Pushing Buttons

Great button-downs from Shoptometrist favorites, Surface to Air, Lova, and Band of Outsiders.

I love this soft-washed, dark denim look. Maybe I'm just hopped up on allergy meds, but I think it has sensitive writer-lumberjack written all over it. Just add beard, softspoken nature, and Pacific Northwest upbringing. Dench Cowboy Shirt by Surface to Air, now $85 (was $142) @ New Dandyism.

Though it's only been around for a season or so, Lova has quickly become one of my favorite menswear labels. It's casual wear for a modern gentleman, without the airs. Classic Shirt in Black Plaid, $196 @ Context.

A great summer wine. Band of Outsiders Wine Overdyed Batiste Solid, $198 @ Context.
