Summer is almost here, and there’s no time like the present to get some clothes for the weather. H&M have their resort shirts ready for the hot weather, with floral styles and patterns to add some colour to your outfits.
The good thing about the H&M range of shirts is that it’s affordable fashion. You don’t need to spend a fortune on a shirt you might only wear a handful of times this year.
Here’s the best of what’s on offer so far.
When it comes to summer outfits, there’s so many different looks you can go for. That very much depends on your own style, the occasion and what you feel comfortable wearing.
I got myself a summer shirt last year as you can see above. I really like it, it’s something just a little bit different and fun for the summer.
You don’t have to make it your daily wear, it’s definitely good to have in the wardrobe when you want to change it up. Since the H&M range isn’t expensive, it’s not a big outlay either.
Floral shirts and patterned shirts are good for this season, you can really go to town on the design. They’re supposed to be a bit out there, a bit distinctive and can show off your not so serious side.
If you’re looking to show a bit of personality with your clothing in the heat, these shirts can help.
Flowers and fruit is what you get with this shirt.
The all over print consists of tropical fruit and trees on the backdrop of a sky blue shirt. Large prints which cannot be ignored. It comes with a French collar and costs £12.99.
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob Squarepants! If you love a bit of Spongebob, this is the summer shirt for you.
Printed with pink flamingos, green leaves and the great man himself. This costs £12.99
This is my favourite of all the resort shirts. It features various flowers printed all over the shirt.
The print is on a black backdrop of the shirt, which really sets off the pattern. It’s short sleeve, there’s a chest pocket, and it’s a great casual shirt. This costs £12.99
A patterned shirt which is understated, this is something to consider. It has leaves printed in a fashion which makes it more toned down in the colours, while still being a resort shirt.
Grab this one for £9.99.
A large printed shirt which is basically two colours, various shades of green print on an off white shirt.
The printed green is done in an oversized manner, which really stands out. Get this one for £9.99
More of a tonal pattern, this one features a green shirt with darker green leaves printed all over. It has a real safari vibe to it, and if that’s your style, you can get this for £9.99.
When flowers meets leaves in a pattern, this is what you get. A relaxed fit and a straight cut hem keeps the fit of the shirt casual. This costs £9.99
Last up is this resort shirt with all over print. I love the colours of this shirt, which combines a dark blue shirt and lighter blue pattern print which goes so well together.
This is the most understated of all the shirts, meaning you can wear this without too much fuss being made. It comes in at £9.99.

What To Wear With A Resort Shirt
When it comes to styling one of these resort shirts, you can combine a wide range of clothes from your wardrobe.
When it comes to your upper half, you can wear this shirt on it’s own, or later it with a T Shirt underneath. You can then wear it open and unbuttoned, exposing your T Shirt.
A note on this layering: Since the shirt has all the pattern, you’ll want to pick out a plain colour T Shirt to compliment the colour of the floral shirt. Stay away from stripes, patterns or graphics on your T-shirt.
On your lower half you can have a choice of light or dark jeans, chinos or casual trousers. Finally for your footwear you can opt for a pair of casual shoes or trainers.
When To Wear The Resort Shirt
I would suggest that the best time to wear one of these would be a casual summer event. If you’re looking for what to wear to a BBQ, the resort shirt could be a good casual option.
The floral shirts also make a good shirt for a night out, if you’re having a more fun night in the summer with drinks on a terrace. Relax with a cocktail in one of these shirts.
Other times you might want to consider a resort shirt is if you’re lucky enough to be going on holiday somewhere hot. They’ll look good around the pool and your style will fit right in.
Whether you’re abroad or doing a staycation, these shirts make good beach style too.
And there you have it, some great casual shirts for this summer you can check out. Make at least one of these part of your wardrobe staple for the summer.
They’re affordable and fun to wear if you’re looking for some casual wear this summer.
