WANT - new menswear this week

All the menswear that you need in your life this week …

Orlebar Brown Lowry Polo - £495

There are polos, and then there are holiday polos. This knitted number sits firmly in the latter camp, looking equally at home with linen trousers in Positano as it does making your office polo look embarrassingly underdressed.

Frescobol Carioca Salvador Sport Swim Shorts – £85

The sort of swim shorts that make you quietly hope someone suggests "just one more drink" at the beach club. Tailored enough to pass for shorts, quick-drying enough to justify never packing a second pair.

Octobre Éditions Citron Shirt – £100

Every summer wardrobe needs one shirt that whispers rather than shouts. Lightweight, relaxed and effortlessly French, this is the piece you'll reach for whenever the dress code reads "smart", but the temperature says otherwise.

Dune London Skylers Leather Loafers – £109

A dependable brown loafer isn't the most exciting purchase you'll make this year. It might, however, be the one you wear the most. Consider them the sartorial equivalent of a designated driver—always doing the hard work without demanding the credit.

Paul Smith Signature Stripe Straw Trilby – £170

Most straw hats flirt with Riviera clichés. Paul Smith sidesteps them entirely, adding just enough Signature Stripe to remind everyone that good taste is usually found in the details.

Émigré The Chair Merino Short Sleeve Polo – £220

Merino in the height of summer sounds counterintuitive until you actually wear it. Soft, breathable and impossibly refined, this is the knit polo that quietly earns its cost-per-wear before August is out.
