There’s a kind of summer dressing that relies on slogans, linen-blend polos, and stretchy chinos with faux patina. That’s not what we’re here for.
Refinement in summer isn’t about avoiding heat—it’s about choosing pieces that work with it. Lightweight tailoring, clean lines, and honest cloth. Every item should breathe, hold shape, and say nothing more than it needs to.
Below are a few of the combinations we’ve been building lately. Use them as templates, not rules.
1. The High-Low Jacketed Look
Structured up top, relaxed below. No loudness, no irony—just clarity.
When to wear it: gallery walks, Saturday client coffee, quiet restaurants with excellent air conditioning.
2. The Midweek Uniform
Built for repetition. Sharpened by discipline.
When to wear it: Tuesday through Friday. No decision fatigue.
3. The Off-Duty Drape
More relaxed in silhouette, but not in standards.

De Bonne Facture: Two Pocket Overshirt - Grape Red Belgian Wool Linen

Cohérence: Abiquiu Western Shirt - Ivory Linen/Cotton Chevron
When to wear it: Weekend afternoons, backyard drinks, anywhere without urgency.
These aren’t trends. These are tools. Choose pieces that speak softly and carry form—garments that will still make sense ten summers from now.
You don’t have to try harder. You just have to try with intention.
