Collection: Relaxed fit

At Hast, we've designed the fit of our casual shirt to be as comfortable as it is elegant. The pleat in the back allows for greater freedom of movement. This makes it the ideal shirt for a casual style, without compromising on sophistication.

Characteristics of a casual shirt

A casual shirt is recognizable by its cut and details. Unlike a formal shirt, a casual shirt emphasizes the silhouette without hugging the body's contours. The shoulders are ideally emphasized. The collar is rather soft; the stiff collar is reserved for formal shirts. Our relaxed-fit Oxford shirts have a button-down collar, as do our denim and chambray shirts. The cuffs of a casual shirt are generally rounded or straight.

What fabric should you choose for a casual shirt?

Depending on the materials used, the overall look of the shirt will be different. For example:
Linen: This material is particularly suitable for summer, as it is very breathable, even more so than cotton. Linen absorbs moisture quickly and dries easily. Cotton: very skin-friendly, it allows it to breathe even in hot weather. It is also a very flexible material. Oxford: with its grid weave, Oxford fabric brings elegance and originality to the shirt. Denim and chambray: the perfect fabrics to wear at work or on weekends, for a workwear-inspired style.

How to wear a casual shirt?

Don't be afraid to play with contrasts. A casual shirt looks great under a sports jacket or cardigan. To accentuate contrasts, you can wear a darker shirt and add a light jacket or cardigan over it. For example, our blue safari casual shirt is the perfect color for pairing with any outfit. We recommend pairing it with camel, gray, or beige chinos. The shirt's relaxed fit, combined with a button-down collar, ensures a perfect fit and great freedom of movement. To head to work without any hassle, opt for a plain, textured chambray shirt and pair it with navy chinos or raw jeans. Don't miss out on our casual denim shirt. We recommend our denim shirt with a mandarin collar. This shirt is a great asset for a look that's both polished and casual. Our denim features a unique wash developed with Albiate, the Italian denim specialist. The great advantage of this shirt is that it pairs perfectly with any outfit. Don't hesitate to wear it with chinos or jeans in another shade. The mandarin collar makes it a timeless and very easy-to-wear shirt.
