Ally Capellino waxed canvas tote

Every should own a smart and roomy tote bag for weekend urban exploration, and thanks to the addition of leather over-the-shoulder straps and a secure zip-up top, this is one of the sleekest around. £146. Available to buy now at allycapellino.co.uk

J Crew x Pierre le Tan socks

Both summer and the stylish stands of Design Miami might be far away (both physically and metaphorically), but that doesn’t mean we don’t love these summery new socks, designed in celebration of the festival by J Crew in collaboration with French illustrator Pierre le Tan. £22.50. Available at J Crew, 165 Regent St, London W1B 4ND.

Levi’s Trucker 2 jacket

Proof that a classic sometimes benefits from a tweak now and again: Levi’s lightweight Trucker 2 is a lighter, more shirt-like take on the original with added material strips down the centre. The lighter “milky way” wash is perfect with beige chinos or black jeans. £95. Available to buy now at levis.com

Scotch & Soda pullover

Nautical striped sweatshirts are a summer essential - so they tend to fly off the shelves quickly. Get this one - cut from a warm weather-appropriate linen and cotton mix - before the crowds do. £114.95. Available at scotch-soda.com

Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit

Another riff on a classic - this time thanks to Nike giving its Air Force 1 a Flyknit remix for the very first time. Forget Yeezys, this is what we want to slip into when the weather dries up a bit. £150. Available to buy now at nike.com

Sons of London ‘Fifth Son’ boots

On the smarter end of the scale, we’re enjoying this new take on the leather Jodphur boot by new British brand Sons of London - which removes any fiddly fastening by installing a zip on the side instead of the traditional buckle. £200. Available to buy now at sonsoflondon.com

Finlay and Co. Beaumont sunglasses

Want to stand out in a sea of tortoiseshell Wayfarers? Try these Riviera-worthy wood and gold shades from London-based accessories-master Finlay & Co. You can even get them engraved if you really want to set yourself apart. £170 (engraving £40). Available to buy now at finlayandco.com

7 For All Mankind Foolproof jeans

Can’t wait for your jeans to air dry? 7 For All Mankind’s new Foolproof range is cut from denim that’s designed to resist shrinkage from any sort of washing, drying or wearing. Jeans you can’t destroy? It’s a no-brainer. We particularly like the slimmer Ronnie fit in dark indigo. £180. Available to buy now at 7forallmankind.co.uk

WESC x Hanon shirt

Stockholm and Aberdeen unite in this new collaboration, fusing the Scandi sensibility of WESC with the street cred of Scottish shop Hanon. Our pick of the pack in this skate-ready collection is the Abergeldie Shirt, a monochrome riff on the traditional Aberdeen tartan. £89. Available to buy now at hanon-shop.com

Thom Browne baseball jacket

Thom Browne, king of prep, strikes again with this suitably American red, white and blue deerskin stripe bomber. £2,347.01. Available to buy now at farfetch.com
