Round Two: Styling the Riviera Linen Shirt

Round Two: Styling the Riviera Linen Shirt

As we bask in the final few weeks of soft September skies, now is the best time to make the most of the season and style the French Linen One Piece Collar Riviera Shirt while it's still warm.

The versatility and timeless appeal of the Riviera Shirt deserves more than just one style journal, so we created a second one to truly do it justice. Crafted with quality in mind, this shirt can be styled to suit any setting, whether it be for casual or formal occasions, offering a perfect blend of comfort and sophistication. Our linen is sourced from France and the shirt itself crafted in Japan by makers who are renowned for their commitment to the finest of details and craftsmanship. The shirt is made using a lightweight, breathable linen fabric with a silky finish that wears really well over time, creating a unique patina. The Riviera Shirt is a piece you'll find yourself reaching for again and again.

In this second journal, we explore the subtle details such as its breathable linen and perfect fit that makes it a true wardrobe investment.

Look One:

Denim-on-denim is a popular styling choice especially in colder weather, and we believe that linen-on-linen is the warmer weather equivalent. This is a fashionable choice that is both comfortable and stylish. When worn together, the natural texture of the linen creates a seamless yet polished look, adding depth and personality to the outfit.

For a relaxed afternoon by the water, you can pair the Riviera Shirt with a light pair of white linen trousers to put together an effortlessly elegant outfit. Complete the look with black loafers for that perfect finishing touch.

Look Two: 

If double linen is too casual for the occasion, the great thing about the Riviera Shirt is that you can always opt for a more classic approach by pairing it with a crisp pair of taupe trousers. This is the perfect balance between smart and casual. The blend of the earthy tones of olive and taupe create a sophisticated palette. While the olive brings depth and richness, the taupe trousers add a neutral contrast to keep the overall look balanced without being overly formal. It's a pairing that works through seasons. The best thing about this outfit is that you can pair it with both black and brown loafers. Depending on whether you would like to stay within the muted palette and opt for brown, or add a touch of contrast to the outfit by styling with black loafers as we have below. You can't go wrong either way.

Look Three:

This third look elevates the outfit above by adding a touch of formality. The olive shirt and taupe trousers remain, but this time they are styled with the stunning addition of a double breasted blazer in cream. The loose silhouette of the blazer complements the slightly rumpled, relaxed fit of the Riviera Shirt. The perfect elegant yet casual look. The pictures below speak for themselves.

Alongside our initial Style Journal covering the ways in which you can style the Riviera Linen Shirt (which you can find here), we hope to have provided you all with enough inspiration. Should you require any further guidance on styling this particular piece or any other Colhay's garments, please do not hesitate to contact us.
