Over the last three years, I’ve tested more than 25 different short-sleeve button-downs, but Uniqlo’s offering stays in rotation. The camp-collar design is clean and minimal, so it’s versatile enough to wear with various bottoms—linen shorts, trousers, or even swim trunks for a beach day. Since the fabrication blends a lightweight cotton-linen, it kept me cool in hot, summer temps. I wore it on vacation in Costa Rica where the weather was as hot as 90 degrees, and the material stayed breathable the whole time. Instead of sticking to my skin or soaking up any sweat like a sponge, the fabric just had that loose, flowy vibe.

The two-way collar can be worn open or closed, depending on your vibe. You can wear it solo or layered over a tank top when the temps fluctuate. The relaxed silhouette is cut roomy through the chest, arms, and shoulders, so it works for all body types. When it comes to caring for this piece, you have to baby it a tad. Yes, it can go in the washer, but hanging it to air dry is your best bet to keep its shape.

Clocking in under $50, this is one of the most affordable options we’ve tested. Like most wallet-friendly items at Uniqlo, this shirt has a premium feel that punches well above its price point. The stitching holds up, the fabric softens over time without losing structure, and it never looks cheap even after multiple washes. Plus, the shirt comes in a number of colors, so you can stock up on a few for casual office fits.
