At this time of year as the weather brightens up (finally) in true British style us men head straight for the shorts. Now, at times this can be dangerous territory, but I feel confident that this season, our fine flannel or lightweight wool options will ensure we cut a dash as we stroll along the promenade.

The prospect of holidays also brings with it the ritual and buzz of shopping for new clothes. If you’re anything like me you started in January and have stored them in a separate part of your wardrobe, reserving that smell of new cotton for the first day away.

Although I don’t intend to stray very far from the pool, when I do I’m opting for a nautical theme in the day so top of my list is Mercury in the navy and silver stripe Ganymede in silver and Oberon with its fine red, white and blue story. In the evening I‚’ll be keeping it simple yet classic with Perseus or Boris t-shirt in white teamed with Neville in every colour I can lay my hands on! However, as usual, I’ll be trying to snap up everything which means I’m going to need a much bigger suitcase.

See you by the pool!
