Vacation & Resort: Plane-to-Pool Ready

I've never understood the logic of packing a separate outfit for the flight. You're going somewhere warm. Dress for where you're headed. Start with Totême's oversized summer shirt in natural linen — the kind of piece that reads as intentional whether you're wearing it buttoned over the monogram swimsuit or open as a cover-up by the pool. It's cut like proper men's shirting, which means it actually skims the body instead of clinging. Pair it with the wide summer trousers for the plane, then swap them for nothing but the melon-striped swimsuit once you land. The Row's Julen dress is the other move: knee-length, cotton poplin, wide enough in the sleeve that you won't overheat but structured enough that you look like you tried. It's a kaftan without the resort-wear cliché. For the shoulder, Thom Browne's salt and pepper canvas duffle. Brass hardware, exterior vent pocket, the kind of bag that improves with a bit of wear. It doesn't scream "I'm on holiday" — it just works. If the destination involves an evening breeze or over-enthusiastic air conditioning, Totême's summer parachute jacket in overcast beige folds down to nothing. Water-repellent, batwing sleeves, tonal snaps that disappear into the fabric. The trick is buying pieces that don't need to be packed in separate categories. Plane clothes *are* pool clothes.
