CASUAL SHIRTS

There's a reason the casual shirt has been a wardrobe staple for decades — it's the one piece that works equally hard at a laid-back Sunday brunch and a last-minute work-from-café session. At Selected, we've built our casual shirts collection around exactly that kind of everyday versatility. With numerous styles to choose from, finding your ideal shirt for men isn't just possible — it's genuinely exciting.

Here's everything you need to know about navigating our collection smartly.

Why Casual Shirts Deserve More Attention

Most men treat their casual shirts as an afterthought. They shouldn't. A well-chosen casual shirt can anchor an entire outfit — it sets the tone, the palette, and the personality. The right shirt says something before you even open your mouth. And when you have the right fit, the right colour, and the right pattern working together? That's effortless dressing done right.

Start With Fit, Everything Else Follows

How do I choose the right fit for a casual shirt?

The fit is where it all begins. At Selected, our casual shirts for men come in four distinct fits, each built for a different kind of guy — or a different kind of day.

Slim fit casual shirts are cut closer to the body, making them ideal for men who prefer a sharper, more tailored look even in a relaxed setting. Pair a slim-fit blue casual shirt or a slim-fit men's casual white shirt with chinos or dark jeans, and you've got a clean, put-together look without trying too hard.

Regular-fit casual shirts are the go-to for most men. They offer just the right amount of room — not too boxy, not too tight. A regular-fit grey casual shirt or a beige-coloured casual shirt in a regular fit hits that sweet spot between comfort and structure. Great for weekdays, weekends, and everything in between.

Relaxed fit shirts are for those days when comfort is non-negotiable. Think weekend hangs, travel days, or beach vacations. Our relaxed fit printed shirts and resort collar styles are particularly popular in this category.

Oversized shirts have had a major moment in men's wear, and we're fully here for it. Layer them open over a tee or button them all the way up — either way works.

Which Colours Work Best in Casual Shirts for Men?

Colour is often the simplest way to shape the personality of your outfit.

A men's casual white shirt is a dependable foundation. It pairs with almost everything, from denim to neutral trousers, and works well when you want a clean, minimal look. An off-white casual shirt offers a softer alternative while keeping the same refined appeal.

A black casual shirt carries quiet confidence. It is easy to style for evening plans and works especially well with dark denim or structured trousers.

A blue casual shirt is one of the most versatile choices in men’s wardrobes. Light blue feels fresh and daytime-ready, while deeper blue tones bring more depth to the outfit. The Selected collection includes blue across several casual shirt styles, making it a strong colour to begin with.

A green casual shirt brings a contemporary edge without being loud. A brown casual shirt feels grounded and pairs beautifully with cream, beige, khaki, and blue. A grey casual shirt is understated and practical, while a beige colour casual shirt offers Nordic simplicity in its most wearable form.

For men who like a little more character, a men's pink casual shirt, red casual shirt, yellow casual shirt, purple casual shirt, or orange casual shirt can bring personality into the wardrobe. The key is to keep the rest of the outfit simple, so the shirt remains the focus.

Pattern Power: Finding Your Signature

Our collection covers the full spectrum, and every pattern tells a different story.

Solid casual shirts & plain casual shirts — The foundation of any great wardrobe. Solid shirts are easy to mix and match, layer with a jacket, or style with bold-coloured trousers.

Men's casual check shirts — From classic windowpane checks to more subtle woven patterns, check shirts offer visual interest without crossing into busy territory. The men's casual check shirts in our collection work effortlessly with jeans or chinos.

Men's casual printed shirts — This is where Selected gets really interesting. From our signature Hotel Amour print to Cuban collar tropical designs, our printed shirts are designed for men who want their wardrobe to tell a story.

Men's striped casual shirt — Whether it's a refined dobby stripe or a bold seersucker stripe, striped shirts are a smart, polished choice for casual dressing. Our light blue striped dobby shirt and brown striped seersucker shirt are particularly popular picks.

Collar Talk: The Detail That Changes Everything

One thing that sets our casual shirts apart is the collar variety. Beyond the standard spread collar, we offer Cuban collar shirts (great for a resort or retro-inspired look), button-down collars (preppy and relaxed), and resort collars (the ultimate holiday shirt vibe). Each collar type changes the personality of the shirt entirely — it's worth paying attention to.

How to Style Casual Shirts for Men

For a weekend look, pair a men's casual printed shirt or a green casual shirt with slim-fit jeans and clean white sneakers. If you're heading somewhere slightly more dressed up, tuck in a solid casual shirt or a plain white shirt into tailored trousers and add loafers. For travel days, a relaxed-fit blue casual shirt with chinos is practically foolproof. And if you want to experiment, wear a check or striped shirt unbuttoned over a plain tee — it's a layering move that always lands well.

FAQs

Q: What's the difference between slim fit and regular fit casual shirts? 

Slim-fit shirts are cut closer to the body and create a more tailored silhouette. Regular fit offers more room through the chest and torso, making it a comfortable, relaxed choice for everyday wear.

Q: Which casual shirt colours are most versatile? 

White, off-white, blue, grey, and beige are the most versatile colours in our casual shirts collection. They pair easily with most trousers, jeans, and chinos without much effort.

Q: Are printed shirts office-appropriate? 

That depends on your workplace. Subtle prints — like a self-design or a tonal structure shirt — work well in relaxed office environments. Bold men's casual printed shirts are better suited for weekends or social occasions.

Q: What size range does Selected offer in casual shirts? 

Our casual shirts for men are available from XS to XXL, ensuring a great fit across body types.

Q: Can I wear a casual shirt to a semi-formal event? 

Yes, a solid or subtly patterned casual shirt in a slim or regular fit, tucked in and paired with tailored trousers, can easily work for smart-casual or semi-formal occasions.

Q: How do I choose between a Cuban collar and a spread collar shirt?

Cuban collar shirts have a relaxed, open neckline with no button at the top — they have a laid-back, summery vibe. Spread-collar shirts are more traditional and work across a wider range of occasions, including more dressed-up settings.
