One of the things we’re most excited about come the warmer season is experimenting with textures. Terry, crochet and raffia have the kind of tactility that instantly whispers “summer”. Knitted with textured stripes, Mr P.’s polo shirt is perfect for any summer evening, whether you wear yours with tailored shorts or relaxed linen trousers. Did somebody say <The Talented Mr Ripley>?

Jacques Marie Mage is known for crafting the ultimate <_objets> – _and this pair, co-created with actor and style icon Jeff Goldblum, is no exception. Made in a limited-edition run from premium acetate, they’re packed with “quirky charm and radical refinement”. How’s that for holiday style?

Whether you’re packing for a city break or a beach holiday, Manolo Blahnik’s Zale sandals will help you beat the heat and remain effortlessly stylish in the process. The woven brown leather works well with shorts and tailored trousers alike, making them a fail-safe summer option for the office, too.

BODE’s Riverbank bag was born out of nostalgia for late 20th-century children's sweaters – but it’s sure to become this year’s best beach companion. It’s spacious enough to hold a book, a change of swimwear and a couple of bottles of Aperol spritz

Looking for a pair of shorts that you can wear with <literally> anything? Enter the world of jorts. AGOLDE’s are cut with raw hems that fall just above the knee. They’ll work with sneakers and ankle socks, alongside an easy tank up top, but just as well with a shirt and sandals.

Legend has it that the Samba was originally designed back in the 1940s to aid footballers skittering across frozen training grounds. That hasn’t stopped this versatile shoe from being seen on the feet of those in the know the best part of a century later. And in summer – in these bold colours – we’d argue this adaptable OG sneaker comes into its own.

Wouldn’t you know it, the hotel has a gym… Pack this T-shirt by ON and now there’s no excuse not to work out this vacation. Made from a lightweight jersey with DryTec moisture-wicking wizardry, the Performance-T is quick drying and abrasion resistant, with a mesh back panel to help keep you cool. It also features reflective detailing for low-light conditions, should you have more than sundowners in mind.

Perhaps your only plan this summer is to lie parallel to a pool. And while that’s an admirable aim, at least try elevating your swimwear. Brunello Cucinelli’s mid-length trunks feature a quick-drying shell and adjustable side tabs for the perfect fit. Plus, contrast piping for a sporty retro look.

How apt that these breezy linen trousers by Massimo Alba are called Stan, because that’s how we feel about them. Pleated for a roomy fit and coming in an optical shade of white, they couldn’t be more Italian summer if they tried.

What could be more unadulterated Americana than a baseball cap? A baseball cap in a faded denim, by the truest of blue designers, Ralph Lauren. Drawn from Polo Ralph Lauren’s Country line, you’ll only find this vintage-style piece here at MR PORTER. A tip of the hat from us.

Of course, you could opt for the beaded bangle from the beachside stall. But for those hoping to raise their wrist game, Mikia’s take on the traveller’s bracelet goes further than most, with sterling silver, malachite and three different types of jasper. (As in the gemstone, not some bloke we met on our gap year.)
