Boohoo Man Twin Rose Sleeve Embroidered Hoodie

Baller-level embroidery has been one of the main focuses of designer names like Gucci and Valentino in recent seasons.

Diadora Intrepid OG

The name Roberto Baggio is enough to send a chill down any true football fan’s spine. Continuing to work with his best asset the iconic Italian free kick-taker has teamed up with Diadora to update the Intrepid OG sneaker with back-of-the-net style results. Available at End, priced £149.

Theory X Uniqlo Dry Comfort Full Open Polo Shirt

Primark Faux Suede Cap

When it comes to caps, it’s wise to take a less-is-more approach if you want to avoid coming off like a frustrated hip-hop artist. This faux suede example from Primark hits it on the, well, head and is the perfect way to bookend a look, whether that’s beach shorts or a casual suit. Available at Primark, priced £4.

River Island Dark Green Skinny Chino Trousers

With all the styling of cargo trousers, without the bagging, sagging excess, River Island’s green chino trousers are a solid throw-on-and-go alternative to blue and black jeans, and the perfect military-inspired flanker for a white tee. Available at River Island, priced £28.

Master-Piece Link Backpack

Japanese brand Master-Piece is an expert at crafting quality accessories for the everyday. If your everyday requires a bag built from extremely tough and waterproof high-density nylon canvas and finished with an interior pocket secured by a carabiner, that is. Available at Ssense, priced £175.

Henry Holland x Cadbury ‘Boost T-Shirt

Aiming to give a ‘Boost’ to men’s wardrobes this summer, designer Henry Holland has partnered with chocolatier Cadbury to produce one sweet AF collection. The five-piece line-up features some of the firm’s most popular cheat day snacks, with all proceeds going to the Prince’s Trust charity. Available at Amazon, priced £30.

Lee Luke Jeans

Every brand has a defining moment and for Lee, creating the world’s first ever zip fly jeans is definitely up there. But the denim brand worn by James Dean in Rebel Without A Cause hasn’t rested on its laurels, continuing to turn out modern styles like its tapered Luke cut. Available at Amazon, priced £40.50.

Reiss’s pink cotton options. Available at Reiss, priced £70.

Mango Lapel Cotton Cardigan

When you want to look smart but avoid a swampy back, reach for a cardigan. Mango’s lightweight navy version features lapels that mimic a suit jacket, so can be thrown over a T-shirt and still avoid a finger wag from HR. Available at Mango, priced £49.99.

Polo Ralph Lauren Sunglasses

The benefits of sunglasses aren’t just limited to protecting your eyes from damaging UV rays. Up your frame game, say with these blue-tinged shades from Polo Ralph Lauren, and add symmetry to your face, hide a hangover and enjoy people watching on the down-low all summer long. Available at Amazon, priced £119.99.

Chunk Playboy Cover Long Sleeve T-Shirt

If you like Playboy covers as much as we like Playboy covers, then you’re going to love this long-sleeve T-shirt from London label Chunk. Cut from 100 per cent cotton, it features a snap of the November 2013 ‘Indulgence’ cover. Don’t mind if we do. Available at Chunk Clothing, priced £33.50.

Next Invisible Socks

The Italian word for invisible socks is ‘fantasmini’, which means ‘little ghosts’. And it’s fair to say there will be a very scary scent rising from your loafers if you attempt to go ‘sockless’ without them this summer. Available at Next, priced £9.

Dickies Sacramento Checked Shirt

Workwear-brand Dickies has been turning out hard as nails menswear for almost a century, making it well placed to take on the rugged overshirt.
