SHORTCUTS
Whether you’re packing for the beach or staying in the city, add this summer’s essential items to your look. Menswear editor Ian Wright reveals the season’s style heroes
THE LOOK
SMART CASUAL
A classic T-shirt is always summer-appropriate,
but sometimes the occasion calls for a touch
of formality. These pieces will help you strike the
smart-casual balance perfectly
THE SUMMER-WEIGHT BLAZER
Look for an unlined style; push up
the sleeves for a sharper look
THE CHINO SHORTS
Crisp but cool in the heat, they’re
a blazer’s perfect partner
This holdall’s super-supple leather
improves the more you use it

THE WOVEN BELT
A lighter option than a classic
leather belt, the weave adds a
textural element to your look
THE LOOK
OUT AND ABOUT
When exploring towns both familiar and foreign, having a wardrobe of menswear classics to call upon is your ticket to staying sharp
THE RETRO SUNGLASSES
Summer always calls for shades – these
frames have a vintage Hollywood charm
THE DECK SHOES
Versatile, smart and practical, there’s
no place you can’t wear these
Pristine cream cotton and a spotted band
