Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt review.

With the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt, the brand has hit a nice middle ground between traditional workwear and classic buttondown shirting, using 100 percent organic cotton construction in a tough crosshatch weave. It doesn’t hurt that the shirt is reinforced with added stitching at key stress points, including at the buttonholes and seams.

In this instance, my good friends at Huckberry are offering up access to one of the best men’s shirts for summer, and it comes from a brand with strong modern heritage in terms of design and fabrication.

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.

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.

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 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.
