The summer challenge is real: how to maintain the polish of formalwear when the heat rises? At Hast, the shirt is at the core of our craft. For this Spring-Summer 2026 collection, we have selected pieces that allow breathability and ease of movement, without ever compromising on tailored precision.
The art of fabric: breathability and impeccable drape
To navigate the season with style, everything starts with the weave. Our summer dress shirts strike a subtle balance between freshness and structure.
The lightness of poplin and the architecture of Giro Inglese
Lightweight poplin remains a staple for its crispness. However, this season gives pride of place to Giro Inglese, an open-weave texture that offers exceptional natural ventilation while maintaining a refined look.
The natural alliance of cotton and linen
The cotton-linen blend is the ideal choice for the modern man: you benefit from the thermal regulation of linen alongside the structure and crease resistance of cotton. The result is a shirt that stays crisp from morning to night.
Fabric innovation: Tencel and nettle
For a more contemporary approach, we are introducing innovative fibres. The Tencel and nettle blend offers a new, less rigid fluidity, whilst retaining an impeccable drape for formal wear.
The details that make the difference: collar and finishing touches
The elegance of a seasonal shirt lies in its construction. Our collars are designed for effortless comfort and movement.
Tailored collars for every occasion
- The One Piece: cut from a single piece of fabric, it offers a uniquely natural roll.
- The American button-down: a classic for an impeccable look, with or without a tie.
- The semi-cutaway and casual button-down: versatile options to open your wardrobe to more relaxed styling.
