Band-collar shirt
Shirt that has only the collar band and no collar points. Meant to be worn without a tie, it looks pared-down and calm. In linen it is a summer shirt for linen trousers and chinos, also under a light, unlined sport coat.

From the Guide
- White is safe with light trousers, navy, jeans, taupe and olive. With gray and brown it works, but looks flatter; a top with texture helps there.
