Sophisticated

The washed cotton shirt.  In the last few years, this shirt has come of age as being a really great choice.

Additionally, if you get long sleeve, you can wear pull them up short for a nice look and airflow during the day, but bring the sleeves back down in the afternoon if the climate cools off in less humid climates.  

Best of all, these shirts are good from early spring until late fall. They also come in a variety of colors and patterns to help you customize your style presence.  They also look nice when your lady wears them too in certain situations, such as on the beach, or elsewhere.  #jcrew

Classic

Linen Shirt. Probably the most notable shirts out there right now, the linen shirt is appearing on shelves in almost every retailer, and high end clothing boutique.

Solid colors work best, with a fitted or slightly loose fit.  If you go to the beach or topics, they a loose fit works really well.  Plaid is nice when its not cluttered, and the same goes with stripes.  Patterns such as paisleys are really nice with bright colors or traditional colors such as blue and white that are light or appear faded.  #clubmonaco #bananarepublic
