The annual release of LOEWE’s Paula’s Ibiza collection is fast becoming one of our favourite things about summer, an event we look forward to almost as much as Wimbledon or that first pitcher of Pimm’s. What started in 2017 as a left-field collaboration between the Spanish fashion powerhouse and a little-known, hippie-era boutique has since blossomed into one of the fashion industry’s biggest success stories, a brand-within-a-brand which is still going strong as it enters its sixth season.

Now in its sixth season, the crossover between the Spanish luxury house and the Balearic boutique is a summer gift that keeps on giving. See the best new items in The Journal

Streaming from today, the new Netflix series Tour De France: Unchained promises to do for professional cycling what Drive To Survive, by the same production team, did for Formula 1. As in make the previously disinterested layman suddenly GAF about who is pedalling squares, when is the right moment to stage a breakaway and the average gradient of the Alpe d’Huez.

Only the good stuff, which should survive this and many other Grand Tours to come (whether or not you do, too). Here’s a few pieces to get you started.

Ahead of the new Netflix Tour de France documentary series, we assemble the essential kit you need for your bike ride. Read more in The Journal

When it comes to buying luxury watches, it has to be said that the sky’s the limit. It might seem crazy to some, but there is almost no upper boundary in terms of what one can spend on a watch. Pursuing extreme rarity, exotic materials and any level of customisation will lead you to a six or seven-figure price tag at several brands. But, importantly for the majority of us, you can buy a great many of the best-known, admired and respected watch designs for less than £5,000. Hardly small change, we know, but any one of these would last you a lifetime and serve you well – although we make no apologies if they turn out to be just the first step on your path to full-blown watch addiction.

MR PORTER’s seven best watches priced under £5,000, including models from IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN, Panerai,Oris, Bremont and Montblanc

The navy blazer is among the foundations of a man’s wardrobe. In fact, it’s such a basic component of the paradigmatic choices that we make when we get dressed every morning that you probably have absolute confidence in your ability to wear one.
