    The unisex Charm Cabana Set is your ticket to casual swagger, backyard barbeques, and poolside posing. Inspired by mid-century menswear but made for anyone with attitude, this two-piece set in sizes XXS–5XL features a breezy camp-collar shirt and high-waisted shorts.

    Whether you make it in crisp linen, cool chambray, or barkcloth loud enough to get you noticed from across the beach, the Cabana Set is equal parts retro resort wear and wearable summer fun. It also makes a wonderful pajama set in crisp cotton or smooth silk!

    For the shirt, we recommend light- to medium-weight wovens: cotton chambray, lawn, broadcloth, poplin, pique, eyelet, madras, and shirting; rayon or Tencel twill, gabardine, or crepe; and linen and linen blends.

    For the shorts, we recommend light-to medium weight wovens: any of the fabrics recommended for the shirt would be acceptable, as well as cotton sateen, twill, and lightweight denim. Woven polyester microfiber (also called board short fabric) would also be acceptable.
