Copy Paste: the short-sleeved shirt is a must-have for relaxed summer looks

Loose shirts with short sleeves are the ideal addition to your warm-weather wardrobe. Stylist Millie Holmes shows you how to combine the short-sleeved shirt in a casual but stylish way.

Summer calls for comfortable and flexible items of clothing that can be easily adapted to different occasions. A job that the short-sleeved shirt does perfectly. It can be worn as a top, jacket replacement or beach cover-up and, depending on the combination, can be styled in a more chic or more casual way. Oversized styles made from breathable materials such as cotton, linen or viscose not only impress with their modern look, but also with their comfortable feel.

You'll find the largest selection in the men's department. There are numerous short-sleeved shirts with various patterns - from stripes and paisley to the summer classic par excellence: floral prints. My advice here is to go for abstract or graphic floral motifs instead of classic floral patterns. They often look more interesting and trendy. Stylist and influencer Millie Holmes provides a great example of this

She skilfully combines her black and white shirt with a graphic floral pattern with casual and elegant elements to create an exciting mix of styles. The mini skirt with side slit creates a feminine balance to the oversized blouse and mules. Millie further enhances the outfit with several earrings and rings as well as a necklace and a bracelet - the relaxed look could do with that. The stylist adds a splash of colour with an orange bag, while the aviator glasses pick up on the nonchalant vibe of the outfit.

Has endless love for shoulder pads, Stratocasters and sashimi, but a limited tolerance for bad impressions of her Eastern Swiss dialect.
