Charleston.

Preston Parker’s mother has invited you to her annual “Linen & Bowtie” party. It’s sure to be a proverbial who’s who of Southern society, or so you’ve been warned.

If convention holds, the men will wear linen suits and loud bowties, ribbing each other over which peacock has the greatest plume (God help the poor soul who wears a clip-on).

The women will fawn over each other’s tasteful choices of linen dress. It’s all a very familiar scene.

You’ve got linen. You loathe convention. You can procure an outrageous bowtie. And even though South Carolina law states you can be fined for keeping your horse in a bathtub, who’s to say you can’t flip the progressive script at Mrs. Parker’s party?

No one. That’s who.

Charleston Pants (No. 5967). Flat-front straight-leg pant in a stretch linen and cotton blend (55% linen, 43% cotton, 2% spandex). Handsome contrasting black satin waistband. Vertical seam down front legs. Back welt pockets. Gunmetal button at the front waist. 29” inseam. A sharp and versatile companion to most of your classic shirts and jackets. Imported.

Spritely and dashing.
