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 ,
