Mens Shirts

What Types of Men's Shirts Are Available?

City Beach stocks men's shirts in different sleeve lengths, fits, fabrics and patterns. The collection focuses on collared casual shirts, including short sleeve button-ups, long sleeve shirts, flannels, printed resort styles and workwear-inspired designs.

Men's Short Sleeve Shirts

Short sleeve shirts are a major part of the City Beach men's shirts range. These styles typically feature a collar, short sleeves and a button-front fastening, although individual necklines and construction details vary.

City Beach carries short sleeve shirts from Rip Curl, Rhythm, Billabong, Quiksilver, Rusty, RVCA, Lucid, Skylark, Jacks and other brands. Choose from plain, striped, checked and printed designs for different casual outfits.

Men's Long Sleeve Button-Up Shirts

Long sleeve shirts offer additional arm coverage and can be worn buttoned up or open over a T-shirt. City Beach stocks long sleeve styles from Rip Curl, Skylark, Jacks, Quiksilver, Ringers Western, Thrills and The Mad Hueys.

The range includes plain woven shirts, checked designs, flannels and selected workwear-inspired styles. Compare the fabric, sleeve construction and fit when choosing a shirt for layering or everyday wear.

Men's Linen-Blend Shirts

Linen-blend shirts are an option for casual summer and holiday outfits. The City Beach range includes woven shirts that combine linen with other fibres, such as the Skylark Valley Short Sleeve Shirt, which lists a linen and viscose composition.

Not every summer or resort-style shirt contains linen. Some designs use cotton, viscose or other materials, so check the fabric composition when choosing a specific material.

Men's Flannel and Checked Shirts

Flannel shirts are a casual option for layering and cooler-weather outfits. City Beach stocks styles including Rip Curl Count Flanno shirts and Skylark long sleeve flannels.

Checks, plaid and tartan describe different pattern arrangements, while flannel refers to a fabric type. A checked shirt is not necessarily made from flannel.

Compare long sleeve flannels with lightweight checked button-ups if you prefer a different fabric or style.

Men's Resort and Printed Shirts

Resort shirts are associated with relaxed casual styling and often feature short sleeves, distinctive collar shapes or printed designs. City Beach stocks printed shirts and resort-inspired styles from Rhythm, Rip Curl, RVCA, Kiss Chacey and other brands.

Explore tropical, striped, palm, paisley, floral and geometric prints. The exact collar, fit and fabric construction vary between products.

Men's Workwear-Inspired and Oversized Shirts

Workwear-inspired shirts often feature structured collars, patch pockets or contrasting design details. City Beach carries selected Ringers Western work shirts and other casual utility-inspired designs.

The range also includes oversized and relaxed-fit shirts, providing an alternative silhouette to standard-fit button-ups. Check individual products for pocket placement, sleeve length and garment fit.

What's the Difference Between Short Sleeve, Long Sleeve and Resort Shirts?

These descriptions refer to different characteristics of a shirt.

Short sleeve shirts have sleeves that generally finish above the elbow, while long sleeve shirts extend further down the arm.

Resort shirts describe a casual style rather than a specific sleeve length or fabric. They commonly feature relaxed shapes or distinctive prints, but their construction varies.

A shirt can therefore be both short sleeve and resort-inspired, or long sleeve and checked. Compare the full product description rather than relying on one style label.

How Do Men's Shirt Fits Compare?

City Beach stocks men's shirts in standard, relaxed and selected oversized or slim-fit silhouettes.

Standard-fit shirts generally follow a conventional garment shape, while relaxed-fit shirts provide additional room through the body.

Oversized shirts are designed with larger proportions, and slim-fit shirts follow a narrower silhouette. Exact dimensions vary between brands.

For example, the Rip Curl Classic Surf Check Short Sleeve Shirt is listed with a relaxed fit, while the Skylark Valley Short Sleeve Shirt has a standard fit.

When comparing products, consider the chest measurement, shoulder width, garment length and sleeve length. A larger size in a standard-fit shirt is not necessarily equivalent to a deliberately oversized design.

Understanding Shirt Fabrics, Fastenings and Details

Men's shirts at City Beach use different fabric compositions, including cotton, viscose, linen blends and other woven materials.

Selected products feature button-front fastenings, collars, patch pockets and woven branding details. Some designs include different sleeve constructions or utility-inspired finishes.

Fabric composition matters when comparing garments. For example, selected Rip Curl checked shirts use cotton, while some Skylark shirts combine linen and viscose. Other resort-inspired shirts may use viscose fabrics.

A woven shirt does not automatically contain stretch, and the fabric name alone does not establish how a garment will fit. Review individual product specifications and care instructions before purchasing.

Men's Shirt Colours, Patterns and Styles

City Beach's men's shirts collection includes white, black, blue, green, brown, grey and neutral shades, alongside selected brighter and multicoloured designs.

Patterns include plain, striped, printed, plaid, checked, tartan, tropical, paisley, palm, camo, floral and geometric designs.

For versatile styling, a plain black, white or neutral shirt can be paired with jeans, chinos or shorts. Striped and checked shirts provide alternative patterns, while tropical and printed button-ups create a more prominent feature in an outfit.

What Should You Wear with Men's Shirts?

Men's shirts can be styled with different bottoms depending on the occasion, fabric and silhouette.

Shirts with Walk Shorts and Chinos

For casual everyday outfits, pair a short sleeve shirt with men's walk shorts.

Plain, striped or linen-blend shirts also work with men's chinos for a more structured casual look.

Shirts with Denim Jeans

For streetwear and weekend outfits, pair relaxed or oversized shirts with men's jeans, including baggy, straight-leg and relaxed styles.

Wear an open button-up over a plain T-shirt for a layered outfit, or pair a checked shirt with black or blue denim.

Shirts with Cargo and Elastic Waist Shorts

For relaxed summer outfits, combine printed or short sleeve shirts with elastic-waist shorts.

For a utility-inspired look, pair a plain or workwear-style shirt with men's cargo shorts.

How to Style Men's Shirts for Different Occasions

For summer holidays and beachside outfits, choose a short sleeve or resort-inspired shirt with walk shorts and casual sneakers.

For dinners and evenings, compare plain button-ups, striped shirts or darker checked styles with chinos or straight-leg jeans.

For cooler weather, wear a long sleeve shirt or flannel over a T-shirt, or add a layer from the men's hoodies and sweatshirts collection.

For additional casual tops, explore men's tops and T-shirts, including graphic tees, plain T-shirts, singlets and polos.
