Beams Plus camouflage-print cotton shirt
A well-established Tokyo department store, Beams launched its own menswear line in 1999. This button-down shirt in a washed-out camouflage pattern typifies their rugged yet stylish workwear-inspired look.
Wear it with…
Steer clear of pairing with other camo pieces, unless you’re after the ‘urban guerrilla’ look (not recommended). Instead, take the workwear approach and team it with black chinos and Red Wing boots.
