The camp collar shirt — also called the Cuban collar or revere collar — is the single most versatile piece in summer menswear. Open, relaxed, and effortlessly cool, it works everywhere from a sandy boardwalk to a candlelit rooftop. Here are five ways to wear it.
1. Fully Buttoned With Matching Shorts
The co-ord play. Button the camp collar all the way up, pair with the matching shorts, and add leather sandals. It's resort-ready, polished, and zero-effort. Works in royal blue, cream, grey, or beige — go bold or go tonal.
The Coastal Camp Set in Royal Blue — statement colour, relaxed collar, matching shorts.
2. Open Over a White Tee
Unbutton it completely and wear as an overshirt over a plain white crew-neck tee. This layered look works with matching trousers or with different bottoms — chinos, slim jeans, or drawstring pants. The open collar frames the tee beautifully.
3. With Tailored Trousers for Evening
Swap the shorts for tailored trousers and the camp collar instantly transitions to evening. Tuck the shirt in for a sleeker line, add a leather belt and loafers. The relaxed collar keeps it from feeling too formal — the perfect rooftop dinner outfit.
The Coastal Camp Set in Grey — equally at home at a bar or a beach.
4. Layered Under a Cardigan
When the temperature drops, layer a camp collar shirt under a Fireside Cardigan. The open collar sits perfectly under the shawl neckline, creating a relaxed but textured look for autumn evenings and cooler coastal nights.
5. Half-Tucked With a Crossbody
The most editorial look: half-tuck the front of the camp collar into your shorts or trousers, add a Noir Crossbody bag, and you've got an outfit that looks like it belongs in a fashion magazine but took thirty seconds to put together.
The Promenade Shorts Set in Beige — textured, tonal, effortless.
The camp collar rule: if it feels too styled, undo one button. The whole point is that it looks like you didn't try.
