“Approach with caution,” warns personal stylist Daniel Johnson. “This style is not for the thicker necked bloke. Make sure to get it right on the body too, or it’ll look like a pajama top.

“The golden rule, as ever with short sleeves is make them fit to the arm - baggy sleeves make arms look skinnier and skinny arms make a chest look smaller - not great.”

“There is nothing like the smooth, formal appearance of good quality two-fold poplin cotton for an everyday work shirt,” says Willis. “Textures such as twills, oxfords, and herringbones are perfect for a more casual shirt giving interest without a tie, but for that immaculate, clean, no-nonsense business look a plain white or palest blue gleaming with quality poplin shirt and tie cannot be beaten.”

Classic Short Sleeve Shirt

A short-sleeve shirt works with most summer legwear from shorts and chinos to lighter denim and linen trousers.

Wear casually, usually without tucking it in. Make certain the sleeve ends no higher than mid-bicep and never wear it with a suit.
