Comme des Garcons

I'm definitely feeling these new shirts from CdG. In general I have been a big fan of the trend (a trend on which Comme des Garcons have really led the way) towards flannels and combination prints, especially on the dress shirt front, but this is by far one of the nicest pieces I have seen so far.

The argyle-style pattern on the mash-up-cum-dress shirt is fantastic. Ever attentive to the smaller details, CdG has hit it out of the park with this one.

Available online at Ark and fine retailers already carrying the Comme des Garcons line (Dover Street Market for those of you in London).
