The Best New Menswear Pieces To Buy Right Now

Herschel Supply Novel Duffle

When good weather takes hold, take hold of good weather. Packing some tropical vibes into its range of bags, Herschel has created this palm print and applied it to a duffle bag that’s big enough to store an umbrella. Just in case. Available at Herschel Supply, priced £80.

Boohoo Man Skinny Fit Biker Joggers

What’s more important than going to the gym? Looking like you go to the gym, of course. Even if you don’t Boohoo Man’s debut activewear range is packed with enough gear, like these biker-style joggers, that no one will know. Just maybe size down on the muscle fit T-shirts. Available at Boohoo Man, priced £18.

Native Youth White Chesil Cut & Sew Tee

Native Youth may have only been around for a few seasons, but the Manchester-based menswear brand has certainly earned its stripes among the style cognoscenti. This triple threat white, camel and grey T-shirt feels as cool as it looks thanks to added side vents. Available at Native Youth, priced £25.

Remus Uomo Slim Fit Floral Print Shirt

Proving that the season’s essentials needn’t cost the earth, men’s tailoring brand Remus Uomo has created this of-the-moment Cuban collar shirt in an all-over, yet subtle, floral print. Evoke the ghost of Tony Montana and wear yours under one of the brand’s suits. Available at Remus Uomo, priced £55.

Rockport Active Casual Summer Sea Boat Shoe

Men’s feet are home to around 250,000 individual sweat glands, which, in the heat, can cause it to smell like Satan himself is trying to escape from your shoes. Luckily Rockport’s handsome and practical boat shoes feature anti-microbial linings to help reduce odour and wick away moisture. Available at Rockport, priced £85.

Tiger of Sweden Deawon Shirt

We’re about to enter peak safari season, at least as far as our wardrobes are concerned. So props to aptly named tailoring brand Tiger of Sweden, which has created this breezy short-sleeve cotton shirt, with a print cool enough to make just about anything else completely irrelephant. Available at Tiger of Sweden, priced £129.

Vitae London Walmer Midnight Watch

Since 2015, philanthropic watch brand Vitae London has produced tickers that, well, tick all the boxes. As well as looking good, the business backed by Richard Branson also does good. For SS17, Vitae has launched two limited edition models, with a portion of each sale going towards providing education for a child in Southern Africa. Available at Vitae, priced £119.

Adam Scott X Uniqlo Kando Shorts

The late, great Arnold Palmer aside, golfers (and please don’t swing for us for saying this) aren’t exactly stylish. However, that hasn’t stopped former world number one Adam Scott from producing these above-par camouflage shorts as part of a collaboration with Uniqlo. Available at Uniqlo, priced £24.90.

Penfield Howard Nylon Coach Jacket

The reigning champion of fuss-free sportswear, Penfield’s lightweight snap-closure jacket resembles the traditional outerwear worn by sports coaches, but scores a style touchdown with an updated quick-drying fabric and graphic print logo on the chest. Available at Penfield, priced £65.

Marks & Spencer Pure Silk Textured Floral Tie

Brighten up even the staidest of shirts this summer with a floral printed tie. Marks & Spencer’s eye-catching option, created in collaboration with Savile Row tailor Richard James, is made with silks woven in a Suffolk fabric mill famous for its rich colours. Available at Marks & Spencer, priced £35.

The Kooples Personalised Polo Shirt

There’s a theory that we men like to monogram things because we have a fear of our own mortality. We have a better theory: done right, it just looks damn cool. Case in point: The Kooples’ new polo shirt personalisation service, which offers a build-your-own experience online with a choice of different cuts, colours and trims. Available at The Kooples, priced £105.

Whistles X Boardies Stripe Swim Shorts

With certain world leaders *cough, Trump* shooting down climate change agreements, it will surely pay to have a pair of swim shorts to hand when all the ice caps melt. Whistles’ collaboration with London-based specialists (in swimwear, not global warming) Boardies get our vote. Available at Whistles, priced £45.

Mocha Salt Crew Neck T-Shirt

Since 2015, Sydney-based Mocha Salt has turned out David-Gandy-In-A-Fragrance-Ad cool swim shorts. For SS17 the brand has added high-quality menswear basics to its line-up, including T-shirts cut from 100 per cent Tencel, which is more absorbent than cotton and cooler than linen. Available at Amazon, priced £52.

Topman Navy Skinny Trousers

‘Peak skinnies’ is about as believable and ‘peak beard’, so before investing in a series of bell tents for your lower half, try on Topman’s equally comfortable drawstring waist kecks for size. Available at Topman, priced £35.

H&M Sweatshirt

H&M’s sleek satin option has a large motif from the ‘Outsiders Club’ on the back. Where do we sign up? Available at H&M, priced £39.99.

Farah Cay Espadrilles

Pairing the comfort and style of espadrilles with the practicality of sneakers, Farah’s Cay shoe, taken from its new surf-inspired range, sits the pliable canvas upper on a sturdy rubber sole. Available at Farah, priced £45.
