The Thursday Buy: The Taylor Stitch Short-Sleeve Jack Shirt is a Vibrant Summer Style Move

Every so often, especially in the breezy and colorful days of summer, a guy’s wardrobe can use a bit of a shake-up: More color, more pattern, more vibrancy and a change of pace from the norm. So while the Oxford shirt is a time-honored staple and certainly suitable for the office and a more formal happy hour or date night, there are ways to change up your rotation in summer-friendly fashion, all the while feeling physically cooler and looking, well, just as cool in general.

The Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt, at least in my experience, is a near-perfect version of the best Oxford shirt for men, with a tailored fit, a flattering collar, a length that makes it perfect to be worn tucked in or untucked, and unmatched versatility to go along with it all.

Now, take that tried-and-true, best-selling silhouette — the brand was founded to make the perfect dress shirt for men, after all — and retool for summer in terms of length, the short-sleeve shake-up and a series of pattern options that are a breezy blast. A perfect wardrobe addition right now? Very possibly yes, my friends.

The Taylor Stitch Short-Sleeve Jack Shirt is just about everything you might be looking for in a casual summer shirt that’s primed for beach days, boardwalk strolls, lakeside hangs and cold beer all around. The range of stylish pattern options is just plain fun, particularly the Magnolia print shown above.

Your new favorite short-sleeve shirt is billed by the San Francisco style icon as “a warm-weather take on our signature Jack, finished with a custom print developed by artist David Flynn,” and that’s a conversation piece in and of itself (you know, as you supervise grilling or grab another cold one from the cooler).

Made from a blend of linen and cotton, this shirt should be primed to deliver lightweight comfort and dashing style points all the same. Taylor Stitch kept its signature tailored fit and perfectly untucked length intact, while the buttondown collar remains another winning point for the brand.

In fact, the company probably said it best when they noted that the is “a natural choice for days that call for something with a bit more character.” If that sounds like a slight shake-up your style rotation could use, you’re certainly in luck when you try the Taylor Stitch Short-Sleeve Jack Shirt on for size.

The best men’s short-sleeve shirts are more easygoing than a long-sleeved Oxford shirt, for instance, and can be worn in more ways than a polo shirt. Oh, and if you’ve got the chance to snag your new favorite shirt on sale? That’s all the better, because striking while the iron is hot never fails — at least, that’s held true when I’ve shopped the Huckberry Sale section.

Wellen, for the uninitiated, is the sustainable in-house brand at Huckberry, and they make use of eco-friendly materials like 100 percent organic cotton. That’s also the case with your new favorite short-sleeve shirt, but it gets better from there.

Huckberry shirt review.

That’s because the Wellen Easy Cotton Short-Sleeve Shirt is space-dyed (or rather, each shirt is space-dyed), so no two shirts are exactly alike. The process creates a textured effect that makes this stylish shirt look much more expensive than its currently on-sale price tag of $73.

The use of space-dying also means the Wellen Easy Cotton Short-Sleeve Shirt is a distinctive take on the traditional short-sleeve striped shirt — and again, that’s never a bad thing to have close at hand this summer.
