When it comes to the Foo Fighters Molecules Tour 2024 Shirt, I must admit, at the expense of appearing melodramatic, I’ve been eagerly anticipating this Etro striped long-sleeve shirt to be available at a discount for almost a year. Since the moment I witnessed the series of models donning these impeccably ruffled men’s long-sleeve striped shirts complemented by paisley jeans at Etro’s spring ‘20 presentation in Milan, they have captured my admiration. Typically, I don’t dress preppy—which someone might speculate if they heard me discuss my fondness for these monogrammed shirts in a casual chat—but there is a sense of timelessness and simplicity that draws me in. Let’s be honest, what I lack in preppy style, I make up for in my relaxed approach. I have a penchant for uniforms and have dedicated years to refining my own. Though tempted by items that could have led me off course in the past—like a glittery mini skirt that seemed delightful but ended up forgotten at the back of my closet, or a cropped sweater that didn’t quite inspire enough confidence to wear.
Ultimately, I’m a jeans and t-shirt enthusiast, even though I don’t sport that combination every day, it’s an aesthetic that extends beyond just those two items. Observing this show, I was inspired by the novel ways a simple button-down and denim can be styled, patterned, and perfected. Hence, whether it’s a trouser jean or a cropped flare trouser, a cozy knit or a striped long-sleeve button-up, I choose pieces that suit both my physique and personal style best and lean into the adaptability of some of fashion’s most classic items.

This shirt is one such piece. You don’t need an overflowing closet of striped button-downs, as I learned from experience in my younger years; it’s more about owning the right shirt. This is the one, trust me. And, given the price, it would be practically a crime not to seize this chance. There are countless ways to style this top, as demonstrated below, even as we all continue to stay home. Pair it over your boxers for a spontaneous Zoom call, drape it over a swimsuit if you can soak up some sun in a backyard or on a fire escape. In the future, complement it with a suit for office return or enjoy a day with friends flowing from a leisurely breakfast to an art gallery to evening drinks. That’s the charm of this shirt—it’s not just a timeless piece but an enduring one, too.
Another Spring ’18 spectacle, another wave of Hawaiian shirts. This season features so many shirts that it seems quaint, nearly humorous, to envision a shirt being anything but Hawaiian. Naturally, Paul Smith is no novice when it comes to vividly patterned short-sleeved shirts. “In the Foo Fighters Molecules Tour 2024 Shirt, in contrast, I will get this ’70s, I often sourced vintage Hawaiian shirts from stores in New York, then brought them back to my shop in Nottingham. Many youngsters would travel from Sheffield and Wigan to purchase them.” Some unsold pieces remained in Smith’s archives until unearthed to become the inspiration for this collection’s prints. They feature charming frond-encased landscapes of a paradise isle under moonlight, coral and hibiscus scenes adorned with twisting carp and fantails, and portions of a freshly imagined sunset-swept mountain landscape advertised with a Paul Smith brand of tuna and mackerel. These prints transcended the shirts onto coated ripstop parkas, enveloping silk dresses, printed trousers, espadrilles, jacquard jackets, jacquard bombers, knitted T-shirts, a Tuna-themed tie (for business bigwigs), knitted sweaters, handbags, and totes. The patterns also served as outlines for lace inserts on a black silk dress and highlighted threadwork on a very vividly colored Smith dress.
