Tip Top's Summer Favourites: Short Sleeve Sport Shirts for Every Occasion
Men's Short Sleeve Button Up Shirts
Tip Top has dressed Canadian men since 1909, and short sleeve shirts are the part of the wardrobe that works hardest between May and September. This collection covers short sleeve sport shirts, short sleeve dress shirts and polos in Modern Fit and Slim Fit, sized S through 2X. Short sleeve button up shirts anchor it.
Every style ships free over $99, and 102 Tip Top stores across Canada will fit you in person.
A Range of Short Sleeve Shirts for Any Style
Button Up Styles, Camp Collar and Polo Styles
- Button up shirts close down the full front placket and take a tucked or untucked finish equally well. They suit office settings and casual outings alike. Prints and solid dark shades handle everything from a patio dinner to a golf weekend. With classic collars and clean lines, they suit office settings and casual outings alike.
- Button down shirts are the subset with a collar buttoned to the body.
- The camp collar, sometimes called a Cuban collar, lies flat and open at the neck, which reads relaxed rather than formal.
- A short sleeve polo offers knit fabric, a ribbed collar, and no placket past the chest.
Choose the button up for warm weather occasions with a dress code, the camp collar for vacation, and the polo shirt for golf and weekend errands.
Short Sleeve Dress Shirts or Sport Shirts?
A short sleeve dress shirt uses woven shirting fabric, a structured collar and a full placket, so it holds a crisp line under a blazer. Collar shape sets the register. A point collar stays narrow and classic, a spread collar opens wider, and a button down collar tacks the points to the body.
A short sleeve woven shirt cut as a sport shirt runs looser and leans on pattern and texture instead of formality. A dress shirt suits the office. A sport shirt suits the patio.
Sizing tells them apart too. Our short sleeve dress shirts are sized by neck and sleeve, while sport shirts and casual shirts use alpha sizing from S to 2X. If your day covers both, buy one of each.

The Ideal Short Sleeve Shirt for Every Man
Fit decides whether a short sleeve shirt looks deliberate or borrowed. Tip Top offers Modern Fit and Slim Fit across the collection, in sizes from S to 2X, so a range of body types get the same clean line. The sleeve should end mid-bicep. The hem should clear your belt by a few inches if you plan to wear it untucked.
Our associates measure this in store, at no charge, and a perfect fit costs nothing extra.
Modern Fit and Slim Fit, Explained
Modern Fit is our straight-cut silhouette, with extra room through the chest, arms and waist. Slim Fit tapers from chest to waist for a closer line. Neither is a formality grade. Both come in dress shirts, sport shirts and polos.
Pick Modern Fit if you want a relaxed fit that skims rather than clings, or if you are between sizes and prefer comfort. Pick Slim Fit if you tuck often or wear a blazer over your shirt. Coming from another brand? Regular fit and standard fit shoppers usually land in our Modern Fit.
Between the two? Try both in store. It takes four minutes.
Sizing, Sleeve Length and In-Store Fitting
Men's short sleeve shirts at Tip Top are sized two ways.
- Casual shirts, polos and tees use alpha sizing. Measure your chest at the fullest point and match it to the chart.
- Short sleeve dress shirts use neck size instead, measured at the base of the neck with one finger of room.
Our size guide carries every chart, including extended sizing up to 4X on selected styles.
In store fitting is where this gets fast. Bring the pants you plan to wear, and an associate will check the shoulder seam, the sleeve length, and the hem in one pass. Big and tall shoppers should call ahead, since extended sizing varies by location.
Fabrics Built for Canadian Warm Weather
Fabric does more work than colour in July. Cotton breathes, linen moves air, and stretch blends keep their shape through a full day. Tip Top builds this collection around breathable materials rather than novelty, which is why a shirt bought for a wedding in Halifax still works for an office in Calgary.
The weave matters as much as the fibre. Here is what we carry and why.
