If I was ordering my Spring/Summer 2010 wardrobe from Uniform Experiment, It would go kinda like this: Ya, I’ll take a single breasted Glen plaid, with a notched lapel, and a side of khaki Bermuda shorts, please.
Uniform Experiment has mixed casual with dress wear in their S/S 2010 collection, also combining pale beige with blue tones and prints. The question that remains is this: When sporting the formal jacket / casual shorts combo, do I go socks with sandals?
