Crisp shirts to signal the start of summer in the city

The summer shirt is a seasonal staple that ensures you look put-together even when the humidity heightens, and some looks start to go sideways. Crisp cotton styles are a breeze to wear, whether your pair yours tucked into leather skirts, flowing over tailored pants or layered under a statement dress.

While the versatile style is timeless, the trends can be delineated this season by the sleeve length — whether they are long, t-shirt, or simply non-existent. Choose your inner-city confidence boost below.
