Wardrobe updates need not cost your entire wage and then some. Let a new wallet, hat and sneakers act as palate cleansers for your existing wardrobe; yep, each for less than a green one! Simultaneously looking great, feeling great and being financially responsible (ahem, adulting, nailed). It’s so easy you won’t even have to phone a friend.
THE BUCKET HAT
Dial it back to 1990 with the unpretentious utility of a bucket hat. This one’s $59 from our Considered, 100% linen label AERE.
THE SHIRT
Assembly Label’s linen shirts don’t have bestseller status for nothing. They’re a versatile post-beach or going-out option and they come in pattern (stripes) or pastel (seafoam, amber etc). WIN.
THE SNEAKERS
Ecru – the colour of the season – is the star of these Sebago sneakers. Equal second is their rubber sole, minimal eyelets and comfy padded collar. If you were wondering, écru means 'raw' in French.
THE CHRONOGRAPH
This essential timepiece, complete with multiple sub-dials implies you’re on a mission. Boy, would you look at the time. Don’t you have somewhere to be? It’s the gentleman’s scapegoat.
THE SHADES
Quay’s matte black shades with smoke tinted, UV-protective lenses suit just about everyone. We’ll just leave this one here… but don’t let the women in your life get a hand on them (read: they’re unisex).
THE POOL SLIDES
A woven, genuine leather upper and quality construction make these ideal for summer dips. Slide on, slide off.
THE SHORTS
Aloha! Channel paradise casual in these shorts paired with the above sneakers or trade them for bare feet and a turkish towel whipped nonchalantly over your shoulder. A true Out Of Office statement.
THE WALLET
All the dosh you saved on these threads that look less than they are will live in this sturdy number. But only in spirit – who uses cash anymore?
