A Camp shirt is a loose, straight-cut, short-sleeved shirt or blouse with a simple placket front opening and a "camp collar" - a one-piece collar (no collar band) that can be worn open and spread or closed at the neck with a button and loop. It usually has a straight hemmed bottom falling at hip level, not intended to be tucked into trousers, etc. It is often the base for fancier fabrics such as Hawaiian prints, or tropically inspired weaves and patterns.

Another definition of a Camp Shirt: A button-down shirt with a notched collar, boxy cut, straight hem and short sleeves that is often made in cotton for casual effect.
