£100 at David Gandy Wellwear

22 Double-breasted suit

Wedding season is now in full force, so you may be hoping to update your suit rack. This year’s all about double-breasted – and seeing as it’s a cut that’s been around since the early 1900s, we’re sure you’ll be able to wear it for years to come.

If you have a few events coming up where you’ll need tailoring, don’t worry about buying multiple suits: just switch up the accoutrements – shirt, tie, socks and so on. Once this year’s nuptials are over, you can wear the jacket or trousers as separates, too.

23 The plain polo

Fashion’s obsession with the Gallagher brothers and all things Britpop has returned for 2025 – most likely thanks to Oasis’s reunion tour happening later this year. Whatever the reason, it seems polo shirts, a key part of the Britpop uniform, are back in a big way. I’d recommend sticking to the brands best known for their signature polo shirts, such as Lacoste, Fred Perry, Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren, and go for the classics.

24 Lesser-known retro trainers

If you’re experiencing Adidas Samba fatigue, it could be time to update your sneaker collection with a pair that’s not so overfamiliar. Enter: Gola’s signature silhouette, the Harrier. It ticks all of the same boxes – comfy, retro-inspired and versatile – and for a great price. But let’s keep it as our little secret.

25 Gladiator-inspired sandals

Gladiator sandals are, quite literally, ancient history. Though they date back quite some time, they’re most recently associated with the boho It Girls of the noughties, such as Sienna Miller and Kate Moss. This time, it’s men slipping into the strappy soles instead.

Don’t worry – we’re not suggesting you go for those with knee-high ties like the socialites of the early aughts. The menswear take is tougher and sleeker. Most are a slip-on construction with thicker leather straps and a proper base – if you’d rather go for an ankle strap, try to keep it minimal and understated. Schuh has just the pair.

26 The return of the Casio

A brand that’s still as relevant today as when its watch collection launched in the 70s? Casio. This year, the instantly recognisable gold-tone design, the A168WG-9EF, was worn by golden boy Harris Dickinson in cult favourite movie Babygirl. A couple of years ago, it was Barry Keoghan wearing the silver version in Saltburn, and the Casio F-91W is a regular in Stranger Things. Whichever you pick, you’re guaranteed a great balance of style, practicality and affordability.

27 Penny loafers for smart-casual settings

With the rise and rise of modern New York prep – take a look at fashion crowd favourite Aimé Leon Dore for the style cues – a pair of loafers is a great investment for the shoe rack.

They’re capable of smartening up pretty much every outfit you can think of. Trousers and a shirt. Jeans and a polo shirt. Even track pants and a T-shirt. Two-tone penny loafers are great in the sunny weather, but you could also keep it classic with a pair that’s all black – and never forget your socks.

28 Buy a baseball cap

It’s a testament to the baseball cap that not even Trump’s campaign could kill its hype within the fashionsphere. There’s even an ongoing TikTok trend about how much hotter men look while wearing caps (especially backwards, apparently). Just make sure you avoid the Maga slogan at all costs.

The best baseball cap in 2025, in my opinion, is one with understated embroidery or applique detailing, an unstructured front section – which usually comes with six panels – and a curved peak. Scrt has a unique offering that’s inspired by cult classic pop culture from La Haine to the Streets.

29 Wear a sterling silver chain

A silver chain is the perfect finishing touch to an unbuttoned collar – and silver offsets a light summer tan nicely (don’t forget your SPF, though). In this era of financial uncertainty, the unfussy, cheaper alternative to gold is rising in popularity. You can get solid sterling silver for a great price, so try to avoid anything made using brass as it will tarnish and leave green traces on your skin. My favourite? Mejuri’s barrel chain: each individual link will glint nicely in the sun.

30 A strong, high-quality tote bag

Although tote bags are nothing new, there aren’t many which deliver on good quality and design. There are three main factors to look out for: a substantial fabric, a structured bottom, and a handle that easily goes over your shoulder. A bag with all three is APC’s Laure bag – or the Daniela (£115) if you’re after a slightly bigger size. Choose right, and you’ll be covered for beach trips and park picnics alike.
