They also have regular tees without collars, Trouser Snake and Hill in a variety of colours.

Their jeans are highly embellished with studs, fading, buttons and extra patches of denim where you wouldn’t usually expect it.

Finally, it is impossible to write about summer wardrobes without mentioning footwear, in particular, flip-flops.
