The Best Short Sleeve Shirts for Women in 2022
Barbara – Sweetheart of Britt Sisseck
Danish designer flair? Do. Britt Sisseck occupies her own high-end fashion niche: subtle with a kick, feminine with a masculine edge, discreetly shimmering. The fit here is straight, with a slightly looser fit for summer comfort. The fabric is the palest ivory stripe with jacquard floral detailing in contrasting dark red. Detach the cuffs for simple work lines, playful accessories like bracelets for cocktail parties, or reattach them for a whole new look.
Pisarro de Loolios
Flatter your inner artist with the impressionistic simplicity of Pisarro from Mediterranean fashion designers Loolios, whose style is defined by galleries and museums. Crafted from organic cotton, the Pisarro’s cut is a dropped shoulder with a relaxed camp collar. The big story here is the relaxed drop shoulders – and of course that beautiful, bold embroidered flower. The style is casual for al fresco weekend brunches, so tailored it’s also perfect for urban jungle chic.
Short-sleeved shirt with chest pockets by Zizzi
So casual you can only smell the weekend coffee, Zizzi’s lightweight pale blue take on the classic women’s short sleeve shirt is generous in every way. Super soft lyocell fabric is skin-friendly and easy to care for. The sleeves are short, designed to be rolled up or rolled up depending on your taste, your style and especially your mood. The cut is long and relaxed with dropped shoulders and a classic collar. The chest pockets and side slits evoke the boyfriend shirt: come in or go out, we love it.
White Stretch Linen Polo Shirt by Scaglione
How, exactly, did you manage without this quintessentially Italian version of Scaglione’s must-have polo shirt? We neither. Artistry, beauty and in-depth craftsmanship are the foundation of every Scaglione piece. The simplicity of linen is the story here – and what a story it is. The classic three-button collar and fitted sleeves are the key notes, Italian linen is completed with a touch of lycra for a little extra stretch. Made in Italy. Next stop: La Dolce Vita.
Cordera Beige Short Sleeve Casual Shirt
Such easy elegance could only be Spanish, and more specifically Galicia, where nature and its simplicity inspire timeless design. More than that, as you can see here, Cordera is committed to stylish durability. The pinstripe print suggests formality, contrasting playfully with an oversized relaxed fit. Short sleeve cuffs add detail and structure. Ethically made to Cordera’s high sustainability standards in La Coruña, using only small, family-run factories.
