Red hot and blue!

Style icon Jeanne Beker weighs in on this season’s must-have item, the denim shirt

I DREAM OF JEAN

BURBERRY DENIM SHIRT $290

“The hottest trend this season is denim, and there’s been so much experimentation with fabrication. I love a denim shirt, and there are all kinds out there. This is a lovely one with details like plaid in the collar and cuffs, metal buttons and nice stitching that gives a rugged feel to it. It’s a great, basic denim shirt.”

Where to get it: Holt Renfrew, 50 Bloor St. W., 416-922-2333

BOYFRIEND BUILT

BEN SHERMAN DENIM SHIRT $128

“A simple denim shirt. This is a good men’s shirt if you are going for the boyfriend look.” For bigger shirts, Beker suggests cinching the waist with a belt.

Where to get it: Carbon
2581 Yonge St., 416-487-0795

BLUE LIGHT

FRANK & EILEEN BARRY SHIRT $210

“Linen isn’t for everyone, but if you like the wrinkled look of it, this is a nice lightweight shirt for the season that’s a little different from the heavier denim.”

Where to get it: TNT Blu
392 Eglinton Ave. W., 416-544-8544

BLUES TRAVELLER

TOMMY DENIM SHIRT $69

“This pullover is good for something a bit different. I like the sleeves, but you might want to wear something underneath because it’ll show on the sides.”

Where to get it: Tommy Hilfiger
4 Aggie Hogg Gardens, 416-384-0916

CLASSIC COWBOY

LEVI'S WESTERN SHIRT $70

“This is a strong, no-nonsense, functional shirt. It’s simple and not fussed over. It’s the real McCoy. I prefer something classic like this over a distressed look.”

Where to get it: TNT Blu
392 Eglinton Ave. W., 416-544-8544
