Christian Kimber Rose Bay Swim Shorts, Sailing

Prince of Wales check on a swim short is a joke that works, because it is the pattern of an English tailoring cloth printed onto something you will get wet.

Made in Italy from quick-dry fabric with an elastic drawstring waist and a mesh lining, so there is nothing clever to learn about wearing them. The print is a limited run and will not be repeated.

Sailing is the paler of the two and the one that goes with a navy linen shirt at lunch.
