ORLEBAR BROWN

Giles cotton and wool-blend shirt

Slim Aarons photographed the elegant poolsides of the Riviera in the 1960s, a look that became a key inspiration for Orlebar Brown (that, and the desire for an alternative to loud Bermuda shorts). The Giles shirt is made from a soft blend of cotton and wool and captures the brand's 60s-tinged vibe. It's lightweight, layer-able and kinda louche. Wear it over T-shirts for a late summer evening, or over a lightweight turtleneck once the chill arrives.
