The Ensemble: Summer Checks Appeal

A rule of thumb for most people would be to avoid clashing patterns, but who wants to dress like ‘most people’? In this versatile summer look, we’ve brought together two different checks in contrast tones to create a bold look with lots of depth. The navy blue Atlanta Short Sleeve Shirt grounds the fit with its muted tone and loose shape, while our pleated seersucker shorts create texture and interest thanks to the tonal brown plaid. Undeniable check appeal, bookended with a pair of our black hi-shine leather tassel loafers.
