Men's style solutions: how to hold on to summer
Colour theory
If you’ve heard of luxury leather-goods brand Troubadour, you’ll know it offers a masterclass in minimalism through its beautifully crafted Tuscan leather pieces in subtle greige, slate and biscuit tones. Which makes its new range of summer tote bags something of a bright and bold departure.
The roomy canvas bags come in shades from saffron to apple green, and combine exceptional craft with easy shapes. By all means throw in the sun cream and head for the departures board, or use them to throw a little sunshine to the work-a-day routine.

The long and short of it
Australian brand Zimmermann has long been a go-to for easy, off-duty clothes and swimwear for women, but now sisters Nicky and Simone have turned their attention towards to boys. Their new range of batik shorts in rich, grown-up colours - olives, sepias and clarets - is sure to elevate your summer wardrobe.

California Dreaming
Swiss watchmaking doesn’t naturally align with West Coast ease, but timepiece specialist Panerai has taken the Golden State’s sportiness and athleticism as the inspiration for its new Luminor California 8 Days DLC -- so called thanks to the sporty black dial.
Like all Luminors, the technology that goes into the watch is exceptional - the Diamond Like Carbon makes it extra solid, for example - but the simple design and rustic leather strap nod to a relaxed, all-American appeal.
