The official start of spring heralds a return to outdoor sports, and more importantly for our purposes, outdoor sportswear. That’s why we’re taken with such athletic-inspired pieces as Anglo-Italian’s newest windbreaker, Ron Dorff’s checkered tennis shorts and heavyweight jersey track pants by Paul Smith. But it can’t be all athletics all the time, so we’ve rustled up a maritime Fair Isle from Drake’s, a pair of velvet espadrilles by Anderson & Sheppard and a whole lot more below.

Wear it casually with work boots and jeans, or leave its collar standing with a silk scarf tied below for a more debonair tilt.
