Mad May Hatters - The Panama





Staying in theme of the Colonial style, the Panama hat is another classic which all acomplished gentleman should own. A sure statement of good taste, wack on a pair of wayfares and you have a timeless summer look. In the center of Copenhagen there is this wonderful little mens hat shop dating back to all the way back to 1857! Stop by when you get a chance, its quite an experience and the worst that can happen is you leave with one of these!



The Raj







The Raj was a term used to describe the Bristish Imperial rule in India between the 1850's and 1950's. I've always loved the style and mood of this period, this completely overdressed and over the top attire in the swealtering heat of the Indian jungle - absolutely fabulous and completely potty! The impractiacal white linen, suits, ties and butterflies. This summer I'd love to see some more gentleman dressing up in white, without it looking like something out of cheesy rap music video.

Prints can be tricky, either they're too much or not enough! But Christopher Kane's summer collection is super cool, with unique sky prints in all shapes and colours. This tee would brighten up any old pair of shorts.

Deuce




I'm sure most of you will remember having a pair of these in your school kit bag for summertime P.E classes! Superga has always been known as the tennis shoe over all others, dating back to the 1920's its a timeless peice of footwear and good alternative to the usual converse this summer. Something which never goes out of style, especially in white or navy. A freshly ironed pair of chinos and classsic polo and you're ready to go!

Hey there Mr. Blue!

Ultramarine, a colour I always associate with my primary school days when learning about the art renaisance in history, the colour which came from the semi precious stone Lapiz Lazuli. Now I'm seeing it again, this summer its all over the place and no wardrobe is complete without something in this gorgeous colour. I came across this fab jacket, and once you have a bit of summer tan it will be perfect for summer nights and rainy days!

However, if the choice is between buying a jacket insted of going on holiday, I'd say go for this very similar one from G-Star at urbanoutfitters.co.uk, for the much more forgiving price of 785 kr.
