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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apresse-2026) in their S/S 2010 collection, also combining [pale beige with blue tones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-2) and prints. The question that remains is this: When sporting the [formal jacket / casual shorts combo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineered-garments-x-brooks-brothers), do I go socks with sandals?
