Advertise with NZME.A SHORT SLEEVE SHIRT
The return of the boxy short-sleeved shirt is an all-season wonder. Easy to throw on for a casual weekend out but much more polished than a T-shirt, it's another failsafe way to look put together without looking like you tried too hard. Gubb & Mackie shirt $85.
