Lately, we have been seeing more and more short sleeve button down shirts.  When done right, they can be a great choice, unfortunately, many times they just aren’t that flattering.  While there are definitely options out there that will look awesome, we tend to keep things simple and just roll up the sleeves of our favorite long sleeve button downs during the warm months.  One option that we love for this summer is the Men’s Madras Long Sleeve ($98) by Cape Madras.

One of our favorite things about the Madras Long Sleeve is that it is not only madras, but patchwork madras!  As you know, we are suckers for patchwork when it is done right, and Cape Madras has not disappointed.  Made of 100% cotton and available in five colorways (our favorite is the Amherst, shown), this shirt is perfect for a summer cookout, or a day wandering the streets of a small coastal town.  Paired with anything from shorts of a complimentary color, to jeans, to a simple pair of chinos, the Madras Long Sleeve from Cape Madras is a piece that will truly look great with whatever you pair it with.
