This outfit is all about keeping things simple. Monochrome outfits have had a resurgence in recent seasons, and it’s a comeback we welcome. Here, the light reflective beige tone will keep temperatures down in baking heat, as will the no-sock approach to the loafer. The single-breasted jacket, the buttonless knitted polo and the minimalist loafer design all help to keep things uncomplicated. Take off the jacket and the outfit still looks intentional and stylish.

And finally, the third outfit (like a third child) brings zest to the party. Officially a light sand tone, it has an almost butter-yellow look in the flesh, and is a point of departure from usual tailoring tones. We have played into the preppy sense of colour by adding a navy medallion silk tie, plus a striped bengal shirt, proving once again that yellow and blue are a knock-out summer combo. In keeping with the relaxed sense of fun, the brown penny loafers offer trendiness, panache and comfort.
