Check Shirts for Men: Fabrics, Sleeves & How to Wear Them
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.

Check Shirts for Men: Frequently Asked Questions
Are check shirts formal or casual?
Mostly smart-casual. A small, muted check, tucked in, works in most offices. A large or bright check is casual wear. For formal events, choose a plain shirt.
What should I wear with a check shirt?
Plain bottoms: navy, grey or beige trousers, chinos, or blue or black jeans. Avoid patterned trousers, so the check stays the one pattern in the outfit.
Can I wear a check shirt to the office?
Yes, in a smart-casual office. Choose a small check in a muted colour, full sleeve, tucked into plain trousers or chinos.
What's the difference between a twill check and a herringbone check?
Both are woven cotton. Twill has a fine diagonal line in the weave and a soft, smooth feel. Herringbone has a V-shaped zigzag weave that gives the check more texture.
Should I tuck in a check shirt?
Tuck it in for the office or with trousers. Wear it untucked with jeans at the weekend, especially half sleeve check shirts.
What fit are your check shirts?
All our check shirts are slim fit: tapered at the waist and fitted through the shoulders. If you're between sizes and like more room, choose the larger size.
What sizes do check shirts come in?
XS to XXXL. The smallest and largest sizes sell out first, so check the page for your size. If the fit isn't right, you can return it within 30 days.
