They say the devil’s in the details - and when it comes to our men's summer staples, that couldn’t ring more true. Every piece we craft is shaped by a considered approach to what makes it distinctive. From innovative fabrications and rich textures to purposeful design elements, each garment is thoughtfully created with character at its core. To highlight our design philosophy - and to show you some standout products - we’ve highlighted six pieces that best represent what makes Wax truly unique.
Subtle detailing can make a lasting impression - and the Didcot shirt is proof. With its relaxed fit and classic short-sleeve silhouette, it maintains a clean, minimalist aesthetic thanks to its ecru base. But it’s the intricate design that sets it apart: an all-over raised floral embroidery in pale blue fine cord, offering a quiet yet striking nod to the summer season. And if you're wondering about its appeal - Charles Leclerc has been spotted wearing it, so you know you're in good company.
Summer is the season to embrace florals - but at Wax, we do it our way: bold, confident, and full of character. This piece features a large-scale abstract poppy print in vibrant shades of blue and yellow, making a true statement in both design and colour. Cut from crinkle-textured cotton, it not only catches the eye but adds an extra layer of dimension and movement. Playful, striking, and expressive.
From the very first glance, the intricate craftsmanship of the Porto Shirt is unmistakable. Its woven crochet knit construction creates a striking visual texture while delivering practical benefits - chief among them, breathability. Thanks to the open weave, air circulates freely, making it a perfect choice for the kind of warm weather we've been enjoying. The tactile texture lends the piece a distinct, artisanal character that sets it apart from the everyday. It's no wonder even Marvel hero Ryan Reynolds has been spotted sporting it.
Checks have always been a menswear classic - but the Whiting Overshirt is where we make them unmistakably ours. A cornerstone of the Wax collection, it’s one of our most enduring styles, celebrated for its thoughtful details, bold patterns, and distinctive texture. The fabric is sustainably crafted by a family-run mill in France, where multicolour yarns are expertly woven into a check that feels both statement-making and versatile. It’s the perfect way to add confident colour to a clean, pared-back look.
At Wax, jacquard fabrics have always held a special place in our collections. Their intricate, textured patterns add depth and dimension that elevate even the simplest outfit. The Iggy Spin Jacket is a standout example of our jacquard craftsmanship. Its bold, doodle-inspired design grabs attention - but it’s the raised texture and richness of the fabric that truly bring it to life, offering a tactile finish that adds character in all the right ways.
Stripes in summer are a timeless move - but the Didcot shirt takes it a step further. What appears at first glance to be a classic striped design quickly reveals layers of detail on closer inspection. Woven from a breathable linen-cotton blend, the fabric is elevated by a nuanced dobby weave that forms a refined seersucker texture. It’s this quiet complexity - those tactile stripes and subtle geometric patterns - that set the Didcot apart. Because in true Wax fashion, style lives in the details.
