Set for release in July, these cotton sateen western shirts by Workers are a clean and simple version of a classic. Perfect as a summer layer, but equally wearable all year round, I like the use of earthier tones at a time when most brands are offering something altogether brighter.

I've yet to order myself a personal piece from Workers, but with the latest update, I'm on the verge. Blue oxford and chambray are pretty much a daily guarantee, so both of these shirts would slide nicely into rotation. I've admired the brand and shop for a while, so it feels like its about time to try on one of their classic pieces.

Workers Chambray Shirts

—01. Custom navy buttons.

Words

I'm not over chambray, maybe in excessive amounts and on garments that it shouldn't be on, but not a blue chambray shirt. There aren't a lot of versions that I like either, but these two from Workers in Japan look perfect. I've been quite biased towards white buttons in the past and I still wouldn't wear a chambray shirt with black buttons, but these custom engraved French blue buttons work perfectly. The fabric looks nicely washed and the pockets are well balanced too - it seems easy doesn't it?
