I’m a firm believer that every closet needs a good button-up shirt — preferably slightly oversize, preferably in the color white (but to each their own). I had been on the hunt for a new one for a while when I stumbled upon the Echo Double Gauze Boyfriend Shirt ($79), and ever since it arrived, I can’t stop wearing it.

This is my first piece from Echo, a New York City-based brand that started in the 1920s as a scarf company. Now, the brand carries much more, with a full line of accessories, home items, loungewear, and beachwear. Though the Double Gauze Boyfriend Shirt technically falls into the resort/beachwear category, it’s truly something you can wear year-round. Ahead, I go into more detail on why I think the Echo Double Gauze Boyfriend Shirt is worth a buy.

What I Like About the Echo Double Gauze Boyfriend Shirt

The Echo Double Gauze Boyfriend Shirt comes in six colors: Rosewater, a pale pink; Sienna, a rusty red; Infinity Blue, a deep ocean-blue; Cream, a true off-white; Black, self-explanatory; and Beach Glass, a pale aqua. I opted for the Cream shirt because my wardrobe color palette is very minimal and I wanted a basic item that I’d be able to wear again and again. This button-down is made from a super-soft, 100 percent cotton double gauze material that is thick but feels really light and airy — not the least bit scratchy. It also features a sunglasses pocket on the front and sleeves that can be easily rolled up.

What I really love about this shirt is how versatile it is. You can wear it as a beach cover-up, fully buttoned as a classic shirt, layered under a sweater, or tied to make it cropped — the possibilities are truly endless.
