In this, our summer of tentative freedom, getting (well-) dressed for the outside world is a daunting prospect. With the dissolution of traditional dress codes compounded by the confusion of the pandemic, it’s hard to know what’s appropriate IRL anymore. But because everyone feels the same, the time is ripe for variety and experimentation; fittingly, July gave us a constellation of stars to guide us back to what looks good. Here are the best dressed men of the month.

From Mr Khaby Lame to Mr Gareth Southgate, here are the men who wore it well this month

Splitting his time between Los Angeles and London, Mr George Glasgow Jr is not only the creative impetus behind Mayfair’s renowned shoemaker George Cleverley, but fosters an especially intimate relationship with Hollywood. When we get to speak on our allotted afternoon, he apologises for being late to the phone – the opportunity to get a pair of monk straps onto the feet of Mr Chris Pine in his latest film was closing fast.

Known for his fondness for Patek Philippe, we challenged Mr George Glasgow Jr to pick three watches from the MR PORTER collection. His choices – from Jaeger-LeCoultre, Cartier and IWC – show a considered approach

In travel terms, we are bears coming out of hibernation, or calves put out to pasture. Our horizons are lifting, but when we do venture out again, many of us are seeking a closer connection to the great outdoors – and thinking small. In short, it’s a good time to be in the cabin rental business as demand soars for remote retreats and back-to-basics boltholes. From a gentleman’s folly on England’s south coast to an off-grid cabin in the Catskills where WiFi is a dirty word, we offer a natural selection of seven hideaways where you can reconnect with the joys of travel and nature.

From New Zealand’s east coast to an old Norwegian fishing port, we seek out some small, secret getaways (to enjoy when we’re ready to escape)

When Mr Trent Preszler told his mother he was planning to use his father’s old tool set – his sole inheritance – to build something out of wood, she assumed the “something” would be simple and basic. Such as a chopping board. Preszler, the CEO of a small winery on the North Fork of Long Island, New York, had never used his hands to make anything. He could explain in detail the character of his vineyard’s 2009 merlot, served at President Barack Obama’s inaugural luncheon, but ask him to hand you a Phillips screwdriver and he’d be stumped. Is that the one with the star-shaped end or the flat edge? Frankly, a chopping board seemed a stretch.

Now filmmaker Mr Edgar Wright has paid tribute with his first documentary feature, _The Sparks Brothers_. But just who are the duo behind the band – whom Mr John Lennon was once said to have described as: “Marc Bolan… playing a song with Adolf Hitler”? We aim to find out.
