Summers on its way, and with it 58% of us are planning to travel somewhere hot and exotic or an action packed adventure there are a few things we think you shouldn’t leave without.
And whether it’s a long romantic weekend, a relaxing week with the family or a boy’s only getaway there’s always those luxuries and some essentials that you simply have to pack.

1) Swimwear.
We’ve found this year’s must have, Kiniki have designed the ultimate men’s swimwear with a great fabric that means NO tan lines, yes no white bits !!!

Transol fabric, better known as ‘Tan Through’ is an exclusive, patented material, developed by Kiniki to allow the suns tanning rays to pass through it, helping you achieve that all over golden glow.

They’ve got styles and colours to suit almost everyone, from trunks, shorts and hipsters and if you’re feeling extra brave there’s even the brief, micro or tanga. And with high street prices you can afford to splash out on a few pairs, or a pair for every beach you lounge on.

2) Sunglasses.

Now everybody loves a classic Ray Ban, but if you want something that’s going to turn heads this summers…we’ve found it.

Brought to you by Saturday Surf NYC , these Mitsu are the sunglasses made for surfers (and surfers that don’t necessarily surf). These sunglasses handmade in Japan have an amazing rounded frame, which blends together outstanding quality with excellent aesthetic.

They have a range of colours including black, fog, amber and classic tortoiseshell. Along with polarised lenses and an anti-reflective coating, these really are great for any time or place.

3) Passport.

It may sound obvious but if you are flying out this summer there is one thing that you will definitely need, and that’s a passport, but many people often fail to check that they either haven’t lost it or that it is still in date.

If like most of us you’ve misplaced it…forgot to renew it or your holiday is next month and you realised the forms are still sitting in the kitchen…Don’t panic, we’ve got it covered. Here’s our top list of hints and tips to ensure that you won’t be left stressing out about your Passport before your summer holidays.

If your passport is out of date (but you still have it) you can either use the 3-5 week postal service to renew your passport, or if you need it urgently the Passport Office offer a same-day urgent service.

If you’ve lost your passport or had it stolen ensure that you leave yourself plenty of time before you renew as the renewal process is slightly limited as you are only able to use either the standard 3-5 week service or a fast-track one week service, the same-day service is not available for lost or stolen passports.

If your passport is damaged for example, it’s been put through the washing machine or the dog got hold of it, then you will need to renew it. Don’t try and chance it as the border patrols are often very strict on this issue and even the slightest rip, tear or even peeling pages can get you turned away from your holiday destination. The same-day service is also not available for damaged passports so plan ahead.

Urgent services are available to anyone who wants to renew a passport quickly, but we highly recommend them for those who are travelling in less than 4 weeks.

You can find out more information on passport renewals by visiting  The Gov Website or if you would like to get your passport urgently you can try The Passport Office  or The Post Office they offer advice and checking services as well as services for urgent passports if your in a hurry, and can sort all the forms and details out for you.

4) Sun screen.

If as fed up with the oily, bright white, hard to rub in substances as I am, then I’m sure this will interest. Ultrasun Sports SPF20 sun protector is a speciality sports formula designed to provide high all day protection with just one application, yes just once. The non-greasy, clear liquid is easy to apply and is ideal for all outdoor, watersports and sun bathing enthusiasts. It is especially suitable for use on the scalp, or for thinning/receding hair, not that YOU need to worry about that.

It’s also free from oils, emulsifiers and perfume reducing the risk of allergy. Don’t forget to be safe in the sun, drink plenty of water and take regular breaks in the shade, you hear ?!?!

We have such movie “Classics” as Hotel Transylvania 2,  The Transporter Refueled, Pitch Perfect 2, Ted 2, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (I seem to have missed the first one). Right the way through to Batman Vs Superman,  Bond 24 aka Spectre, and of course the red letter day that is December 18th, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. However, first up is a Blockbuster of a Blockbuster is the heroic form of Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron !!!! Earth’s Mightiest Heroes return to the big screen in the highly anticipated movie. As the synopsis foretells, “When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to the Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.”

These heroes include Scarlett Johannson’s character ‘Black Widow’, Chris Evans’ Captain America, Jeremy Renner’s character Hawkeye and Nick Fury himself, played by Samuel L. Jackson. For Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), Matchless created the ‘Captain Jacket’, a timeless blouson with two front pockets made of Matchless treated calf brown leather making it soft, strong and very resistant. For Hawkeye’s alter ego Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner), the costume designer chose the classic Matchless ‘Osborne Ltd Edition Blouson’. This fitted leather blouson with its round collar is made in Matchless’s signature black calf leather, keeping our Super Hero cool at all times. For the ever cool commanding figure that is Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) the designer chose another contemporary Matchless design, which has now been renamed the ‘Fury Coat’ in the character’s honour. This classic 3⁄4 black jacket combines the lightly aged soft Nappa leather with treated wool fabric.

Its fair to say Rene Lacoste was somewhat of a renaissance man, after having invented the polo shirt and the tennis-ball machine, who knew that, see you learn so much from coming on here, he decided to patent two racket models that would revolutionize the world of tennis. In 1961, the former champion unveils one of his most brilliant inventions: the metal racket that deeply transforms the game by improving strikes and increasing their elasticity. In 1988, René Lacoste invents the Equijet. This new style of racket combines the best of smaller and larger string beds. Like its predecessor, the steel racket, the high-performance Equijet contributes to the evolution of tennis. René Lacoste explains his intention with the Equijet: “I wanted to give back to tennis what it had given me”. It was a beautiful tribute paid to the sport to which he devoted his whole life. In 2015, animated by the same quest for innovation, LACOSTE launches the LT12, a hybrid racket born from the combination of wood and graphite.

Three years of research were necessary for the development of this unique object. By combining craftsmanship and sophisticated manufacturing, LACOSTE managed a technical prowess by assem- bling two completely opposite materials: the LT12 is 70% wood and 30% graphite.

To accompany the launch of the LT12, LACOSTE has designed an innovative capsule range combining tradition and technology. Petit piqué, color blocking, piping, patterns… the well-known features of the brand DNA are revisited and modernized for a timeless elegance collection. Inspired by tennis’ primary aesthetics: the prevalence of white, clean lines and sleek shapes. The iconic LACOSTE green and blue come in for energy and movement. Lightness, functionality and comfort are the key words in the design of this range that combines tradition and innovation. The abstract print of the T-shirts is reminiscent of tennis courts, which is a reference to the 1970s and 1980s color blocking. Piping highlights polo shirts, tracksuits, shorts and caps. A “Game Set and Match” sweatshirt rounds out this sports wardrobe.

Accessories form an integral part of this project, where they form a similar technical features seen on the garments. A tennis bag, a backpack, and footwear that can be Used for everyday life off the court, and the Tonga watch in steel and silicon with glasses in acetate encompasses the aesthetics of the collection.
