Fair warning: camp-collar shirts don’t suit everyone. The spread
shape of the style – which has become a big hit in the summer
wardrobes of men young and old over the past few years – looks
great on those with broader shoulders and prominent chests, but
can be a little drowning on those without. Should you fall into the
former camp then this is your lucky season as floaty, silky bowling
shirts – complete with laid-out-as-you-like camp (or Cuban) collars
and more colour and pattern than you could throw a maraca at – are
big news right now. They’re excellent worn over an oiled-up chest
and a pair of clashing swimmers – but will also score you style
points teamed with a cellular vest and a close-cut dark seersucker
suit. You might just not want to wear anything else until Christmas.
