T-Shirts

2 x Ultrafine Merino T-shirts

These t-shirts tick a slew of boxes. Woven from 17.5 micron yarn, they were beautiful to wear and to touch (really, I’ve lost who-knows-how-much-time kneading these bad boys between my fingers).

They’re crazy versatile and tailored with soft drape, which means they look great with shorts or jeans, but can be dressed up with a blazer or nice shoes when the evening calls.

And given that they’re Merino – fast wicking, naturally cooling and antimicrobial – they kept me cool in the heat, insulated me in the cool, and wore more between washes.

1 x Duckworth Vapor Tee

My slightly cheaper option (buying Merino really adds up!). This Tee is a lightweight blend of Merino, cellulose and polyester, and did most of the above with a workman-like attitude. Not as nice on the skin and the eyes, but certainly nicer on my wallet.

"Tips: Choose tailored fits and subtle branding. That way you can flex from tourist-y endeavors to meetings. And of course, pack less.

1 x Mojave Pivot Shirt

For this trip, I only went with the one collar – risky, I know!

This cotton, linen and ramie blend was a breeze in the heat. Light and dry like a linen but washed up like a cotton. And like its name, it pivots like a champ. It was awesome with shorts for long days out and about and dressed up sweetly when dinner gigs called.
