OUTFIT OF THE DAY

An Obsidian and White Summer Classic

Max Israel (commentary) and Gui Mendes (video) · May 7, 2025

Here's a video of me showing this Outfit Of The Day on Youtube – and you can see these pieces together in one group here.  

Let’s start with a day like this — hot, humid, and hard to dress for.
Here’s what I wore: White Lotus Retinol Short paired with an Obsidian Gray Full Cream Linen Shirt.
 
It’s black and white — but far from basic. Our linen is light, breathable, and structured, so you stay sharp no matter how's the weather. The Retinol Short adds just the right amount of dressy edge, stays put, and keeps you cool all day. Together, this combo walks the line between easy and elevated — perfect for a spring/summer look that holds up without breaking a sweat.
 
What do you think of this one?
