For some, the thrill of travel comes not from visiting exciting places or even scoring the next flight deal—it’s planning the outfits. The best vacation shirts for men (really, the best menswear shirts that anyone can pack in their suitcase) work for a variety of occasions, from hanging out at the beach in Miami to shopping in local artsy neighborhoods of Mexico City to dining at elegant restaurants at the resorts of Amalfi. To help you get ready for your next sun-soaked trip, here are 43 options for some of the best shirts to pack for a summer vacation.
Below are five types of shirts to bring on vacation that can work for a multitude of settings and situations: printed shirts, linen button-downs, knit polos, athleisure tops, and classic white T-shirts. If you’re packing light, it’s all the more important to make sure that what you bring works with other pieces that make it into your bags; even better if they’re easy to wash in case you’re going on a longer trip. If you’re flying, pack one or two of these shirts in your carry-on in case you lose your checked luggage. The selections here come in at multiple price points, and one or two of each—plus a short, a trouser, shoes, and some underwear—will make for a flexible capsule wardrobe fit for most summer vacation plans.

And if the fabric feels a little bit rough, good linen softens with repeated wearing and washing (read the care label; most linen shirts are best in cool water and dried on a line in the shade). Nothing says easy breezy vibes like classic white linen, but color on vacation is always a good idea.
Remember “going out” tops? Those weirdly business-casual outfits you wore to the club (or the pre-game at senior housing in college)?
