it’ s your duty to show the class and elegance that great Britain is known for around the world!
You’ ll know if you follow me on Instagram @ james _ w _ phillips that I spend a lot of time in Monaco, where the 28-degree daytime temperatures make effortless dressing a must. Summer can bring out the best, and the worst, in the British male – so I put it to you that it’ s your duty to show the class and elegance that Great Britain is known for around the world!
NUMBER ONE – throw away your three-quarter length cargo shorts. I touched on this last summer in my column so I hope you’ ve been taking note! These went out in the’ 90s and have no place on the Côte D’ Azur( or anywhere else come to that, other than maybe Benidorm). Shorts should be smart, fitted chino or linen – and wear flip flops with caution, if at all. Personally, I always opt for a suede loafer.
THINK BEFORE YOU CHOOSE LINEN. It looks perfect in the shop, but after one use it will crease, and the thinner it is,
