While I pride myself on knowing a lot of fashion-y lingo, I must admit I wasn't familiar with the term camp shirt until about, mmm, a week ago. If you, too, haven't been entirely acquainted with this style of top let me regale you with my newly learned intel: also known as a lounge or cabana shirt, camp shirts are loose, straight-cut, short-sleeved button-front shirts with a casual collar that doesn't have a band (aka the stiff part of a collar that makes it stand up). Oh, and they're meant to be worn loosely over waist bands instead of tucked in. Basically, they're chilled out versions of the classic button-down shirts you usually reach for to look tailored and polished. Kind of like a Hawaiian shirt which I'm very much here for with this year's sporty sandals for a chic Dad moment.

So, why am I blabbering on about camp shirts? Because the latest April drop from the POPSUGAR at Kohl's collection is filled with adorable versions that are as perfect on vacation as they are at the office. Honestly, how many shirts do you own that can really do both? I'll wait. With a tie-front silhouette and notched collar that feels '70s-inspired with looking overly retro, these camp shirts are great with high-wasit trousers, jeans, skirts, or even layered over a slip dress. I'd even style one atop a bathing suit with shorts at the beach. Enjoyable, yes?!

From a cute cherry print to fun polka dots and a bouncy shade of red, ahead, five camp shirts to shop from the April POPSUGAR at Kohl's drop.
