Staying in style this summer

It's summer, and inevitably we'll all be off somewhere. Whether you're the sort of man who likes to experience the great outdoors first-hand with camping and hiking or are more into a jaunt across the Channel to enjoy the European weather and culture, it's all about (to roll out the phrase) being prepared. Nothing complicated - just knowing what you'll need to look good without compromising on actually being practical. So from pulling out your wallet to rocking up with the right bag, we've got you covered with our summer essentials to help enjoy the weather in style. 

Fossil Inc. have always done a great job of combining the roughed-up vintage look with superior quality designs, and their latest wallets are no exception. The 'Alpine' travel wallet combines a classic design with American-inspired lining and everything you'll need to keep those travel essentials together.

None of us like to have more bags than our partner, but in the summer just as with your wardrobe it's important to have a lighter option for your bag. Calvin Klein have some stylish new PVC messenger bags that combine their iconic look with a lighter feel - ideal for those hot summer days.

If you're more interested in an outdoors holiday, you don't have to compromise on looking good. The Herschel Supply Co. have a wide range of men's backpacks inspired by vintage American designs yet built to a superb standard to suit any active lifestyle.

Finally, the ubiquitous holdall (or duffel bag, if you prefer) is a must for any getaway. London-based brand Simon Carter has been taking men's fashion forward since their inception. If you're looking for a bold new look, you can't go wrong with his avant-garde inspired accessories.
