Summer Checklist
With a healthy dose of blind faith, we’re pleased to unveil the 3rd Annual Summer Checklist — an indispensable guide to summer holiday clobber:
1. Shorts, in Coral — by Spoke
We had a little fabric left over and we made one last short run of Coral shorts. We’ve gone for an extra soft wash this time. We think we’ve nailed it. They’re really lovely, and there aren’t many…
Handmade in classic British styles, and at a sane price. We pick the Seafords in the acetate frames.
3. Luxury Boules Set — by Jaques
We may be leaving Europe but we can still play with their balls. Wait. No. Don’t quote us on that. That’s not helping.
Aperol: One of those spirits you find in drinks cabinets of ageing relatives. Good news — this bittersweet Italian aperitif is making a comeback. The Aperol Spritz is a genuinely great drink. Sunshine in a Glass. Mix it up.
5. Short Sleeve Shirt — by Orlebar Brown
Nothing says summer like a print shirt — just make sure you stop well short of the full Hawaiian. We love the Pelhams by Orelbar Brown. Let’s just say it’s lucky we scored you a discount …
