Best patterned and printed shirts for men

Socks with sandals, dad sneakers, and crocs have returned to our feet and feeds, so it may come as no surprise that daring printed shirts are one of the most coveted style staples this summer.

Over the years, these statement-making shirts have ping-ponged across the oh-so fine line of tacky and cool. But this season, forget subdued monochromatic colour palettes, this season bolder is better and more is more.

These not-so classic designs are no longer reserved for dads on vacation. With botanical designs, tie-dye and animal print, they have come a long way since their Tommy Bahama predecessors and are now offered for every type of gent.

Effortlessly cool and packed with a carefree attitude that will last long beyond your holiday—this year is all about the patterned shirt.

Pair with neutral bottom halves for a more subtle and slightly easier way to style or go all out with the coordinating shorts when available.

Borneo Shirt

AllSaints has long been a go-to for printed shirts with an extensive offering of botanical designs and stand-out prints.
