Naval Printed Shirt
£500 | Mithridate
Obviously, I am biased (having designed it), but the Mithridate PF26 collection just dropped and it’s great. This silk shirt is top of my list.
Available at Mithridate.com
Collapse Re-Nylon & Suede Elasticized Sneakers
£720 | Prada
I will not be taking the Prada Collapse trainers off my feet this summer – perhaps for a paddle in the sea, but maybe not even then. The Palisander colour really does go with everything.
Available at Prada.com
Dover Street Counter
This summer you’ll find me escaping the heat with a cosmopolitan at the Dover Street Counter, my new favourite Mayfair spot.

Wool-Mohair Boxy Blazer
£2,410 | Versace
I never saw myself as a Versace boy, but I loved Dario Vitale’s SS26 collection for the house. I’m sad he only got one shot at it, but I guess that makes the designs of his that did make it to the store all the more covetable.
Available at Farfetch.com
Where Are the Kings
£16.14 | Donal Ryan
This is a tender and moving book that you’ll find me reading on the roof this July.
Available at Amazon.co.uk
Clothes Horse
£295 | Dunkerton
Given it is so hot this summer, tumble dryers are out. And who said hanging out your washing can’t be chic? This clothes horse from Dunkerton Home is essential.
Available at DunkertonHome.com
Confessions II Vinyl
£28.99 | Madonna
If you’ve managed to avoid the Madonna hype this past month, well done, but it’s now time to get on board. Confessions II has arrived and it is magnificent.
Available at Madonna.com
Slim Ribbed Cotton T-Shirt
£30 | COS
When I say I live in these t-shirts, it truly is no exaggeration. They are perfect in every way (and every colour).
Available at COS.com
Damask Woven Shorts
£1,810 | JW Anderson
It could be the Bad Bunny or Harry Styles effect, but it’s most definitely a short shorts summer. These slightly extravagant JW Anderson ones fit the bill for me.
Available at JWAnderson.com
*Queer Boy Tee
£27 | Qwah
Sebastian Croft got me onto this perfect tee for a hot queer boy summer. All profits support LGBTQIA+ refugees and displaced people via Choose Love.
Available at Qwah.Shop
Bistro Boys Gone Wrong
Price On Enquiry | Tim Shaw
I look forward to the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition every year – there are so many wonderful artworks to see (and take home). This year I fell for Tim Shaw’s bronze BISTO KIDS GONE WRONG.
Available at TimShawEditions.com
Super Host Pack
£140 | MOTH
I am always the summer party host, and these cocktail cans save my arms from long days of shaking them myself. Mine will always be a margarita.
Available at MothDrinks.com
Frida: The Making of an Icon
Tate Modern Exhibition
Art is hot this summer. It’s hard to narrow down the whole list of shows I want to see (Anish Kapoor at the Hayward Gallery, Schiaparelli at the V&A, Holy Pop! at Somerset House) but the Frida Kahlo show at Tate Modern is not one to miss.

Double-Breasted Tuxedo Jacket
£2,910 | Saint Laurent
I’ve got a couple of weddings this summer, so I’m going to need a good tux. I’ve got a Mithridate one hung in my wardrobe already, but I may not be able to resist this sharp-shouldered Saint Laurent number.
Available at YSL.com
