Casual shirts
The Nines advises you to match this style with fabrics that are more suitable such as linen, flannel, denim and chambray. You may opt for a less structured collar with rather visible buttons and simple cuffs.

The properties of a casual shirt
The Nines offers you numerous shirts to wear for casual occasions, such as going out with friends or taking a stroll outdoors. We recommend Italian or French collar shirts which are more understated. If you want to modernize your look, opt for a reverse collar shirt, small collar or button-down collar (for a more workwear style!). The Tunisian collar shirt with its timeless charm is also very comfortable to wear when it's warmer.
Moreover, certain fabrics are more suitable for informal events. The Nines advises you to opt for shirts with soft and slightly textured fabric like Oxford. To add character to your outfits, wear chambray shirts or raw or stone-washed chambray. Some materials are ideal for a particular season: linen shirts and cotton shirts, being very airy, will keep you cool during hot weather, while flannel shirts will keep you warm when it's cold outside.
Set aside your cufflinks and opt for simple cuffs. The casual shirt is generally worn with visible buttons for a more relaxed look.
Wearing the casual shirt with style
The casual shirt pairs very well with certain tracksuits. For a modern and impeccable outfit, pair your casual shirt with a suit jacket (with a pocket square in similar colors or patterns) or a denim jacket. You can also wrap a sweater around your neck or wear it with your casual shirt slightly peeking out. When going out, you can wear a casual shirt under a leather blazer or a trench coat.
The casual shirt is preferably worn untucked. Nevertheless, you can tuck it into your pants and wear a belt with a color or pattern that is already present in your outfit (to show that you pay attention to the combination of pieces). Depending on your preferences, opt for chinos, rolled-up jeans, or pants with or without patterns. For a more chic look, go out with pleated trousers! Finally, shorts are appropriate for the beach with an open casual shirt.
Wear a pair of loafers or derby shoes for a refined effect. If you like trendy sneakers, opt for a plain pair to accompany your casual shirt. In summer, head to the sand with a casual shirt and espadrilles! However, when winter comes, put on leather or suede boots.
