Dawn & Team

Be the coolest person on the beach with this men's shirt and shorts swim set. The diagonal seams of the raglan sleeves add a sporty touch to this shirt, and add ease of movement, perfect for those with broader shoulders, but flattering on all body types. The swim shorts feature a button-flap pocket at the right front and the waist band has both elastic and a drawstring for the perfect fit that feels comfortable and secure. Contrasting fabric on the pocket bands and collar are perfect for a pop of fun colour.

Use the size chart above to find your closest modern-day size equivalent in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the USA or Canada, using your bust measurement in inches or centimetres.

How to Measure Your Bust

  1. Wear a well-fitting bra.
  2. Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust.
  3. Keep the tape level across your back and comfortably snug, without pulling it tight.
  4. Record your measurement in inches or centimetres and compare it with our size chart.

For the best fit, always choose your pattern size based on your body measurements, not your usual shop size. Always check your bust measurement before ordering!
