Shoes? Sandals? Trainers? Who cares! These Hoka Frankensteins take all the horrors of summer, and brush them away with a monster sneaker hybrid.

A ribbed knit polo is a true banger. As close to a style cheat code as it's possible to get, this Reiss polo can be worn with anything from shorts and jeans, to wide-leg trousers for a rock solid summer fit.

The master may have left his namesake house, but Dries Van Noten will forever be the eternal bringer of psychedelic magic.

Belstaff is back. And the classic jackets – supreme, and a solid go-to for the likes of Clooney and McQueen – have had a roomy overhaul for the slouchy age of 2024.

A big and boxy way to get the badge in this summer? These Stone Island shorts, pure and simple.

Yes it's raining, but you can at least dress for an afternoon on a JFK-owned yacht with APC's Hamptonian white denim.

Bows and beads for boys, Simone Rocha’s dainty world of romance is now reverse-engineered for a long hot festival summer.

Concertina pleats on a budget, Reiss affords an easy way into a top-end look without a top-end price. Plus, these bad boys will go with anything.

Reiss' ‘Fable’ shirt blends the beatnik with the Italiano playboy. From its razor-sharp camp collar to its contrasting white trim, there's a lot going on here – and it's all pretty damn good.

See here: a plain white shirt becomes prime menswearhead material. And for that, you can thank Fursac, a French label that’s made for fancy boys with a couple of passports.

Did you know that April 26th is Wallabee Day? Yeah, neither. But happy Wallabee Day to all those who celebrate, and a new embroidered pair from Percival x Clarks is the best way to observe.

Green-tinted glasses are immortal. They deliver on ‘90s music video energy, springtime energy, even Beatles energy. And that's the sort of energy we want in spring.

Not all white T-shirts are created equal. Case in point, Kapital's ‘Rookie’ tee, complete with a blood-red logo that's just enough branding without going overboard.

D-Robe Outdoors is known for a mega outerwear line-up. But just as effective is this roll-top backpack. It's waterproof. It's low-key. It's going to be the new go-to of every cyclist across the UK.

Looking to trade in your classic wayfarers for something a little more… elevated? Dior Eyewear has the futuristic answer for you in the shape of these 'DiorBlacksuit R7U' sunglasses.

Since it was founded in the ‘70s, Beams has always been known for its Ivy League-coded aesthetic, and that preppy look has been fully flexed with these chinos. Witjh a tapered fit, sharp front pleats, and versatile pockets, these are the trousers if you're the fire god of Cornell.

It's not just Beyoncé and Fallout getting us into the cowboy spirit; it's also this jacket from Needles. Subtly Western, this pick is defined by its tonal yoke piping and boxy cut for a touch of classic Americana with a modernised twist. Yes, please.

This Portuguese Flannel shirt combines the chill vibes of its home nation with playful embroidery. The best of both worlds, we'd say that you can dress this pick up with pleated trousers and leather Derbies, or down with some tiny Paul Mescal shorts. The choice is yours.

The best kinda basic T-shirt is minimalist, and slightly heavy. That way, you know the cotton is heavy-duty, and thus built to last. So it makes sense that cult label CDLP has doubled down to give you two versions at a pretty reasonable price.

Stockholm’s Our Legacy knows how to make a solid shirt, and it’s gone absolutely above and beyond with this.

A pair of Carhartt cargos are unbeatable. Going hard on workwear a per, these trousers have been cut from a solid 7.2oz. cotton-twill that's enzyme-washed for softness.

Whether you’re hitting up your local or heading to a festival, sometimes a backpack just isn’t an option. But what happens if you need your essentials with you?

Plus it’s water resistant, making it the perfect outerwear option to tackle BST.

Tenniscore’s in full swing, and these chinos by Lacoste are absolutely ace. With a straight, comfortable fit, they’re fitted with a zip closure and buttoned back pockets. They’re then finished off with the label’s legendary crocodile logo around the waist, which nods to founder René Lacoste and his nickname, “the Crocodile.”

Where most Parisian brands are sleek and serious and best-paired with a cig, Ami manages to flash a grin through the ego. And nowhere is that outlook more visible than in the brand's heart chain necklace; slick, just subtle enough and on the right side of ritzy.
