Linen shirt
Long-sleeved shirt made of linen with a soft collar that stays cool in summer and is allowed to wrinkle. Light blue, white and navy go with chinos, linen trousers and an unlined sport coat. The sleeves can be rolled up; worn untucked, it looks casual. With wool trousers or under a winter sport coat it does not fit.

From the Guide
- Light blue goes with almost any trousers: beige, sand, taupe, olive, gray and navy are safe. With jeans and brown it works, but is not the first choice.
