Style Meets Function: The Best Shirts I’ve Worn This Summer

As a 35-year-old professional who values both style and comfort, I recently gave several pieces from Fair Harbor a try — and I’m genuinely impressed. Here's my take on five standout shirts that’ve elevated my everyday wardrobe.

1. White Linen Button-Down Shirt

Perfect for the office or an outdoor brunch, this shirt balances breathability and elegance. The linen is top-notch — soft, crisp, and surprisingly wrinkle-resistant after a full day of wear. It has a natural drape that flatters without trying too hard.

2. Performance Long Sleeve Shirt

Lightweight yet structured, this shirt quickly became my go-to for early morning commutes. The moisture-wicking fabric actually performs — no sweat patches even after a 30-minute walk to work. It feels tailored but not tight, and looks clean enough to pair with chinos.

3. Printed Polo Shirt

I wasn’t a polo guy—until this one. The subtle print gives it a modern edge, and the collar stays put all day (no curling!). It holds shape after washes and stretches just enough to keep you moving freely during long meetings or casual Fridays.

4. Recycled Active Tee - Blue

This tee is absurdly soft — I’m talking second-skin soft. I’ve worn it for jogging and errands, and it never clings awkwardly. Bonus: it’s made from recycled bottles. Comfortable and sustainable? Big win.

5. Recycled Active Tee - Rose

A bolder color choice for me, but I got compliments the first time I wore it. The same buttery fabric as the blue tee, just in a more fashion-forward tone. It works well under a blazer or on its own for a coffee date.
