The Pick: The summer shirt that encapsulates Riviera style
Words: Honor Scott
Tempting as it might be – now the warmer weather has shown its face – to transition seamlessly from classic Oxford shirt to trusty t-shirt, this summer might just be the time to branch out, gentlemen. And there’s no better way to do this than by taking your sartorial inspiration from the Cuban collar trend.
Set yourself apart from the crowd-pleasing short sleeved shirt, by adopting a smattering of vintage charm, and selecting a garment that is due to become the staple of any discerning gentleman. With an open collar not dissimilar from the notch lapel, and straight cut hem. This year’s take on summer style oozes retro 1950s class, yet is effortlessly at home in any modern capsule wardrobe.
This pure cotton crafting by Reiss creates a streamlined look that is as multifunctional as it as in vogue. Whether you choose to dress it up with your favourite blazer or tailored suit, or put it to use in adding a subtle touch of style to your regular off-duty look, it would be a hard task to get this shirt wrong. The classic contradiction of old-school Americana with contemporary cut will never go out of mode. Gentlemen, this is the ultimate shirt for your summer, whether at home or abroad.
