When temperatures rise, the masculine wardrobe must adapt. There is a precise moment in the year when putting on a long-sleeved shirt becomes a challenge. Faced with the heat, the right response is not to sacrifice elegance, but to choose the right pieces and fabrics.
At Hast, our collection of short-sleeved shirts was designed for those who refuse to compromise on style or comfort. Built to the same exacting standards as our permanent range, they feature lightweight fabrics that hold their shape all day without ever weighing down the silhouette.
The key fabrics of summer
The secret to a refined summer silhouette lies entirely in the choice of fabric. For this collection, we selected breathable, textured, and eco-responsible fabrics (Oeko-Tex certified, Tencel, or Ecovero) that ensure optimal airflow while maintaining an impeccable drape.
Linen and cotton: the ultimate fresh pairing
Linen is the quintessential summer fibre. For our white linen and cotton short-sleeved shirt, we blended 60% linen and 40% cotton. This smart blend offers the best of both worlds: the breathability and crisp coolness of linen, combined with the softness and hold of cotton. A bright piece to wear without hesitation on the warmest days.
Seersucker and Giro Inglese: the charm of textures
Seersucker: With its unique puckered weave, our white and blue striped cotton seersucker shirt does not cling to the skin and promotes heat release. Naturally breathable, it also offers a huge benefit: it requires no ironing.
Giro Inglese: Offered in a textured navy version, the navy Giro Inglese shirt provides a sophisticated alternative. Its honeycomb structure lets the body breathe while adding refined depth and an effortlessly masculine look.
Tencel, Ecovero viscose and terry cloth: fluid and relaxed
Tencel and Ecovero viscose: Whether in our ecru Tencel bowling shirt or our khaki Ecovero viscose design, these fluid, plant-based fabrics offer a silky drape and an incredibly cool touch against the skin.
Cotton towelling: Inspired by the golden age of the Riviera, the white terry short-sleeved shirt with its camp collar is the ultimate casual piece, ideal for the end of a day at the beach or a relaxed weekend.
How to style a short-sleeved shirt with elegance
The short-sleeved shirt is a piece of rare versatility. Its strength? It retains a presence and structure that few summer garments can provide. Here are two ways to wear it this season.
The smart casual look: the art of layering
For a modern, relaxed look, wear your short-sleeved shirt unbuttoned over a fitted white t-shirt. Choose for example the ecru striped fun shirt or the khaki viscose design, paired with lightweight raw denim jeans or beige chinos. The ideal outfit for a city terrace or a weekend getaway.
Summer elegance: refined tailoring
Who says short sleeves cannot be dressed up? Tucked into pleated trousers or fresco wool trousers, the navy Giro Inglese shirt or the white linen and cotton shirt works wonders. They structure the upper body while exuding relaxed refinement, perfect for a summer dinner.
The Hast standard: premium finishes at a fair price
Choosing a Hast short-sleeved shirt means opting for a durable garment, crafted in respect of shirtmaking traditions and offered without interries.
