Brown Shirts for Men

Brown shirts for men are a warm, earthy alternative to blue and grey: relaxed enough for the weekend, and smart in a plain shirt or a small check. Our brown shirts are all slim fit, in mid brown and dark brown shades, mostly full sleeve with some half sleeve.

Patterns. Brown checks, in cotton, twill, herringbone and hopsack, are our biggest group and work in a smart-casual office. Brown stripes, including dobby and herringbone stripes, look neat tucked in. Our printed brown shirts in cotton poplin, cotton twill and viscose are for weekends. For a plain brown shirt, there's a dark brown cotton twill.

Dark brown or mid brown. Dark brown, close to coffee, looks richer and a little more formal. Mid brown is lighter and more relaxed, and pairs easily with blue jeans.

What to wear with brown. Brown pairs best with lighter neutrals and blues: beige, khaki, cream, white and grey trousers, and blue jeans. For a smart-casual look, wear a brown check with beige chinos and brown shoes. At the weekend, wear a brown print untucked with light blue jeans and white sneakers. Avoid brown trousers in the same shade as the shirt; pick a lighter or darker contrast instead.

Fit. All our brown shirts are slim fit: tapered at the waist and fitted through the shoulders.
