Hot and Covered...GQ: The Shirt of the Summer (Get It Now)

The Shirt of the
SUMMER
The best chambray shirt in stores now!

A pale blue chambray shirt is as timelessly American as, well, Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke. But what if you're in the market for something a bit more timely? Enter the style-minded gray chambray. It makes for a perfect match with a cotton jacket and tie on a hot city day, or with swim trunks and flip-flops on a sandy beach. Lands' End has issued a version as part of its new Canvas collection. It features a trim fit and an even trimmer price tag. The shirt comes washed and worn-in and arrives at your doorstep ready to throw on. The white stitching gives it authentic workwear detailing without looking like you picked it up at your local hardware store. Gray collar is the new blue collar.
