Portofino Dune Cuban Shirt: A Neutral Striped Camp Collar
The Portofino Dune is House of Suave's sand-toned striped cuban shirt: a relaxed camp collar style cut in a breathable linen blend and made to order in sizes L to 10XL. It costs Rs 1,949, and its soft dune stripe is the easiest of our three cuban shirts to wear with almost anything, from off-white trousers to dark denim.
If you have been searching for a neutral striped camp collar shirt that reads as considered rather than loud, this is the one to reach for. Below we cover what a cuban shirt actually is, how the Portofino Dune is built, and three honest ways to wear it through the day.
What is a cuban shirt?
A cuban shirt is a short, open collar shirt designed to sit flat and relaxed, worn without a tie. The collar has no stand, so it folds into a soft V at the neck. You will see the same style searched under several names: camp collar shirt, revere collar shirt, and, because of its holiday roots, sometimes a vacation shirt or bowling shirt. They all describe the same easy collar. The Portofino Dune keeps that classic camp collar shape and pairs it with a fine vertical stripe, so it stays smart while feeling like a holiday.
If you are new to the collar, our guide to how to wear a cuban shirt walks through the basics of fit and styling before you commit to a shade.
The Portofino Dune, up close
The Portofino Dune takes its name from the pale, sun-warmed sand of the Ligurian coast. The stripe runs in soft dune and cream, a low-contrast pairing that keeps the shirt quiet and versatile rather than bold. Because the tones are neutral, it behaves almost like a plain shirt in an outfit while still adding texture up close.
It is cut in a breathable linen blend with the same open camp collar as the rest of our cuban line, and it is made to order in sizes L to 10XL. The relaxed body and short collar are built for warm weather and unhurried days, which is exactly where a cuban shirt belongs.
How to style the Portofino Dune
1. Daytime and travel
This is where the Portofino Dune shines. Wear it open over a plain white or stone tee with off-white or beige trousers and loafers or clean sneakers. The neutral stripe reads as tonal and calm, ideal for a resort breakfast, a market walk, or a long travel day. Roll the sleeves once and let the collar sit open.
2. Evening, buttoned up
Button it fully and tuck it into darker trousers, navy or charcoal, and the same shirt turns into an evening piece. The low-contrast stripe stops it from looking too casual, so it holds its own at a dinner or a relaxed celebration. Add a leather sandal or a suede loafer to keep it soft.
3. Layered for a cooler night
On a breezy coastal evening, layer the Portofino Dune under a plain overshirt or a light knit. The sand tone sits comfortably beneath deeper colours, so it works as a quiet base rather than the loudest thing in the outfit.

Sizing and fit
Every House of Suave cuban shirt, the Portofino Dune included, is made to order in sizes L to 10XL. The cut is relaxed through the body by design, so the shirt drapes rather than clings. If you are between sizes and want a cleaner line, size down; if you prefer the true camp collar drape, take your usual size. Because it is made to order, the Portofino Dune stays available even when a size looks low in stock.
