OUTFIT OF THE DAY

A Spring Monochrome Look

Max Israel (commentary) and Gui Mendes (video) · May 14, 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.  

Today’s look is back to one of my go-to spring combos: the Retinol Short with the Full Cream Linen Shirt.
 
It’s a fresh, dressy setup that’ll carry you through whatever the day throws at you — morning meetings, lunch out, evening plans.
 
Went monochrome with it: White Lotus Retinol Short and White Lotus Full Cream Linen Shirt. Light, crisp, sharp. Always works.
 
And when the sun dips? Throw the Berlin Black Drücken Track Jacket over the top. It adds contrast, depth, and just enough warmth — while still keeping the whole look clean and intentional.
 
Casual meets dressy. Easy, comfortable, ready for anything.
 
These shorts are some of the best you’ll own — and this look’s dialed in for this time of year. Give it a go.