Cotton, Linen and Seersucker
Cotton is the baseline: machine washable, easy care, and forgiving in heat. Poplin gives a smooth flat surface, pinpoint adds a fine texture that resists wrinkling, and oxford weaves a heavier basket pattern that suits a casual shirt. Linen and our linen-like blends run cooler than any of them and wear their creases as part of the look.
Seersucker puckers by design, so the fabric lifts off the skin. Jersey knits do the same job with stretch instead of structure. Chambray reads like denim at a fraction of the weight. Herringbone and slub textures add depth to a solid shirt without a print.
Our linen-like shirts are the fastest way into this category, and our guide to cotton vs linen vs wool explains the trade-offs.
Stretch, Breathable and Wrinkle-Free Finishes
Finishes are where a shirt earns its keep on a Tuesday. Wrinkle free and non iron treatments mean a shirt comes out of a suitcase ready. Moisture wicking constructions pull sweat off the skin. UPF-rated woven shirts add sun protection for a patio or a boat.
Our 360 stretch shirts move with you through a full range of motion, and they are machine washable at home.
Two labels lead the category:
- Daniel Hechter Paris builds soft-touch stretch prints and textured solids
- Jermyn and Bond runs tropical and geometric prints on lighter woven cloth
- Both carry Modern Fit sizing in men's shirts from S to 2X
Buy the finish, not the label.

The Latest Short Sleeve Shirt Trends: Must-Haves This Season
Five things are moving this season.
- Modern Fit cuts with a tailored fit through the shoulder
- Geometric and leaf prints on woven shirts
- Textured solids in slub, herringbone and seersucker
- Comfy stretch fabrics across the whole range
- Bright colour, especially across short sleeve casual shirts
Modern Fit silhouettes continue to outsell boxier cuts. Prints are getting bigger. Textured solids are quietly taking shelf space from plain broadcloth. Vibrant colour is back after several muted years.
Prints, Stripes, Checks and Textured Solids
A print carries a shirt on its own, so keep the rest of the outfit quiet. Stripes lengthen the torso. Checks and plaid read casual and pair well with denim. A floral is a summer shirt in the truest sense, and it belongs on a patio rather than in a boardroom.
Textured solids are the safest buy in the collection. Textured weaves give a solid shirt visual interest that photographs well and works under a jacket. Start there if you own two shirts and want a third that goes anywhere.
Colour Choices for Summer Shirts
White and light blue remain the workhorses. Both sit comfortably in business casual and hold their own under a blazer. Navy hides everything. Sage, terracotta and butter yellow have carried the last two summers and still look current.
Dark solids are the exception worth owning: a black or charcoal short sleeve button down shirt reads sharp at an evening event where a print would not.
New arrivals land every few weeks. Browse the current new sport shirts online, or ask an associate what came in this month.
Style Guide: How to Pair Your Short Sleeve Shirts
Men's short sleeve shirts earn their place by pairing well. Three pairings cover almost every occasion a short sleeve shirt is asked to handle. Each one moves the same shirt up or down a dress code without changing anything else you own.
With Dress Pants for Business Casual
Match a tailored short sleeve shirt with dress pants for a polished office wardrobe or a smart casual look. Lighter tones suit daytime, and darker shades carry into an evening. A blazer over the same shirt clears most business casual dress codes.
Our guide to office wear for men covers the rest of the rotation.
With Casual Pants and Chinos
Pair a versatile short sleeve shirt with chinos or casual pants for daytime outings and relaxed office settings. This is the most useful combination in the collection. It works untucked with a camp collar, or tucked with a button-up and a belt. Jeans do the same job with a rougher edge.
With Shorts for Weekends and Vacation
Combine a vibrant short sleeve shirt with shorts and the weekend takes care of itself. Neutral shorts keep a print in check. Bold shorts want a solid or textured shirt on top. Add layering only for air conditioning, not for the street.
Two shirts, one pair of chinos, one pair of shorts: that is a week of vacation packed.
