Fashion: Stay cool by the pool
The sartorial spotlight this summer is firmly on the guys for a change, with the inaugural London menswear Fashion Week kicking off on Tuesday. So why not take the opportunity to spruce yourself up a bit? First stop: a holiday shop which should include some swimming trunks of distinction. MYO is a British company that trades in Italian luxury, with each pair woven in Como (ooh!) according to the aesthetics of bespoke tailoring (aah!). There's nothing better to swim or be seen in this year. £135, myoswimwear.com
