Dudes, we hear you. Dressing for the office in the summer is a huge headache. Try as you might, there’s just no easy way of maintaining decorum in the workplace and not be drenched in sweat in the hot summer heat.

Before you start eyeing your lady’s breezy cotton dresses, stop and consider the short sleeve oxford shirt. The oxford shirt, made from a semi-lustrous and basketwoven fabric, has long been a mainstay in the wardrobes of men with jobs, and also ones without—every man must eventually get dressed up for something.

Sure, short sleeve button down shirts might remind you a little of your Boy Scout days, but that’s where Brooklyn’s General Assembly comes in. Sold online and at the Drake General stores, General Assembly makes classic and smart-looking menswear that’s durable, versatile and just a little unexpected. The Dime Pocket Oxford is made from 100% cotton and features a contrasting welted dime pocket and rounded hem. The classic blue colour fabric combined with the relaxed cuffed sleeves lends the piece an understated business casual vibe, and best of all, it’ll leave you feeling as cool as a cucumber.

$105. Available online or in store at Drake General Store, 176 Yonge St., 1144 Queen St. W., 2607 Yonge St., 416-538-2222
