Just imagine you waking up, staring at your wardrobe and that age-old question pops up, “Which shirt actually works today?” We’ve all been there. Some mornings call for quiet confidence, others for a loud “I run the vibe check.” That’s where patterns come in. Choosing the right one is less about rules and more about reading the room (and your mood).
So let’s break it down: casual shirts for men aren’t all created equal. Solids, stripes, checks, prints, misc and denim, each has its own moment in the spotlight. Here’s how to know when to wear what (without looking like you borrowed your dad’s ‘90s collection).
The Six Patterns You Should Master
Patterns aren’t just pretty visuals; they’re mood-setters. A shirt says something before you even open your mouth. A striped number? “I’ve got my life together.” A bold printed shirt? “I’m the fun one at this table.” A solid? “Less talk, more rock.” Choosing the right casual shirts for men is about wearing your vibe with confidence.
1. Solid Shirts
Solids are your wardrobe’s secret weapon. White, black, navy or that dusty olive. They say, “I’ve got this,” even when you don’t. You can pair a crisp white or navy solid shirt with Spykar jeans and you’re instantly in “ stylish” territory.
Best for: First dates, job interviews or anytime you want to look like a calm, collected legend.
Style hack: Roll up your sleeves, throw on sneakers and you’ve got a modern casual-meets-classy fit.
2. Checked Shirts
Checks bring character without trying too hard. They work for layering: buttoned, unbuttoned or tossed over a tee.You can pair a checked shirt with chinos or Spykar joggers for a “laid-back but not lazy” look.
Best for: Coffee runs, Friday dressing or catching flights.
Style hack: Go smaller checks for work, bigger ones for weekend hangs.
3. Striped Shirts
Stripes don’t just look good, they work optical illusions. Vertical stripes make you look leaner and taller, which is basically a cheat code.
Best for: Client meetings, rooftop sundowners or that after-office party you didn’t plan to attend (but will).
Style hack: Pair a striped shirt with slim-fit Spykar trousers for work, then swap in distressed jeans for the after-party.
4. Printed Shirts
Prints let you flex your personality. Tropical vibes, micro-prints or abstract coolness, they’re a conversation starter. You can pair a breezy printed shirt with Spykar denim shorts or ripped jeans.
Best for: Vacations, gigs, pool parties or anytime you want people to say, “Who’s that guy?
Style hack: Keep bottoms neutral so your shirt does the talking.
5. Denim Shirts
Denim shirts are rugged yet versatile. They bring that “I didn’t try too hard but still look cool” vibe. You can pair a denim shirt with black Spykar jeans and boots for an edgy night look.
Best for: Casual Fridays, bike rides or when you’re channeling your inner rockstar.
Style hack: Wear it open over a plain white tee with sneakers for instant laid-back street style.
6. Misc Shirts
These shirts don’t play by the rules; unique patterns and unexpected details make them perfect for standing out. You can pair a misc shirt with slim-fit trousers to balance the boldness.
Best for: Days when you want to surprise even yourself.
Style hack: Keep accessories minimal and let the shirt do the talking, it’s already the conversation starter.

Whether it’s brunch, boardroom or Bali, these shirts have the versatility to keep up with your calendar. And honestly, when your shirt game is strong, the compliments flow faster than your weekend cocktails.
