The Tailored Gingham Shirt

Land’s End “Canvas” Line Tailored Gingham Poplin Shirt – $34.50

You’re going to see a lot of bright colors this year.  Mad Men might have resurrected the minimalist clothes color palate, but some designers are swinging in the exact opposite direction.  Some to the point of garishness.

Color is good, so is pattern, but like whiskey, only in moderation.  Upgrading your weekend or casual Friday style can be as simple as injecting a good dose of Gingham.  This classic pattern is on an updated-fit shirt from the new Land’s End Canvas line, and it looks good.  Button down collar keeps it classic, tailored fit allows it to be tucked in or left out.

Chinos, decent shoes, and a cotton blazer can complete the look for work.  Jeans and American Sneaks for the weekend.  Six colors of Gingham are offered, and a few solids as well.  All available for only $34.50.
