We did an in-person fitting session where I tried on the early samples and helped refine the fit, making sure everything sat exactly as it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"571\" data-end=\"798\"\u003eThe retro stripe design is what immediately stands out. It’s got that throwback feel, but done in a way that still feels current. A small set of strong colours working together properly, and I’m always a fan of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"800\" data-end=\"1058\"\u003eThis is one of my go-to pieces for me when I want a bit of a lift. I’ve worn these in the pool and at the beach, and there’s just something about them that genuinely cheers me up. It’s fun, it’s easy, and it brings a bit of energy without having to try too hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1060\" data-end=\"1267\"\u003eFit-wise, Wear Raphael really delivers.
