There is nothing quite like a long weekend in summer. Those blissful liminal spaces that don’t require a full suitcase and travel itinerary – you simply hit the open road with a holdall. Of course, there’s still the quandary of what to put in said holdall. Whether you’re fortunate enough to be making your way out to the Cotswolds, the Hamptons or perhaps a long weekend in Lisbon this summer – assuming you’re not already perched up in your Amagansett beach house as you read this – chances are you’ve spent more time than you’d care to admit pondering over what to wear. You may have an event or two to attend, as well as luxuriating in some all-important downtime. It may be tempting to overpack and feel well-equipped for anything your social calendar throws at you. However, a thoughtful selection of crisp and versatile pieces will offer endless combinations – without weighing you down.

Over an English breakfast tea – and midway through a cigarette – at a West Village cafe, Walton Goggins is enjoying a rare break after a 16-month period of non-stop work and intense travel. Thailand for The White Lotus, Utah for Fallout and, occasionally, his home – 125 acres in upstate New York, which he calls “God’s living room”. While we are undeniably in the era of Goggins, the actor speaks with the humility of a veteran performer who believes this could all slip away at any moment. “I think I’m a pretty accessible person,” he says. “My position in the world is, ‘I wanna drink with that guy.’” (True to his word, our interview is interrupted by a quartet of tourists from Atlanta who are huge fans. He receives them with genteel grace.)

Oasis defined a distinct look in the 1990s that fused working-class style with mod influences, meaning their fashion choices quickly became as iconic as their music. Central to their image was statement outerwear, especially parkas by brands such as Barbour and Stone Island, worn zipped up and buttoned. Along with frontman Liam Gallagher’s lolloping walk, their look became visual hallmarks of Mancunian swagger and remain a symbol of Britpop fashion.

Those attuned to such things will know that the men’s shows drew to a close last week. With it, came “the trends”. That’s both the runway kind, foretelling what we’ll be wearing this time next year, and those rolling out in real-time on the streets, showcased by the meticulously dressed individuals who attend the shows. While it presents an opportunity for fashion industry insiders to show off some of their finest fits – Florence’s bi-annual Pitti Uomo trade show has been known for plenty of peacocking – examining attendees’ outfits is a great way to get some styling inspiration to take your own look up a notch or two.
