Best pastel shirts for men to check out: If you like the idea of colour but don’t want anything loud, pastels are the sweet spot. They feel softer, cleaner, and surprisingly flattering—especially when you want to look fresh without overdoing it.
Top 5 pastel shirts for men to consider on Myntra
These picks have been curated from Myntra to help you ease into lighter shades without feeling out of your comfort zone. It’s a short list built for everyday wear—subtle colour, strong confidence.
If you’re bored of the same navy/white rotation, soft shades like peach, mauve, sky blue, beige, and rust pink are the easiest upgrade that still feels wearable. They look fresh, photograph well, and they don’t scream for attention—especially when the shirt cut is clean and the collar is right for the occasion. The trick is choosing by use case first: formal shirts need a sharper collar and a neater slim fit for tucking in, while casual shirts can be more relaxed (extra pockets, linen blends, mandarin collars) and still look polished with jeans or chinos.
Fabric makes a big difference with these colours. Pure cotton feels crisp and comfortable for longer hours, cotton–linen blends feel airy and “vacation casual,” and polyester options are typically low-fuss for daily wear when you want something that holds shape easily.
Arrow Pure Cotton Self-Design Geometric Manhattan Slim Fit Formal Shirt
This Arrow Manhattan formal shirt comes in a peach textured self-design with a clean cutaway collar, full button placket, long sleeves, curved hem, and a single patch pocket. It’s made from 100% cotton and cut in a slim fit, which makes it the most boardroom-ready option here—sharp enough for trousers and a blazer, but still interesting because of the subtle geometric texture.
Style notes
- Pair with charcoal trousers for a modern formal combo; keep the belt/shoes in dark brown or black.
- A cutaway collar balances wider tie knots and also looks clean when worn open-collar.
Roadster Men Mauve Regular Fit Solid Cotton Linen Casual Shirt
Roadster’s mauve casual shirt leans relaxed but still looks structured thanks to a spread collar and full button placket. The fabric blend is 70% cotton and 30% linen, which is a great combo when you want that breathable, slightly textured “linen look” without the extreme creasing of pure linen. Two flap pockets add a utility vibe, making it nice for weekend styling.
Style notes
- Wear it untucked with off-white chinos or light-wash denim for a clean, airy outfit.
- Flap pockets naturally make it more casual—skip a tie and keep footwear relaxed (white sneakers or suede loafers).

VASTRADO Men Sky Blue Slub Textured Shirt
This VASTRADO shirt is a textured casual option in sky blue, designed in a relaxed fit with a cutaway collar, full button placket, curved hem, and a patch pocket. It’s made from polyester and machine washable, which suits anyone who wants a low-maintenance shirt that still looks “done.” The slub texture keeps the solid colour from looking flat.
Style notes
- Looks best with dark jeans and clean sneakers for a simple, everyday outfit.
- Because it’s relaxed fit, roll the sleeves once or twice to keep the silhouette sharper.
Snitch Men Beige Solid Slim Fit Casual Shirt
Snitch delivers a clean, modern casual shirt in beige with a mandarin collar and a slim fit silhouette. It’s made from 100% cotton with a full button placket and curved hem, and it skips the chest pocket—so the front looks minimal and sharp. This is the easiest option here to style “smart casual” without trying.
Style notes
- Mandarin collars look great with the top button open; add a watch and keep the rest simple.
- Pair with black jeans or olive chinos for a high-contrast, clean look.
Mast & Harbour Rust Pink Casual Linen Cotton Shirt
This Mast & Harbour shirt comes in a rust pink tone with a regular fit and a button-down collar, finished with a curved hem, full button placket, and one patch pocket. The fabric blend (57% linen, 43% cotton) leans more linen-forward, so it’s a strong warm-weather pick that feels breathable and relaxed. It’s the kind of shirt that looks better slightly lived-in rather than super crisp.
Style notes
- Style with beige chinos, tan loafers, and a braided belt for an easy weekend look.
- Button-down collars keep the neckline tidy even when you’re not wearing a blazer.

FAQ
Which shirt is most suitable for formal office wear?
The Arrow Manhattan slim-fit formal shirt is 100% cotton and comes with a cutaway collar and subtle self-design texture, which makes it the most formal-ready option in this lineup.
Which shirt will feel coolest in warm weather?
Cotton–linen blends are usually the most breathable for heat, and the Roadster mauve (70% cotton, 30% linen) and Mast & Harbour rust pink (57% linen, 43% cotton) are built for that lighter feel.
What’s the easiest way to dress up a mandarin-collar shirt?
Keep everything else clean and structured—dark jeans or tapered chinos, a belt, and loafers or minimal sneakers. A slim-fit mandarin collar shirt like the Snitch beige option already looks sharp because it skips the chest pocket and keeps the front clean.
Do flap-pocket shirts look formal?
Not really—flap pockets push a shirt into casual territory, which is great for weekends and travel, but less ideal for strict formal office settings. The Roadster shirt’s double flap pockets are best treated as smart-casual.
How do you style soft shades without looking washed out?
Add contrast through trousers and shoes—charcoal, navy, black, or olive bottoms usually ground peach/mauve/rust shades well, and a darker belt/shoe colour helps the outfit look sharper.
