One may think that a British label doing beachwear is somewhat paradoxical, but Orlebar Brown proves the naysayers wrong.
Launched in March 2007, the label takes a more tailored approach to men’s beach and swim shorts – among other summery offerings – capable of taking one from the beach to the bar and beyond.
This season’s stylish set is centred around the idea of ‘island life’ – fitting for a country ‘girt by sea’ and cut off from the world for the better part of two-years due to COVID — and the brand’s incoming loungewear line available on November 18. Here, our favourite picks to get through the sunny season.
Top: Marne Navy/White Stripe Shirt
Comfortably cool, this relaxed fit cotton shirt – woven in Italy, no less – is a louche summer staple. The thin navy and white stripe is contrasted by a navy piping detail at the collar. Bringing 70s style to the fore, the camp collar and chest patch pocket details the shirt and is finished by branded nylon buttons. $375
Bottom: Alfred Navy/White Stripe Pants
Matching the breezy stylings of the shirt is the relaxed fit cotton lounge pant. Fitted with the same piping detail as above, the elasticated side panels at the waist and a tubular drawcord waist fastening make for a comfortable wear. $295
Top: Griffith In Cloud
Picture yourself poolside in this soft terry-towelling relaxed fit lounge shirt. The hip patch pockets, large side vents, drop back hem and Capri collar see it border on ‘robe’ and that’s a good thing. Knitted in Portugal the 50% cotton, 50% nylon shirt is a must. $375
Bottom: Setter Bleu
Orlebar’s signature Setter fit, the label’s shortest, lands here in a rich blue tone. The polyester short is woven in France, manufactured in Portugal and is fitted with adjustable nickel-effect side fasteners. $345
