Early-summer weather demands garments that can elevate the ordinary (think Memorial Day barbecues), translate sweat into sprezzatura in high heat, and withstand capricious temperature and precipitation shifts. That’s why there’s a lot to love about Faherty’s spring-summer ’24 line, which I’ve been reaching for in moments ranging from morning dog walks to family reunions.
The supersoft Essential Italian Knit Cord Short, for example, is a luxe addition to any warm-weather outfit—I’ve been pairing it with an ecru Cuban-collar shirt from Percival and Axel Arigato sneakers.
But the star of the show this season is the surfwear brand’s Movement Flex Linen line. It’s a proprietary blend, new for summer 2024, comprising linen, cotton, and a hint of spandex. Tbh, Faherty nailed it with this line, and I expect these pieces to sell quite well.
The shirt jacket feels airy and breezy, but it’s equally easy to wear. Unlike many linen pieces, it holds its form and doesn’t turn into a wrinkly mess as soon as you check your phone. I haven’t tried the Movement jacket-trouser combo, but it looks perfect for your best friend’s park wedding this summer.
For more casual occasions, note that Faherty’s linen shirts are cut slightly longer, designed to be tucked in. But don’t fear looking dorky—this tuck will make you feel like you’re lounging beachside on Ischia. Just don’t forget the shacket when the temperature drops.
