MEN 3 1 4 2 5 1) GANT Crew Jumper Optimistic though we are about seeking the sun wherever we can find it, sometimes a light layer in the evening is called for, and this vivid jumper ticks all the boxes for a chic, versa tile piece. Keep the colour bright (it is spring after all), and opt for a light knit like this to keep things cool. £90 GANT - Guildhall, Bluewater 2) Hugo Boss T-Shirt Why should a t-shirt ever just be a t-shirt? With so many choices out there, boring, bland styles reminiscent of PE class just won’t do. A funky logo or print can take your look up a notch, whether teamed with casual trousers, jeans or shorts. £55 Hugo Boss - Rose Gallery, Bluewater 3) Reiss Desert Soft Straight-Leg Chino Keep things interesting and try a trouser option that isn’t jeans. Not only will you avoid those awkward 'no jeans allowed' moments, but you’ll exude style and your fashion savvy ways will make you the envy of all. A subdued colour like this rose pair add interest, whilst still leaving scope to mix and match with different shirts and tees. £95 Reiss - Guildhall, Bluewater 4) Converse Chuck All Star Lo When flip flops simply won’t do, a great pair of Converse trainers are quite simply the way to go. From yacht decks to casual dinners out, not only are they comfy and practical, but they look the part too! Have fun with colour and pick something , that reflects your unique sense of style and personality. £44.99 Office - Guildhall, Bluewater www.bluewater.co.uk 81 5) Next Stripe Band Straw Trilby Aside from looking super cool, we don’t like to see our boys sporting sunglasses tan marks, so a trilby is the perfect marriage of style and functionality. Unlike some hats, this style tends to suit most people and looks great teamed with everything from shorts and a tee, for lounging by the pool or shopping in town, to jeans and a shirt at cocktail hour. £12 Next - Thames Walk, Bluewater
