It is that time of the year where you want to be able to quickly dive into your wardrobe and uncover something that’s easy, stylish and literally cool to wear. A simple cotton shirt might be written off as boring, but I find that a poplin button-down provides endless outfit inspiration.
This is a staple piece you will keep running to not only during summer, but all year round. I find poplin shirts to be such a versatile item to have in your closet whatever the season because the layering opportunities are endless. The same shirt can be smart or casual, classic or more adventurous, depending on how you choose to incorporate it into your ensembles. You can have a surprising amount of fashion fun with a simple poplin shirt, and my favourite is Arket’s oversized version thanks to its cut and quality. It most certainly comes under the timeless and forever item category, and although my beige version is sold out, it’s now a staple style the brand has in different colours and prints all the time.
