The summer challenge is a big one: how to maintain a formal wardrobe's stature when temperatures rise? At Hast, the shirt is at the core of our business. For this Spring-Summer 2026 collection, we have selected pieces that allow for air and movement, without ever sacrificing the precision of the cut.
The art of material: breathability and impeccable hold
To get through the season with flair, it all starts with the choice of weave. Our summer dress shirts rely on a subtle balance between freshness and structure.
The lightness of poplin and the structure of Giro Inglese
Lightweight poplin remains a pillar for its crispness. However, this season highlights Giro Inglese, an openwork texture that offers exceptional natural ventilation while maintaining a very dressy appearance.
The natural blend of cotton and linen
The cotton-linen blend is the ideal solution for the modern man: you benefit from the thermoregulation of linen while enjoying the hold and wrinkle resistance of cotton. It's the assurance of a shirt that stays "neat" from morning to night.
Textile innovation: Tencel and nettle
For a more contemporary approach, we are introducing innovative fibers. The Tencel and nettle blend offers a new fluidity, less rigid, but with an impeccable drape for formal wear.
The details that make the difference: collar and finishes
The elegance of a seasonal shirt lies in its construction. Our collars have been designed to adapt to freer movements.
Structured collars for every occasion
- The One Piece: cut from a single piece, it offers a unique natural curve.
- The button-down American: a classic for an impeccable look, with or without a tie.
- The semi-cutaway and the casual button-down: versatile options to open up the wardrobe to more flexible uses.
