The sun is starting to make an appearance and temperature are up. Time for the 1960s woven button-down shirts at Art Gallery Clothing.
To be honest, they do these shirts all-year-round in some form, but it’s the short-sleeve versions that tend to appear at this time of the year, with spring and summer just about on the doorstep.
The shape and fit is pretty much standard across all the range. So you are looking at the classic button-down collar, along with a back box pleat and darts at the waist for a fitted look. Yes, these are a slim fit.
As for the different designs, they are outlined below, with all available now from the Art Gallery Clothing website for £49, although you can get a 10 per cent discount if you use the code agcmodculture at the checkout.
Note also that you can get a bargain or two from the last season at the Art Gallery Clothing clearance site on eBay.

Love Art Gallery shirts, but why is the pattern not symmetrical on any of them and look at the sleeves where they meet the body of the shirt, to me that is poor design, manufacturing or QCing.
I wont be buying any of those, that’s for sure.
