Another year and another summer settle into the UK, aside from weather warnings – it can’t be a British summer without the torrential rain – and the odd heat wave, swimwear happens to be at the forefront of the season as a wardrobe essential. And we here at Clothes Make The Man have chosen some pieces that you should have for your summer wardrobe.
Key trends seen across the menswear scene are clearly represented through a range of high-street and luxury brands such as ASOS, All Saints and the designer collections at Selfridges to name a few.
