The men's short-sleeve shirt, the essential of summer

At Café Coton, we like the idea of rolling up our sleeves when the sunny days arrive. But we also believe that a man should be free to choose, among the entire men's shirt collection, the shirt in which he feels best. Our short-sleeve shirts offer the same attention to detail and the same demand for craftsmanship as our iconic models, in a version adapted to summer temperatures.

Made from lightweight materials such as linen or cotton, they accompany every summer moment in the city, at the office, while travelling or on holiday. The short-sleeve shirt is not a compromise. It is a choice. The choice to wear a shirt, with the same attention to detail and the same demand for craftsmanship, in a version designed for the season. At Café Coton, it follows in the continuity of our iconic models: the same collars, the same materials, the same attention paid to the cut. Simply, without the sleeves.

Which fabric for a short-sleeve shirt?

A summer shirt is judged first by the feeling it gives when you put it on.

Linen is the natural ally of the hottest days. Light, breathable and lively, it accompanies summer temperatures with that elegant nonchalance that makes all its charm.

Cotton offers a more structured look. Soft, comfortable and easy to wear every day, it naturally finds its place both at the office and for a weekend.

In the end, there is no better fabric. There is simply the one that will suit you best depending on the season, the occasion… and your way of living the summer.

Short-sleeve business or casual shirt: for which occasion?

For a long time, the short-sleeve shirt suffered from a few preconceived ideas. At Café Coton, we love shirts with rolled-up sleeves, but we also believe that the short-sleeve shirt deserves its full place.

Our men's short-sleeve shirt models are variations of our formal shirts with a buttoned collar and long sleeves, 100% cotton, so as to be perfectly suited to the office setting, business lunches and business trips during the summer period.

The collar is one of the details that set the tone. A buttoned collar naturally extends the business wardrobe, it structures the silhouette and naturally suits the office, whereas a casual collar allows more freedom, it calls for the relaxed feel of sunny days, in the spirit of our casual shirts. Plain, in fine stripes or with light patterns, it is often this style detail that determines the place it will occupy in the wardrobe. The length of the sleeves responds to the season. The collar, for its part, responds to the occasions.

Our 100% linen men's short-sleeve shirt models come in a wide palette of plain colours. They are the extension of our line of linen shirts with long sleeves and are the ideal partners for weekends, holidays and summer evenings that you like to extend.

We are convinced that it is not the shirt that makes the difference.
It is the way of wearing it.

How to wear a men's short-sleeve shirt?

The short-sleeve shirt likes simple pairings.

With chinos, it creates an elegant and easy-to-live-with silhouette. Paired with linen trousers, it naturally accompanies summer days. With well-cut Bermuda shorts, it finds its place for more relaxed moments. 

Depending on the occasion, it can be worn tucked into the trousers for a more dressed-up look, or left untucked for more relaxation. It can be worn more or less buttoned, depending on the moment and the occasion. It pairs easily with a few discreet accessories: a nice belt, a watch, a pair of sunglasses…
The rest belongs to the one who wears it.

A short-sleeve shirt rarely makes up an outfit on its own. It finds its balance in the pieces that accompany it. Loafers bring a more dressed-up look, while espadrilles or sneakers set a more casual register. Simple pairings, which let the fabric, the cut and the silhouette express themselves naturally.

What is the difference between a short-sleeve shirt and a "chemisette"?

 None. They designate exactly the same garment. The term "chemisette" belongs more to the traditional vocabulary of menswear. At Café Coton, we simply prefer to talk about shirts, whatever the length of the sleeves. Because for us, what matters above all is the quality of the cut, the fabric and the craftsmanship.

How to choose the size of a men's short-sleeve shirt?

A short-sleeve shirt is chosen with the same care as a classic shirt. The first step is to identify the cut that suits you: slim for a fitted silhouette, straight for more ease. We also recommend referring to our size guide in order to find the ideal fit.

How to care for a linen or cotton shirt?

 Linen and cotton are natural fabrics that are particularly pleasant to wear in summer. To preserve their qualities, favour washing at a moderate temperature and air-drying. Linen reveals all its character with a few natural creases, while light ironing gives it a more structured look if you wish.

What is the right sleeve length for a men's short-sleeve shirt?

At Café Coton, our short-sleeve shirts keep a classic sleeve length, designed to preserve the balance of the silhouette. What really makes the difference is less the length than the ease it provides.

In summer, a shirt should accompany movement without constraining it. A sufficiently loose sleeve lets air circulate and provides the comfort sought when temperatures rise. This is particularly true of our linen models, whose sleeves can be rolled up slightly to accentuate their relaxed spirit.

More than a question of length, a beautiful short-sleeve shirt is above all a shirt in which you feel free in your movements.

Is a short-sleeve shirt suitable for the office?

Yes, when chosen with care. Plain models, with fine stripes or fitted with a buttoned collar naturally find their place in a relaxed professional environment. Paired with chinos or dressier trousers, a short-sleeve shirt retains all its elegance, even when temperatures rise.

Can you wear a short-sleeve shirt with a tie?

In a formal setting, the pairing remains inadvisable: the short-sleeve shirt belongs above all to the summer and casual wardrobe. For a dressy outfit or more formal occasions, a long-sleeve shirt will always be more fitting. In a freer spirit, however, nothing prevents embracing a touch of personal style.

Which short-sleeve shirt colours to favour in summer?

Light shades such as white, sky blue or sand tones immediately evoke summer freshness. Deeper blues, such as indigo, bring more character. As for linen shirts, they readily lend themselves to bolder colours to accompany sunny days with elegance and relaxation. A khaki green naturally extends the spirit of the fabric, while a fuchsia pink brings a brighter note to summer days. Another way of introducing colour into your wardrobe, without giving up elegance.
