Seeing that it’s already October and the temperature has hit a cool 23 degrees (in Sydney, at least), Aussie blokes are now dusting off their trusty linen shirts, or if they’re a newcomer, they’re on the hunt for the perfect staple to wear this summer.
If 90% of Aussie males are about to don these breezy beauty’s, it’s worth casting your net a little wider to make sure you don’t rock up to a Sunday session on the Hamptons wearing the same kit as old mate across the deck.
