These Statement Shirts are The Season’s Must-Haves

The notion that a shirt looks best on you if it appears formal or well-fitted is in fact an outdated one. It simply boils down to style as the most authentic means of expression, and refining perceptions of how loud or how outrageous a differently designed shirt could get. Whether it be a smart fit to exude confidence or a relaxed reverie-collared shirt for down-to-earth indications, there will always be a statement shirt for everyone. To make the search easier, here are eight must-have statement shirts from the Spring Summer 2021 season that aligns with every possible personality.

Berluti

While Berluti is known for impeccable tailoring pieces and unique leather goods, the Spring Summer 2021 collection brings to the table a different affair. The savoir-faire ease of dressing combined with the dippy prints from ceramic artist Brian Rochefort is designed for art fanatics alike.

Bottega Veneta

While the thought of wearing a cropped shirt might scare you at first, the Bottega Veneta Salon 01 dressing reiterates the idea of transcending personal style without being too loud. Instead, the white cropped shirt is designed to fit directly above a pair of high-waisted pants and shows little to no skin — an intellectual statement look.

Dior Men

Luxury becomes a statement with this Dior Men silk crepe printed shirt by Kim Jones. It’s a light, summer top that will instantly pair well with white shorts or any kind of light denim. It’s incredibly versatile too and will adapt well even in the office or at the beach.

Ermenegildo Zegna

This one’s for anyone who prefers the quieter definitions of making a statement. The Gen-Zer mantra of dressing works simply as “no one must know that it’s expensive“. Therefore, if dressing in a manner where no one can recognise the price tag is your thing, don’t skip out on this Ermenegildo Zegna shirt that works as an overshirt too.

Fendi

If a quiet sense of romanticism is your thing, this Fendi shirt with a window pane shadow print works well two sizes up and a pair of cargo pants. It’s the kind of statement dressing that gets you jealous when you see a curator in it at a museum.

Gucci

While wearing a pyjama (and especially with Doraemon prints plastered all over it) might not necessarily come off as the dressiest shirt to have, think of it as a layering piece when you’d like the validation of not caring about how you look. Besides, its cuteness is definitely collectively agreeable.

Louis Vuitton

When it comes to making a statement, artistic director of Louis Vuitton Men’s collection, Virgil Abloh does it best. Take for instance the dolls hanging all over a myriad of bold checked prints for his Spring Summer 2021 collection as an example.

Saint Laurent

Saint Laurent creates irreverent pieces that easily elevates one’s style with a slight punk state of mind. This embroidered silk shirt paired with a simple chain necklace is a simple way of expressing confidence without stirring a crowd.
