How to build a summer capsule wardrobe for men
As the weather warms up and events fill your calendar, it's a great time to take stock of your wardrobe. A capsule wardrobe is a great idea for simplifying your wardrobe to essential pieces that work well in various summer settings. Read our tips on how to build yours.
The wear-with-everything shirt
The linen shirt, aka summer's favourite, is a menswear wardrobe staple perfect for warmer days. The cool, lightweight fabric is relaxed, yet can still be dressed up as you please. For more causal days, we recommend rolling the sleeves up and pairing with our Bermuda shorts.

The all-occasion chino
You can never go wrong with chinos. They're the ultimate classic and pretty much go well with everything from tops to shirts. We recommend our straight-fit chinos. They're comfortable and breathable, and the range of neutral shades are perfect for easy AM-PM dressing.
The trusty linen blazer
A linen blazer is a summer essential, perfect for any setting –from office meetings, formal events to after-work drinks. Choose a neutral hue for easy pairing with shirts for a polished look or throw it over a polo for a more casual take.

The extra layer
Summer evenings call for an extra layer of warmth, and that’s where our sweatshirts and hoodies come in. Take our Garment Dye Crew Neck style, it’s versatile enough to layer over shirts, tees and polos, still looking pulled-together but adding a nice pop of summer colour. Which will you choose?
