NOLS Pastel Blue Cotton Textured Shirt

This pastel blue textured short-sleeve button-up surprised me in the best way. The 100% cotton feels light and breathable, so it’s easy to wear in warm weather, and the texture gives a simple, solid color some character without being loud. I’ve thrown it on with jeans and also with chinos, and it looked equally put-together either way. The fit, for me, was comfortable and felt right through the body and sleeves. The cut leans a little relaxed/boxy, which I actually liked for a casual vibe. Most would call it a good, easy fit, though if you prefer a closer silhouette, going down a size could make sense. Overall, it’s a short-sleeve button-up that doesn’t try too hard but still stands out because of the feel and texture. Construction feels solid and the fabric quality is excellent. I’m not usually into textured shirts, but this one won me over once I put it on. It’s the kind of piece you reach for when you want something simple that still looks intentional and pulled-together, especially when the weather heats up. If fit is your main concern, just know it can run a touch roomy, but the overall look and comfort made it an easy yes for me.
