Seasonal Suggestions

Summer and Spring

In the warmer months, it's best to wear shirts made from lighter fabrics like linen or fine cotton. Choose lighter shades like whites, pastels, or even fun prints to brighten up your outfit and reflect the sun’s heat. A shirt like the Prairie Bloom Print Button-Down Shirt  is a great pick for spring or summer. It’s light, airy, and features a vibrant pattern that’s that's right on trend​.

Fall and Winter

For the cooler months, turn to heavier fabrics like flannels, corduroys, or thick cottons to stay warm. These materials are great for layering with sweaters or jackets. Stick to darker colors like navy, gray, or earthy tones, which are not only seasonal but also super versatile for any evening plans. For a dressy look, try layering a flannel shirt under a sport coat or a crisp dress shirt under a sweater. This approach gives you a refined yet cozy style ideal for a dinner date or a casual evening.
