Men's Shirts

Checked shirts add structure to a wardrobe without crossing into bold prints — the pattern is geometric, traditional, and reads as smart-casual rather than statement-making. The Basics checked shirt range covers a spectrum: micro-checks for office wear (where the pattern reads almost solid from distance), gingham and tattersall for smart-casual, and bolder windowpane and madras checks for weekend and casual wear. Available in cotton and cotton-linen blends across Slim and Relaxed fits, with colour palettes ranging from clean blue-on-white to richer earth tones. Checked shirts read as smart-casual with character. Pair them with solid trousers (avoid pattern clash). Formality: smart-casual and office; small checks read more formal than large. Care: wash inside-out cold to preserve pattern colour contrast. For most buyers, checked shirts land in the middle of the casual-to-smart-casual spectrum, suiting both office days where pattern is welcome and weekend wear where personality matters more than restraint. Selection tip: pair a stronger checked shirt with the most neutral piece in the rest of the outfit — let the pattern be the single voice, not one of many. In the Basics range, checked shirts are available across the major colour families and core fits, so you can match the design language to the body cut that already works for you.
