Those are def going to look more bulbous than Alden loafs, in my opinion. But, realistically, unless you're intending to pair with tailored wear (which doesn't sound the case) I think they'd be fine for just about any other getup

Impulse bought the linen overshirt. They are copying Zegna's oversized pockets but so is everyone else.

Might be a good place to stock up on linen t-shirts for summer. Lots of colors.

Linen Jersey T-Shirt in Classic Burgundy

Imagine a tee with built-in AC, and you’ve got a sense of what this soft, cool, breathable fabric feels like. Long considered the Cadillac of summer shirt fabrics, it might seem a little decadent to have a t-shirt in linen…but once you’ve worn one through the dog days of summer, you’ll be a...

I've found that I always think I'm going to enjoy linen more than I do when I actually wear it.

The t-shirts are interesting though, I have a ton of Todd Snyder I'm a fan of the brand.

I just stocked up on every color of Proof's 72 hour merino t-shirts while they had 30% off ( I want to say they're normally $89 ).
I might try one or two of these though.

These might work as well. Similar in price but made in Italy. I have a few and they seem to last.
