This is how you do summer basics without looking like you tried too hard. We blended cotton with linen to get that slightly textured, airy feel that keeps you cool when London actually gets hot, without the extreme creasing of pure linen. It has a reassuring weight that drapes properly instead of clinging. The fit is cut straight and relaxed through the body, featuring a classic crew neckline and a single chest pocket that breaks up the front. It is a smart, understated piece that works just as well tucked into pleated chinos for a pub garden afternoon as it does under an unlined summer suit for a warm-weather wedding.
