How to Style a Camp Collar Shirt: 8 Outfits for Men

The camp collar shirt — with its open, notched collar and relaxed fit — is the easiest way to look put together when the weather warms up. It is casual by nature but still reads as intentional.

Choosing your shirt

Short sleeves and a relaxed fit are the classic combo.

Subtle prints, florals, and solids all work well.

Rayon, linen, and cotton keep you cool and drape nicely.

A boxy, slightly roomy cut is the most flattering.

Styling notes

The camp collar is meant to look relaxed, so keep the rest of the outfit easy. Untucked and slightly open is the signature look, but tucking it in instantly elevates it.

Fit matters more than pattern. A shirt that sits well through the shoulders looks intentional, while anything too tight or too long will read sloppy.
