What qualities make up the perfect summer shirt? For me, I always start by finding a fabric that's lightweight and breathable. Next, I look for a top that's versatile so I can wear it with everything already in my warm-weather wardrobe: jean shorts [1], maxi skirts, and even biker shorts [2]. Then, the print itself has to be fun. After seeing bold striped button-downs cropping up on stylish women all over Instagram, I went on a hunt to find a short-sleeved version I could introduce to my closet.
The Old Navy Relaxed Vertical-Stripe Cap-Sleeve Shirt [3] ($16, originally $30) has everything I was looking for. It features vertical stripes that make me think of ocean vacations, and the fabric is lightweight: a mix of cotton and rayon.
