With rain clouds and flashes of sunshine, it’s finally arrived: the erratic British summer you (and your wardrobe) have been dreading. Don’t get us wrong, there’s still plenty to look forward to when the sun does make an appearance: rooftop sundowners, music festivals, summer holidays. But, since said sunshine isn’t guaranteed to stick around for long, you’ll need to be prepared. Step forward MR PORTER.
Summer presents the perfect opportunity to let loose in breezy linen and bright, tropical prints (as long as you’ve also got a light knit on hand as well). And, with the SS24 menswear collections offering joyous statement pieces and timeless summer staples, there’s plenty to choose from. Happily, the experts at MR PORTER have curated a summer edit, allowing you to browse their top picks from some of the world’s best luxury brands.
From everyday essentials to colourful resort wear rendered in lightweight fabrics, this hot list is the perfect inspiration to help you put your most stylish foot forward this summer.
Tom Ford slim-fit cotton T-shirt
Fickle trend cycles be damned, the humble white crew neck will never fail you. Consider Tom Ford’s cotton T-shirt with a classic patch pocket for any number of occasions this summer. It will look just as good with shorts at the beach or a smart linen suit for a summer party.
Dries Van Noten camp-collar shirt
Dries Van Noten – who recently took his final bow as creative director of his eponymous brand – is known for bright colours and contrast prints. Case in point, this retro silk-satin shirt printed with abstract palm leaves. Wear with pleated shorts on holiday for a high-fashion take on tropical Hawaiian-inspired style.
Frescobol Carioca Copacabana swim shorts
Whether you’re jetting off to the Maldives or sticking to the English coast, you’ll need some seriously stylish swim shorts. Frescobol Carioca’s wavy pair is inspired by the pavement mosaic on the Copacabana beach promenade in Rio de Janeiro and delivers summer holiday vibes through and through.
James Perse linen drawstring shorts
Made with an open weave construction, linen should be your go-to fabric come summer. Breathable and moisture-wicking, these linen shorts from James Perse are cut for a relaxed fit to keep you cool and stylish on balmy evenings.
Cherry Los Angeles cargo trousers
American brand Cherry Los Angeles made a name for itself with its laidback streetwear inspired by ‘90s skate culture. Take these cargo trousers, for example. Cut for a straight fit in a faded grey wash, they scream nonchalant cool. Our recommendation? Wear with a graphic tee and trainers for a weekend in the city.
Thom Browne cotton-pique polo shirt
Inspired by the volleys on the Wimbledon courts this summer? Practise your serve in Thom Browne’s breezy cotton-pique polo shirt – emblazoned with the brand’s signature 4-Bar motif and finished with mother-of-pearl buttons. Tennis whites never looked so good.
Loewe x Paula’s Ibiza pouch
Glastonbury may be over but the summer festival season has only just begun. Alongside wellies, vintage Levis and sunglasses, you’ll need a trusty crossbody bag for partying hands-free. Consider this Loewe x Paula’s Ibiza pouch.
