One thing that is as sure as night follows day is that Brits will always head abroad in search of sunshine, sea and fun. 

Granted not as many head overseas to worship the sun as they have done in the past, but there are still a large number that will be hitting the warmest, affordable destinations this summer – and they’re going to need a good pair of swimming shorts.

At the top of every guys ‘wardrobe essentials’ list right now should be a well fitted versatile linen blazer, one that you can whip out in both formal and casual settings and look fantastic. 

This one by TM Lewin is part of their casual range recently reduced to a bargain price of £199 from £458 in a perfect shade of light blue.

I turned 30 last year and felt weird, for lack of a better word. 

There was this feeling of sadness that I would perhaps lose my game the minute a 20 something woman asked for my age at the bar, like that ever happens!!!

Simple, sophisticated watches are the new wrist wear du jour. Less is definitely more, with classy and elegant watches being the watch of choice if you really want to make a statement with your wrist furniture. 

No longer is it all about flashy, diamond encrusted show-stoppers and chunky, heavily embellished wristwatches; these have finally moved aside for a more refined time-piece.

This year is huge for the crazy punk era, recently seeing one the world’s biggest fashion events the Met Gala Ball 2013 take place which saw celebrities and designers worldwide come together to celebrate one of the most influential themes of our time. 

Not forgetting Hedi Slimane transforming YSL (now Saint Laurent) into a punk extravaganza.
