Suggested fabrics: Light to medium weight woven fabrics with no stretch. Cotton, linen, rayon/viscose challis or poplin, and tencel will work well. Structured fabric will have more dramatic volume and drapier fabrics will have more fluid movement. For a relaxed and breezy summer button-up shirt, the designer recommends rayon challis.
