makes it quite tough to pass up, too.

Shop must-have menswear at Bonobos now

And colors like Sea Blue and Dusty Blue turn the typical men’s shirt on its head, a change of pace from crisp white or even a standard light blue. So, to recap: We’ve got a stylish men’s shirt in a distinct set of unique colors, made to be worn with multiple ensembles in mind, and it’s on sale? That’s a winner in my book, so add this number to your cart ASAP.

Style Pick of the Week: Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt in Indigo Oxford – A New Twist on a Classic Men’s Shirt

Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt review.

The adage “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” sometimes doesn’t apply to menswear classics. Or rather, it can be turned on its head every now and again, especially if it’s one of the best online menswear brands — that’d be Taylor Stitch — doing the updating of a tried-and-true favorite. In this case, that favorite is the classic Oxford shirt, and the Taylor Stitch Jack Oxford Shirt is a signature attempt at revamping a timeless style.

Editor’s note: Thank you to Taylor Stitch for providing a new Taylor Stitch Jack Oxford Shirt for the purposes of this review. All opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting brands that support The Style Guide!

Taylor Stitch, after all, set out to make one of the best men’s shirts on the market well over a decade ago, refining its first shirts in a garage before gradually ramping up production and becoming a true, do-it-all menswear brand.

Best Oxford shirt for men.

And the great news? They’ve still hit the mark in terms of making some of the best men’s shirts even as the brand has grown, using high-quality materials (in this case, a just-right, 6.5oz. organic cotton) and premium touches like tailored, nicely fitting chest sizing.

In my experience, the rich Indigo color shown here — my selection for this men’s shirting review, if you happen to follow me on Instagram — is a knockout, with a deep blue color and a soft, garment-washed fabric for plenty of comfort.

In my experience, Taylor Stitch men’s shirts simply hit the mark, no matter what you’re asking of them. I’ve worn my Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt in Indigo Oxford with dark brown chinos, with contrasting black selvedge denim and with grey jeans — tucked in beneath a cotton blazer or untucked for casually cool style. I’ve found that the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt fits supremely well, with a length that hits just right tucked in or even untucked.

Quality craftsmanship, including reinforced buttons and soft-yet-durable fabrics, also help make this stylish Oxford shirt a daily workhorse in my wardrobe. And that’s the other thing: My Taylor Stitch review found that the Jack Shirt’s variety and versatility is nearly unmatched.

It comes in a range of colors and fabrications based on the season, this year’s offering included. You’d do very well indeed to pick up what could quickly become your new favorite shirt — take it from me, because in this instance, Taylor Stitch did a stellar job of updating a classic.

Pieces that stand the test of time in your wardrobe, whether through style points, utility or classic looks — or a combination of all three — are to be treasured and worn as often as possible, in my opinion. And if you’ve been reading the blog as of late, you know that hardly a brand out there hits those three tentpoles quite like legendary Pacific Northwest outfitter Filson.

From some of the best waxed jackets to sturdy T-shirts, durable blue jeans, hard-wearing work pants and some of the finest tool and travel bags on the market, Filson menswear lives up to its mission, and then some. Take the Filson Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt. It’s been in the company’s rotation for years, and with good reason.

Filson Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt review.

As the company says, it’s a lighter-weight version of its iconic Alaskan Guide Shirt, which is typically made with burlier, thicker fabric to serve as a hard-working overshirt or even a mid-layer in especially brisk conditions.

The Filson Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt uses sturdy yet breathable 6oz. 100 percent cotton twill for a tightly woven layer that works as a breezy shirt jacket of sorts over a T-shirt, or else a buttondown to be worn with ease beneath your favorite denim jacket. Of course, the hits keep rolling from there.

This rugged shirt (or shirt jacket) is fit for work or play, thanks to that durable weave and a relaxed fit that encourages layering. That holds true whether you rock it over a USA-made T-shirt, worn unbuttoned on a spring day, or else atop a rugged long-sleeve henley for brisk seasonal mornings and nights.

Helpfully, the Filson Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt features oversized front-button chest pockets for easy storage of everyday carry essentials, and it comes in a massive array of sizes. Plus, a handful of distinct, timeless and tasteful color options provide variety for your spring and summer wardrobe (and beyond). For the brisk, breezy days ahead this season, layer up with the Filson Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt — it’s a move you won’t regret.

