Trying something new

Morning gents! With the hot weather coming in thick and fast (huge heatwave in London the past week) I’m finally delving in to a style I’ve never tried before - linen.

Having watched a number of Antonio’s YouTube videos on the fabric, I decided to dive right in and purchased a handful of shirts from Charles Tyrwhitt over the bank holiday weekend.

I’m instantly hooked and can’t believe how comfortable it is and how breathable it is. I’ve followed up and ordered myself some linen trousers which are arriving today, so jeans have had to do. I’ve purely gone for jeans as shorts aren’t allowed in our office and my usual work trousers are in the laundry.

I know I’ll need to stay aware of creases, but that’s just a characteristic of the fabric.

I’ve gone for a simple white button down shirt, dark denim, brown double monks (eyes are on some loafers at the moment), a classic Vincero chronos wrist watch and brown leather anson belt.

I’ve never been a huge lover of summer clothes, but I’m keen to add some new pieces to my wardrobe - especially with some exciting trips coming up!
