Making a sound shirt investment for the season ahead will be the key to your most talked about of ’fits this year. But with SS19 designs spanning from demure to completely in-your-face, knowing which shirt will button up best is no task for the amateur shopper. As such, we've enstated the big guns of the luxury fashion buying industry to share some of their favorites for SS19.
While low-key and classically stylish suggestions come from the likes of Jil Sander, COMME des GARÇONS, and Jacquemus, so-called vacation shirts show no sign of going anywhere this year if the likes of Amiri and Richard Quinn have anything to do with it. And as for the cut, there are no rules – with everything from boxy to flowing; long-sleeved to retro bowling shirts making the selection.
Check out all the SS19 shirts that have caught the fashion industry's eye having hit retailers, as told by buyers at Farfetch, TRÈS BIEN, END., and more.

AMIRI
"Vacation shirts are still going to be massive for the upcoming season and, in my opinion, the bolder the better! This silk screamer from Los Angeles' Amiri ticks so many boxes — it’s one of the shirts of the season."

"Not your average polo. This beige shirt by Heron Preston is a good neutral made interesting by its pops of color, seen on the collar and patch."

Sies Marjan
“This shirt by Sies Marjan exemplifies the trend for all things leather as seen in all of the fashion capitals this season. The olive green color and buttoned chest pockets evoke a military sensibility that I’m really into.”

"Nature-inspired colors and bold floral motifs... I loved Jacquemus’ first collection for men! I love this piece's open spread collar as a relaxed alternative to button-downs – a high style choice for summer."
