THOMAS PINK

New line in linen shirting —

High summer is the only time you can wear a linen shirt in the UK and not look like an oligarch on a layover. Ideal for that tricky, hot weather smart/casual dress code, Thomas Pink’s new linen shirts are cut on the casual block, so they’re looser than its poplin dress shirts and far more breathable. Some are pre-washed to make them even softer; on each, the collar is relaxed, while cuffs are button-up. If you have a beach holiday booked and you don’t have a linen shirt for sundowners, you’re a madman. Blue/white striped linen shirt, £100; grey, £115; white, £115, all by Thomas Pink; thomaspink.com
