Print shirts are the standout of party season. Sometimes accused of being too loud, or too attention seeking, this season, fortune favors the bold. With the refined style of a button-down and the laidback fun of exclusive, in-house designed dress shirt prints, SABA’s collection of resort shirts are the versatile answer to weekend, weekday and resort style.
Resort Style
To knock resort style out of the park every time, pair a bold patterned button down shirt with a relaxed pair of shorts or linen pants. Create a point of difference by wearing open over a crisp white shirt, tucked or buttoned close to the neck. Small adjustments to styling can make the look more intentional, and far more refined.
Our West Short Sleeve Resort Print Shirt is born for easy holiday styling. From lounging around the pool, to sunset drinks, this piece is crafted from 100% cotton voile, with a relaxed fit worthy of your off-duty moments. Wear with a pair of linen pants for relaxed yet elevated resort style.
Our Drake Short Sleeve Resort Print Shirt is another holiday winner. Made from 100% Tencel twill, this lightweight shirt has a resort camp collar, and an in-house print. Style with a pair of linen pants for a smart-casual – but comfortable – outfit.
Party season is your chance to introduce more characterful styling, and experience the confidence of standing out from the pack. Whether it’s a family lunch or a corporate work party, a carefully styled print shirt levels up any ensemble.
Our top tip for work parties is to pair print shirts with suit jackets in block colours. Keep prints worn underneath smaller, and more detailed, as bigger prints can sometimes get lost in the suit. A prime candidate for layering is the Keiynan Short Sleeve Print Shirt. Made from a cotton blend, this shirt has a slim fit silhouette, an exclusive SABA print and a premium, ultra-soft finish.
In lieu of a tie, try out interesting accessories. A contrasting pocket square, interesting lapel pin or cufflinks, for instance, will draw the eye subtly to the shirt and add to the character of the ensemble.
The easiest way to reinvent the print shirt look is to do away with jeans. Replace denim with the more refined chino for a look that’s instantly elevated, without being overly formal.
The perfect pulled-back print for laidback weekends, our Olivier Short Sleeve Classic Print Shirt is a muted take on an Australian classic. Made from 100% cotton voile, this classic fit shirt has a super soft fabric finish and an exclusive SABA print.
Match with chinos to update from casual to smart casual. Teamed with a navy or stone pant like our Baxter Slim Chino Pant, a printed shirt adds a splash of colour to tailored trousers.
Redefine classic corporate with a carefully styled print for the office. Choose dark, moody prints to keep things unfussy. Let the print speak for itself by pairing with muted colours and minimal accessories. A modern print shirt can be the easiest way to hit refresh on the regular work rotation and men’s floral dress shirts like the Alexi Short Sleeve Classic Print Shirt rarely go out of style. Made from 100% cotton satin, this shirt has a soft finish and an exclusive SABA print.
Whether it's incorporating bold prints into a professional ensemble or embracing vibrant patterns for casual outings, print shirts open up a world of possibilities. When styled correctly, patterned dress shirts work for almost everyone. Floral, polka dots, and geometric patterns are pleasing to the eye, and are yet to go out of style. When in doubt, pick a key colour from the print and mirror in a pair of shoes or accessories for an instantly pulled-together look.
