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, maxi skirts, and even biker shorts. And 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 ($16, originally $30) had everything I was looking for. It featuring vertical stripes that make me think of ocean holidays, and the fabric is lightweight: a mix of cotton and rayon.
