Despite only being a few seasons old, Wax London hasn’t struggled to get menswear tongues wagging about its Scandi-inspired wares. And it’s easy to see why.

A Day’s March Navy Overshirt

Swedish menswear label A Day’s March takes its name from an old military term referring to how far an army could move in a single day.

Qasimi ‘Don’t Shoot’ T-Shirt

Mickey Mouse motifs and other cool as hell things aside, occasionally fashion likes to get political.

Available at Farfetch, priced £115.

Only & Sons Slim-Fit Chinos

You don’t need us to tell you that chinos are a solid warm-weather alternative to jeans or throw around words like ‘wardrobe essentials’.

Available at ASOS, priced £30.

Eastpak X Raf Simons Volume Toploader S

Where his own label is concerned, Raf Simons is all about the big and the bold, but for his collaboration with American luggage brand Eastpak, the Belgian designer has taken more of a less is more than more is more route (if that makes sense?). Available at Eastpak, priced £180.

Calvin Klein Hoop Contrast Sweatshirt

All good wardrobes start with the basics, but that’s not to say they have to be boring. This season, Calvin Klein has upgraded the humble sweatshirt with a contrasting block panel design, all tied together in a simple monochrome colourway. Available at Farfetch, priced £95.

River Island Pink Shard Print Runner Swim Shorts

From runner-style shapes to eighties-inspired graphics, swimwear this season has a distinctly dug-out-of-a-time-capsule vibe about it. Between the athletic runner cut and the Saved By The Bell-esque print, these shorts are guaranteed to make a splash for all the right reasons. Available at River Island, priced £18.
