Clutch Cafe Lightning Vol.385 "Open Collar Shirt"

About this product

The May issue is our customary anniversary special. Lightning is celebrating an incredible 32 years since its launch, and it’s all thanks to the continued support of our readers. We’re truly grateful – thank you. We look forward to the next 32 years with you. Across the country, cherry blossoms are beginning to bloom, and it’s that time of year when heavy coats give way to lighter jackets.

As you start sorting through your wardrobe for the seasonal change, you might just rediscover an open-collar shirt tucked away at the back of your closet. Before you know it, your mood shifts from spring straight to summer – perhaps a little early, but after such a bitterly cold winter, it’s only natural to look forward to warmer days.

With that in mind, this month’s feature is a seasonal preview: 'Summer Means Open-Collar Shirts.' In recent years, open-collar shirts – especially aloha shirts – have made a strong comeback. With their relaxed neckline and effortless yet classic appeal, they’re a versatile staple.

Go all out with a bold, summery aloha print, or keep things refined with a monochrome look. Wear them as outerwear or as a layering piece; enjoy them in short sleeves, or opt for long sleeves for a more considered style. This feature includes styling snapshots from apparel brands and shop staff – why not start planning your outfits now?

Alongside this, you’ll also find brand stories from Iron Heart and Betty Smith, as well as features on cars, lifestyle goods, and more – plenty to enjoy in this packed issue. …