The Sunday Sale: Everlane’s Classic Poplin Shirt Is Now More Than 50 Percent Off

It always pays off to stock your wardrobe with versatile menswear essentials that stand the test of time — that can include everything from a crisp pair of the best blue jeans, to a versatile white T-shirt, right through to something a little more elevated. Or rather, something that’s both elevated and yet slightly easygoing, like the Everlane Poplin Shirt.

It’s a touch more crisp than an Oxford shirt, using a softer, more lightweight fabric, yet Everlane gets the details right in a fit that’s practically made for layering beneath a variety of high-low style staples — be it a navy crewneck sweatshirt or a navy blazer.

And the occasion for today’s Sunday Sale rundown covering what might just be your new favorite shirt? Well, the Everlane Poplin Shirt is now on sale for more than 50 percent off — that drops it down to just $30, a heck of a steal for a shirt that could become an everyday staple.

As Everlane notes, this tightly woven poplin shirt manages to be breathable yet durable, a nice design feature as we move into breezy spring (and eventually, summer) days. The details on the Everlane Poplin Shirt are easy to dress up or dress down — note the point collar, which can even be paired up with a navy knit tie (in either its White or Light Blue editions).

The breast pocket also gives it the same versatile feel as an Oxford shirt, with a touch more polish, thanks to the crisp poplin fabric. And it’s worth noting that once again, the Everlane Poplin Shirt is on sale for more than 50 percent off. How’s that for a shirt that can do it all? Not bad at all, my friends — not bad at all.

See Now, Buy Now: This Todd Snyder Western Shirt is a Rugged-Meets-Refined Update

Todd Snyder men's Western shirt.

As I scour the market for the best menswear essentials, I tend to turn regularly to reliable designers and brands I can trust (like Todd Snyder), and then I look for the unexpected. Pieces that are classic and versatile, with a rugged appeal — like one of the best men’s denim shirts, for instance — and pieces that are also done in ways that are slightly different than the rest.

Learn more now at Todd Snyder

Take the Todd Snyder Denim Western Shirt, for instance. Like, say, the Todd Snyder Lambswool Sweater, it’s the famed designer’s own take on a certified classic, done in ways only the award-winning designer can do.

In the case of this handsome denim shirt, it starts with premium 100 percent cotton denim from Albini, makers of fine fabric overseas since the 1870s. It’s also available in a handsome Medium Blue, but the deep, inky blue indigo of this style is my personal favorite.

Todd Snyder denim shirt for men.

From there, the Todd Snyder Denim Western Shirt (which is made in Portugal) uses a classic Western shirt cut, complete with iconic details like contrast golden stitching, a front yoke stitching design and pearl snap buttons.

Yet, it’s the use of that soft yet durable Italian denim fabric that gives it a more refined look and feel, although that denim should surely get better with age, whether layered up over your favorite henley or worn on its own underneath a classic shawl cardigan.

And since it’s Todd Snyder, I can say you should rest easy knowing that the Todd Snyder Denim Western Shirt is made to last and worth the extra cash above other more typical denim shirts. It’s more casual than Todd Snyder Oxford shirts or dress shirts, but your wardrobe needs rugged-meets-refined options, and the Todd Snyder Denim Western Shirt certainly fits the bill nicely this season.

Best casual flannel shirt for men.

A guy’s wardrobe, especially in the busy holiday season (it’s nearly December, after all!) calls for variety, versatility and comfort — oh, and winter warmth, in most cases. Where’s a well-dressed man like yourself to turn? I’m a supporter of many an online brand with a narrow focus (like pants or stylish leather boots), but I also appreciate when a company branches out beyond its specialty into new, complementary territory.

Take The Tie Bar. Yes, the brand has long made a vast selection of wildly affordable men’s ties, but the company now does everything from the best white dress shirt to the best shawl cardigan. And now, you can add your new favorite flannel shirt to that list.

The Tie Bar has also outfitted it with other details that place the Tie Bar Rugged Plaid Blue Casual Shirt squarely in a more laidback realm: Take the Oxford shirt-esque buttondown collar and the chest pocket.
