Channeling: Downtown Daddy Ginghams

I call them DADDY GINGHAMS.

Sunday masses, grocery errands, family gatherings -

my or OUR dads, even, wore them right up their alleys.

Sure, the mature stylings of the 90s is here.

It's unsurprising for CHECKS and GINGHAMS alike to take the floor for men's street & clubwear.

Here, I wore my loose version (to give off that non-clubbing fit guys usually wear)

to befriend summer's heat and let some holy air come in.

Korean superbrand, SUPERSTAR sold this simple shirt with some embroidery I usually find tacky. But I bought them after all - at a penny.

Take note: GINGHAMS are different from PLAID.

PLAID includes a TARTAN pattern, while CHECKS are minimal thick pattern grids.

Thanks to Skela for these pants.
