A short-sleeved button-down shirt is very Beach Boys... ideal for warmer weather, surfboard optional. This one is made of striped cotolino from Italy with a easy-to-wear sky blue ground that tamps down the orange. The collar roll is particularly good, and there's also a button at the back of the collar. It's an old-school detail originally designed to keep your tie in place, but we just like the way it looks. And, as always, there are extra-thick buttons, a long-enough-to-stay-tucked-in shirttail, and an overall cut that's slim but never skinny. (FYI Sid likes the extra length, but you can always get it shortened.)
