With these 40 degree temperatures during the day, our off-duty and weekend wardrobe needs to be minimal. And, you can stay crisp, smart and trendy with this cutting-edge combo in your arsenal.

A black-and-white gingham short sleeve shirt with rose-pink cotton shorts works well. A pair of grey leather derby shoes will complete the outfit by giving it a masculine edge.

For those not familiar with gingham it is a very versatile and underused pattern compared to the typical plaid. It is defined as a lightweight plain-woven cotton cloth, typically checked in white and a bold colour that can add a bit of fun to your wardrobe.

The size of the check is generally smaller than the larger patterns in plaid and even go down to micro-sizes. This makes it a lot easier to pair with other garments. Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Sacoor Brothers are synonymous with this print, as are many preppy English sports brands.
