Spring Refresh: Update Your Shirt Rotation

Spring Refresh: Update Your Shirt Rotation

At Oliver Spencer, we've always seen shirts as a central pillar to our collections. They are the glue that stick looks together, providing a valuable layer and a versatile collar to frame the face and create contrast. While you might think a shirt is a shirt is a shirt, factors such as fabric, cut, and collar style can have a profound affect on the quality and how you wear it.  All of our shirts lean into a casual-smart-casual aspect, mostly because of the soft collar constructions we've always favoured, as well as soft fabrics such as organic cotton and linen. 

This season’s collection leans into conscious fabrics that feel as good as they look: soft organic cottons with just enough structure; subtle stripes that create pattern interest; and textures that give your looks depth. We've highlighted our favourite styles from Spring 26 below and how we're wearing them this season and beyond...

Daily Rotation

The New York Special Shirt is the quiet hero of the working week. In the striped Pinwell Blue version you have a really versatile shirt that pairs well when contrasted against navy or cream tones. The Bennett White and Donelly Charcoal are your classic monochrome styles that you can dress every which way. Roll the sleeves, leave the top button undone, and they pair well with our Morton trousers or a pair of selvedge jeans. These are the shirts you reach for on autopilot. The Brook shirt is another everyday dependable - it's our version of the traditional OCDB (Oxford Cloth Button-Down) so it has a naturally preppy aesthetic that works well under crew neck sweaters, knitted cardigans, and half-zips.

Days Off

When the weekend rolls around, opt for a looser silhouette. The Garrison and Atlanta shirts ticks all the boxes here. The Garrison Shirt in Ferguson Pink or Corbet Brown offers a looser, more generous silhouette with a patch pocket and a clean pinstripe that you can pair with any of our relaxed-silhouette trousers for an effortless weekend uniform. The Atlanta Shirt in Patterson Blue is another striped version, only it has been crafted from a beautiful cotton seersucker fabric, making it ideal to wear right the way through summer.

Warm Weather

Come the first properly sunny weekend, reach for the Atlanta Short-Sleeved Shirt in Lennox Multi. A relaxed and breathable organic cotton cloth with a vibrant rust tone gingham check, it’s the perfect dance partner to our khaki or cream trousers, as well as tailored shorts. The same silhouette is also available in our striped Ferguson Pink cloth, and Perkins Blue, a pastel tone comprised of a cotton and linen blend. The short-sleeved Quito shirt is another classy option. First introduced in the Autumn 25 collection, it is our take on a classic Western shirt, reworked with a cleaner, more contemporary feel. Cut with a relaxed, straight fit, it features a traditional yoke construction and two chest pockets that reference vintage workwear without feeling overtly nostalgic.

Occasions

For those moments that call for a little more presence, the Conduit Classic Shirt delivers quiet confidence. Available in Nash Blue, Mayhew White or Collins White/Blue, the spear collar sits neatly under a lightweight blazer, and the slightly longer length tucks cleanly. Wear it with our Pleated or Fishtail Trousers as part of a suit or separates for a dressed aesthetic without trying too hard.

 
 
 

Build your spring wardrobe around these cornerstones and the rest falls into place. A couple of New York Specials for the daily grind, a Garrison or Atlanta for downtime, a couple of short-sleeved heroes for the heat, and a Conduit Classic for the moments that matter. Four or five shirts, endless combinations, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing you’re properly equipped for whatever the season throws at you.
