Chambray (or batiste), a lightweight, plain weave material -- usually cotton -- makes for a perfect Summer shirt for work or play. Paired with shorts or jeans and you're set for an afternoon in your garden, informal gatherings, or a trip around town.

Land's End offers this Long Sleeve Light Indigo Chambray Shirt ($50). It's a vintage style, with button sleeves, camp pockets, side seam gussets for a comfortable fit, and a shirt tail hem. Machine washable, it is hand crafted from 100% cotton material.
