Check Shirts for Men

Check shirts for men sit between a plain shirt and a print: smart enough for the office, relaxed enough for the weekend. They're one of our most popular styles: more than 1 in 4 shirts our customers buy online is a check. Our check shirts are all slim fit, in full and half sleeve.

Fit. Every check shirt we sell is slim fit: tapered at the waist and fitted through the shoulders, which keeps the pattern looking clean, never baggy.

Fabric. Most of our check shirts are 100% cotton. Cotton twill has a fine diagonal weave and a soft, slightly heavier feel. Herringbone has a V-shaped weave that adds texture to the check. Cotton linen is lighter and cooler for hot days, and corduroy checks are warmer for cooler evenings.

Sleeves. Most are full sleeve, smart enough for the office with the sleeves down and easy to roll up. Half sleeve check shirts are the casual summer option, best worn untucked.

Colour. Our checks come mostly in greens, blues, browns, greys, navy, beige and maroon, with some brighter shades.

How to wear them. Let the shirt be the only pattern in the outfit, with plain trousers, chinos or jeans. A small, muted check in navy, grey or brown works in a smart-casual office, tucked into chinos or trousers. A bolder check looks best untucked with jeans at the weekend. A plain T-shirt under an open check shirt is an easy casual layer.
