Linen shorts done right are one of summer's most useful pieces of kit. Rhythm's Classic Linen Jam demonstrates exactly how to execute them well. Cut from a linen-cotton blend, they strike that ideal balance between breathability and practicality. Pure linen wrinkles spectacularly and feels scratchy when new; this blend maintains the natural cooling properties whilst being far easier to actually live in. The 17-inch outseam provides solid coverage without veering into knee-length territory, and the relaxed fit means they're genuinely comfortable rather than restrictive. The elastic waistband and drawcord is crucial here – it makes them easy to adjust, avoiding the fit issues that plague traditional fly-front linen shorts. The vintage olive colourway is wonderfully versatile, working as a neutral that happens to have character. It pairs brilliantly with everything from white tees to navy shirts, making these proper summer staples rather than occasional pieces.

How to measure:
There's a certain rhythm to coastal living – the way the tide rolls in, the Pixies-esque loud-QUIET-loud crash of waves, the predictable unpredictability of marine weather. Rhythm gets it. Born from Australia's surf-soaked coastline, this is kit designed for people who structure their days around dawn patrols and who can tell you the swell forecast before they've had their morning brew. Since day one, they've been crafting apparel that moves between beach and daily life without missing a beat, pieces that look equally at home on a clifftop hike or slouched over a flat white in town.
The aesthetic is relaxed without being scruffy, considered without feeling precious. Think oversized fleeces that envelop you like a best-friend’s hug, denim that's been pre-washed to perfection from the get-go, and that rare breed of jersey tee that somehow improves with every wear. It's the sort of gear that becomes part of your routine – the fleece you reach for when the sun disappears below the horizon, the overalls that do double duty in garden or workshop. Rhythm's about finding your groove and sticking with it, building a wardrobe that works as hard as you play.
