Silk the fabric is undoubtedly pricey, however many (in fact most) silk shirts are not entirely made of the material, in fact some contain none of it whatsoever and a cursory glance at the care label will reveal as much rayon, cupro and satin alternatives capture the same effect at a much more approachable price point. While the mind immediately jumps to camp collars-which, mind you, are a great option-even a long sleeved silk shirt is light and breathable enough for the hottest days, and perfect for chilly summer nights.Īlthough you may assume silk is expensive-and, let’s be clear, for the most part it absolutely is-there are plenty of options that will not break the bank. While, for many, the summer outfit is a combination of cotton twill shorts, white sneakers and light linens, for those looking for a way to spruce things up while staying cool, the silk shirt is a summer must. But, for those in the know one summer garment reigns supreme: the silk shirt.

We love shorts, sunglasses and, yes, T-shirts as much as the next guy.
