A Rather Smart Shirt
Guys, we won’t judge you too much if you wear baggy buttondowns or embroidered guyaberas that scream South Beach. But men who seek preppy shirts with a modern fit might try the plaid or plain styles ($80 each) by Read's Clothing Project, now at Sherman Pickey (1647 Wisconsin Ave. NW; 202-333-4212). Founded by D.C.’s Read Wall (a St. Alban’s grad who should know from sloppy clothes), the brand makes “shirts that look good and do good,” he says. Twenty percent of his profits go to the School of St. Jude in Tanzania. “I’m interested in social entrepreneurship and fashion,” says Wall. “I think they work well together.”
