The Best Short Sleeved Shirts We've Worn So Far [Updated]

Slipping into a short sleeved shirt is a slippery slope to shorts and open toed shoes. It’s a high risk, high reward game, so here are your best bets.

Icebreaker’s Cool-Lite Compass Shirt is one of the best-looking short sleeved button downs I’ve ever seen, so the fact that it’s merino and Tencel is just... icing on the cake.

Western Rise’s AirLight Cloth is a super airy blend that’s stretchy, water-repellant, and sustainable.

“... perfectly tailored, perfectly weighted, wrinkle-resistant shirt you’ll want to own multiple of. Made of 70% merino and 30% Sorona, a “...plant-based fiber that increases softness, tensile strength and adds increased movement while retaining shape.”, the Jack is literally a perfect blend. -Me

Update 6/7/18: A cotton poplin short sleeve from the makers of some of our favorite dress shirts? Count us in. Just look at those ice pops. Get them for $54 if you buy 4 or more.

Another cotton poplin, this one a bit more rugged, from the makers of our favorite plaid.

For something completely different, Towel-lined, and sporting a built-in dry pocket, the High Water is slim fitting and beer-friendly- the ultimate shirt for the beach or most places really.
