When the temperature rises during the summer season, the demand for elegance remains unchanged. Fortunately, the shirt may be the most adaptable piece in a man's wardrobe. Provided you choose the right one for the occasion, the temperature and the mood of the moment. This summer, at Hast, we offer five distinct families, each with its own character.
The popover shirt: effortless relaxed elegance
The perfect hybrid between a traditional shirt and a polo shirt, the popover shirt is the essence of relaxed elegance. With a button placket that stops halfway down the chest, it slips on over the head like a jumper. It is the ideal piece for those seeking a polished silhouette without the overly formal air of a classic shirt.
How to wear it this summer?
For a successful weekend or holiday look, pair it with cotton Bermuda shorts and canvas espadrilles, or with lightweight chinos and soft loafers. Leave the first two buttons undone for a decidedly summery style.
The key piece to add: Our light blue cotton-linen popover shirt offers thermal comfort and an impeccable drape thanks to its blend of fine materials.
The linen shirt: the essential thermoregulating piece
If there were only one material to choose for summer, it would be linen. At Hast, we love linen for its durability, breathability and unrivalled freshness. Naturally slightly creased, it has that authentic charm and typically Mediterranean nonchalance.

The linen shirt adapts to every occasion. For a summer evening or a relaxed wedding, wear it under a lightweight cotton-linen suit. For a more casual look, pair a colourful version with white trousers.

The cotton shirt: from the office to dinner on the terrace
Cotton remains a summer wardrobe staple, it adapts. Depending on its weave and weight, the cotton shirt remains a reliable choice for giving structure to a silhouette. Whether it is breathable Oxford, lightweight, silky poplin or versatile twill, it takes you from morning to evening with ease.
How to wear it this summer?
It is your unfailing ally for summer workwear. A poplin shirt pairs perfectly with a cool wool suit at the office. When evening comes, take off the jacket, roll up the sleeves, and you are ready for dinner on the terrace.

The short-sleeved shirt: summer style
Long overlooked, the short-sleeved shirt has regained its rightful place. It fully embraces the summer season without trying to be something it is not. Thanks to a refined collar and a slim fit that is just right, it moves beyond clichés to become a statement piece.
How to wear it this summer?
Wear it buttoned up and tucked into tailored trousers for a retro-chic look. You can also wear it wide open over a plain white cotton T-shirt, paired with pleated Bermuda shorts and minimalist trainers for a relaxed urban silhouette.
The style choice: Take a look at our dedicated collection of short-sleeved shirts to find the fit and pattern that will define your summer.
The fun shirt: boldness, prints and seasonal textures
Summer is the ideal time to dare what we deny ourselves for the rest of the year. The fun shirt rounds off our selection with its bold, printed or textured character, unique to the warmer months. It is the kind of statement piece one gladly wears at the weekend, and almost regrets having to put away when autumn arrives.
How to wear it this summer?
As the shirt is graphic or textured, keep the rest of the outfit understated. Pair it with plain, understated bottoms: beige chinos or ecru Bermuda shorts. Let it express all its freshness in broad daylight.
Our favourite: Be won over by our blue-striped cotton and linen shirt, the perfect balance of visual originality and summer comfort.
