You’ve got less to work with. Picking the right layers can be a bit of a guessing game thanks to the changeable weather, and you might find yourself falling into the old overshirt/T-shirt/jeans trap day in, day out.

When you look good, you feel good, and that can boost confidence, elevate your mood and ultimately put you in a better headspace. Unfortunately, the fashion world isn’t a cheap place. Factor in rising prices and stagnating wages, and decking a wardrobe out in new clothes becomes a completely unrealistic prospect for many.

It’s easy to forget how much time you actually spend in bed. Spoiler: it's a rather significant chunk of your time on Earth. So it stands to reason that what you put on it should be given the same level of consideration as, say, your winter coat or your favourite pair of Derby shoes. You want something good. Something that will last. Something that doesn’t look like it belongs in a serviced apartment. Enter: the JORO Home linen bedding collection.

You just want to get the barbecue fired up and retire your parka from service for another year. But to miss out on the joy of light outerwear is to do yourself a disservice because spring and summer, oddly enough, are the seasons when some of the finest jackets ever designed come into their own. Outerwear doesn’t have to be big, bulky and heavy.

Men are, as a rule, slightly apprehensive when it comes to hats. Partly because it feels like an unnecessary flourish, and partly because we are haunted by the fear of hat hair. But there is a case to be made for a small, curated rotation of weather-appropriate headwear. The types of hat that don’t try too hard, that serve a purpose, and that feel like a natural extension of your capsule wardrobe rather than an embellishment. The key is choosing hats that are low on ego and high on utility.

Moscot is one of the very few eyewear brands that bridges the worlds of heritage and subcultural style with any real credibility. You should care about Moscot sunglasses for the same reason you care about a pair Alden loafers of or a Baracuta G9 jacket. These designs tell a story, they have history rooted in craftsmanship and cultural identity, and they’re designs that have quietly endured for over a century, spurring countless imitations.

When it comes to sportswear collaborations, few brands manage to strike a convincing balance between function and finesse. But ASICS and A.P.C. – the former a master of high-performance athletic design, the latter a standard bearer for Parisian cool – have come surprisingly close with their new joint collection. A collection led by a particularly polished take on sneaker-of-the-moment, the Gel-Kayano 14.

Your underwear shouldn’t be an afterthought. Yes, it remains hidden under your clothing most of the time, but that in itself makes it the foundation of every outfit. Decent underwear will make you feel good, and when you feel good, it shows. You might even feel more confident and carry yourself in a self-assured manner. Or, at the very least, your undercarriage will be more comfortable.
