Flannel Shirt

A cotton-blend flannel shirt in dark grey, cut to sit well on the body with room to move. It works for a day at the office just as easily as an afternoon outdoors, thanks to the brushed cotton-polyester weave that adds a bit of warmth without stiffness.

If you want one shirt that shifts between formal and relaxed, this is the one. Wear it buttoned up for a clean look, or open over a T-shirt when you want something easier.

How to wear it

• With a blazer and smart trousers for the office
• With jeans and trainers for everyday
• Open over a T-shirt with chinos for smart casual

Not for you if you want a crisp, poplin-style shirt; flannel has a softer, warmer feel by nature.
