Blending comfort cool with standout style, patterned shirts are a go-to for adding some serious flair while keeping those UV rays at bay. Styled by yours truly, here comes some fresh inspiration how to make a bold statement with minimal effort thanks to the summer staple.
When sporting a bold pattern on the upper part of the ensemble, keeping the rest of the outfit rather muted might be a good idea. This way, the shirt – by Pleasures, in this case – remains the focal point without overwhelming the overall look.
Incorporating more neutral pieces doesn’t mean one can’t rock other standout pieces though: Peep how the shorts harmonize with the shirt without stealing its shine, and how the sneakers avoid a clash despite their color, thanks to the well-considered space in between shirt and footwear.

Patterned shirts offer a versatile range of styles, from bold florals to subtle pinstripes. Speaking of pinstripes: To ensure that the shirt in question won’t get mistaken for a 1990s casual Friday office favorite, just opt for a slightly oversized fit.
The relaxed silhouette here adds a laid-back vibe, adds depth to the ensemble via its allover pattern, and maintains a touch of sophistication thanks to fine materials paired with equally fitting pants.

Combining a long-sleeve button-up shirt with shorts offers an eye-pleasing blend of casual and refined style: The contrast between the formality of a button-up shirt and the casual nature of shorts keeps things balanced, while it allows for easy layering and adjustments to the temperature.
Transitioning from day to night effortlessly, as in ‘just roll up or down the sleeves or button up’, this style works well for a range of occasions, from a casual brunch to a beachside dinner, merging comfort with chic elegance.
