Culturata - Washed Denim Woven Sport Shirt
X
Tailored Outfit.
Why is it a Find? Since we’re talking denim this week, let’s talk about the perfect denim shirt. This one from Culturata, an amazing Italian company, is a blend of lightweight cotton denim and linen. The result is truly luxe, with rich color and texture. It makes a denim shirt office-ready, and the fine quality ensures it’s super comfortable.
Wear it with: Wear this denim shirt with a pattern lightweight sport coat, as we’re showing in this outfit, or go for a classic cotton or linen navy blazer when you’re heading to the office or a summertime outing. We’re suggesting to pair it with timeless cotton twill pants, but it also looks great with dark jeans – just ensure the wash is darker, not exactly matching. Of course, the high quality of this shirt makes it easy to wear on its own, and under a lightweight sweater, too.
Fit Tip: The fit is contemporary, keeping this denim shirt upscale and not overly casual.
Alternatives: If you prefer an easier fit, this J. Crew shirt is a great option.

The outfit we’ve put together here, pairs this look with cotton twill pants. You can also dress it up with wool trousers, or give it a more casual feel with jeans. Add a tie when you need a polished look for a dressier event or business meeting.
Fit Tip: The fit is contemporary for an updated look.
Alternatives: Peter Millar’s sport coat offers an easier fit and can be worn the same way.

Bonobos - Tailored Fit Washed Chinos

And they come in Tall, too.

Night Out Outfit.
Why is it a Find? Even in the warmer weather, a true dark indigo pair of jeans is any gent’s best friend for a night out look. These Joe’s jeans are not only the perfect dark shade, the whiskering gives them just enough of a “worn-in look”, so they don’t look stiff and brand spankin’ new. Part of Joe’s Kinetic Collection, they are made with a comfort stretch denim that is designed to reduce bagging during wear. So, the super soft fabric feels instantly comfortable, and will keep looking sharp after multiple wears.
Wear it with: For a night out, as we’re showing in this outfit, we suggest pairing these jeans with a patterned button up shirt. You can even add a dark blue subtle pattern sport coat or solid blazer for a dapper finishing touch. Add lace up oxfords, or chukka boots to complete the look. But don’t dismiss them for more casual looks, too. They add a polished vibe to a simple t-shirt and pair of modern leather sneakers.
Fit Tip: Joe’s Classic fit is comfortably modern, with plenty of room in the seat and thigh, and a straight leg that’s not too narrow.
Alternatives: 7 For All Mankind’s jeans are just right for a trimmer, contemporary fit.
