Hunter Odom’s favorite shirt just happens to be a hand-me-down from his father.
The attorney says he was drawn to the shirt because of its little secret: The old formal button-up looks totally normal under a jacket but bears a playful pattern on the back panel.
“Once you get loose a little bit and you want to have a little bit of fun, you can take off your jacket and it transforms the shirt,” Odom says. “You’re just ready to party with it. … I had this one shirt, and I was like, ‘This is too good to not share.’”
The inherited shirt inspired his own brand, Second Line Shirts, which encourages wearers to “outstand” in their second lines. Just like that original inherited top, Odom’s shirts have funky sleeves and backs with a pristine white fabric front perfect for formal events followed by a party.
Odom recently took one of his original designs, the “Party All The Time” pattern, and created a full-bleed version with the help of his wife, Jaime Glas Odom—the local famed Queen of Sparkles.
The result: a lightweight, bold short-sleeved button-up primed for spring festivals and summer shindigs. This special Second Line Shirt design launched on Queen of Sparkles’ website.
Moving forward, Odom says he’s playing with signature markers for Queen of Sparkles’ future Second Line Shirt releases, such as front plackets and chest pockets with black trim.
