When the weekend calls for both style and comfort, you don’t have to choose between the two. Whether you're heading to the golf course, catching the U.S. Open, or grilling with friends and family, the right outfit can carry you through the day with ease. Greg from Larrimor’s has put together a look that’s equal parts polished and practical—built around pieces from Peter Millar that work as hard as you do, without looking like they’re trying too hard.
Start with the Shorts: Performance Meets Polish
Let’s talk about the foundation of this outfit—the Peter Millar performance stretch short in stone. These aren’t your average shorts. They’re built with a lightweight, breathable fabric that moves with you, whether you're lining up a putt or reaching for another burger off the grill. The neutral stone color keeps things versatile, pairing easily with just about any top in your closet. And yes, they look just as good with loafers as they do with sneakers or sandals.
What makes these shorts stand out? It’s the subtle details. The tailored fit gives a clean silhouette without feeling restrictive. The fabric resists wrinkles and handles a little summer humidity like a pro. So if you're spending the day outdoors, you’ll stay cool and look sharp from morning tee time to evening cocktails.
Daytime Cool: The Light Pink Polo
Now, let’s add a little color. Greg pairs the shorts with a Peter Millar cotton and modal polo in a soft light pink. It’s a refreshing shade that feels right at home on the golf course or at a backyard brunch. The blend of cotton and modal gives the shirt a smooth, breathable feel—perfect for warm days when you want to stay comfortable without sacrificing style.
And if you’re wondering whether pink is too bold, think again. This isn’t a loud or flashy hue—it’s subtle, modern, and surprisingly easy to wear. Pair it with the stone shorts, and you’ve got a look that’s relaxed but still put-together. It’s the kind of outfit that says, “I know what I’m doing,” without saying a word.
Evening Shift: Swap the Polo for a Button-Down
As the sun starts to set and the grill starts to sizzle, it’s time for a quick change. Greg suggests swapping the polo for a Peter Millar cotton button-down with a classic collar. It’s a simple move that instantly shifts your look from daytime casual to evening-ready. Whether you’re hosting friends or just enjoying a quiet dinner on the patio, this shirt adds a touch of refinement without feeling too formal.
The cotton fabric keeps things breathable, and the tailored fit ensures you still look sharp. Roll up the sleeves, leave the top button undone, and you’ve got an effortless look that works for just about any summer evening plan.
Accessories That Work as Hard as You Do
No outfit is complete without the right accessories, and Greg didn’t forget the finishing touches. First up: the Torino woven belt. It’s more than just functional—it adds texture and interest to the outfit, tying everything together (literally and visually). The woven design gives it a relaxed feel, while the craftsmanship keeps it looking refined.
Next, the hat. Whether you’re shielding your eyes from the sun on the course or just keeping your hair in check during a breezy evening, a good hat is a must. Greg’s pick keeps things casual and practical, without taking away from the overall look.
And finally, the shoes. Greg mentions “the swims”—a smart choice for a day that might include a little water, whether from a surprise summer shower or a splashy backyard pool moment. These shoes are designed to handle moisture without losing their shape or style. So go ahead—step in a puddle. You’ll still look great.
Why This Look Works in Pittsburgh (and Beyond)
If you’re in Pittsburgh or the surrounding area, you know that summer weather can be a bit unpredictable. One minute it’s sunny and warm, the next it’s humid and stormy. That’s why this outfit makes so much sense. It’s built to handle the shifts in temperature and activity without missing a beat.
Whether you’re heading to a golf course in Fox Chapel, catching the U.S. Open on a big screen in your backyard, or enjoying a cookout in Mt. Lebanon, this look fits right in. It’s relaxed enough for casual plans, but polished enough to make you feel confident wherever the day takes you.
Putting It All Together
Let’s recap. You’ve got the Peter Millar performance stretch shorts in stone—comfortable, versatile, and sharp. Pair them with the light pink cotton-modal polo for daytime plans, then switch to the cotton button-down for the evening. Add the Torino woven belt, a practical hat, and a pair of water-friendly shoes, and you’re set for a full day of summer fun.
It’s a look that’s easy to wear, easy to love, and easy to repeat. And the best part? You don’t have to overthink it. Each piece works on its own, but together, they create a style that feels thoughtful and effortless.

Style doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, it’s as simple as choosing the right pieces and letting them do the work. Greg’s outfit is a great example of how a few well-made items can carry you through a full day of plans—without needing a full wardrobe change.
