Shirts, in all of their various 'guises' are really quite useful to have in your wardrobe. Go for fancy dinners or festivals with long and short sleeved shirts. There's nothing wrong with an old t-shirt, but every once in a while the call of the oxford shirt is too much. Have a gander at Barbour, Polo Ralph Lauren, Carhartt WIP and PS Paul Smith - frankly, they're the best of the best.
