With the weather in Brisbane pondering whether to keep things steamy or add a chill to the air, meet its indecisiveness halfway, pairing staple chinos or jeans with a bold short sleeve creation by friends of the heart.

Master of the button-up shirt, this Australian label focuses on lightweight, clean-cut shirting in an array of intriguing patterned fabrics. With shirts made from 100% cotton, you can rub elbows with geometric Zorba or display your inner animal with Lygon. Foliage and paisley prints feature in this latest collection of short- and long-sleeve chest dresses, alongside almost-psychedelic floral designs.

Finished off with an arresting club collar, the friends of the heart shirts will add a seasonal touch to classic stylings, available at Angus Black and Dirtbox.
