The Men’s Merino Button-Up: A Weekday Staple Fit for the Weekend
Too often, Merino wool gets pigeon-holed as an “activity material,” finding its way into active wear, exercise garments, etc. And that’s fair enough – Merino is a high-performance material that wicks sweat and breathes like no other.
But at Unbound Merino, we feel that limiting Merino wool to active wear is a missed opportunity. And to prove it, we’ve created the ultimate in semi-formal, semi-casual wear: our men's Merino wool button-up shirts. A highly popular part of our men's top collection, the button-up does it all. It’s sophisticated yet comfortable, put-together yet travel-ready.
Why Merino Makes a Difference
Merino wool isn’t like other wools. It’s breathable, sweat-wicking and antimicrobial, ensuring that you stay fresh and cool in the middle of a stuffy boardroom or on a hot day on the beach. At the same time, the material is insulating, shielding you from over Air-conned convention centers or cold snaps in the city. Because of the wool’s tightly coiled fibers, it remains wrinkle-resistant, even when you stuff it at the bottom of a carry-on travel bag.
And best of all, it’s comfortable. Unlike the scratchy wools you remember as a kid, this is a soft, luxurious feel. Because – whether you’re at work, on the road, or bumming around the home – you deserve to feel good in a button-up.
The Perfect Packing Item for Digital Nomads, Bleisure Travelers and More
As workplaces increasingly move online, we’re seeing a sharp rise in both digital nomadism and “bleisure travel.” Digital nomadism is a lifestyle that gained traction about a decade ago, a remote work model that lets you hop around the world at will while making a living. And bleisure travel (a portmanteau of business and leisure) gained popularity during the pandemic, allowing semi-remote workers to mix a little vacation into their work – or vice versa.
In any case, our button up shirts for men are the perfect clothing items for the lifestyle. Their breathability and wrinkle-resistance ensures that you always look good over Zoom. Their insulating capability helps keep you warm through the winter. Unlike other stiff-collared buttons, our men's button up work shirts feel freeing and ultra-soft. And – to be totally frank – they just look amazing.
Dress It Up or Down
You can easily take your weekday look into the weekend with our Merino button-ups. Throw them unbuttoned over our merino wool t shirts or tanks for a casual, beachy vibe. Or simply throw off the tie, unlock that top button and untuck the bottom for a casual night on the town.
When Monday rolls around again, your Unbound Merino button-up won’t betray the wild weekend you had. It’ll be wrinkle-free, fresh smelling and ready to greet another week.
