"New season is here but it's not exactly summer weather yet so I'm busy topping up my wardrobe with a mix of design classics that I can wear now and later. I'll get more colourful as the sun starts to shine and I am pondering my next rucksack, but for now if I've got to narrow it down to just five pieces, it'll be these….Can you have too many Breton striped knits? Probably, but I'm nowhere near there yet, and this pink striped take on the classic will set me apart."

"Paris design doyen A.P.C. has been busy. As well as teaming up with Carhartt, tuning up its Madras line and creating out some awesome Bretons like the one above, it has sourced classic heritage waxing and created the perfect black country jacket."

"I love this bomber jacket and could easily imagine Ryan Gosling in it. Moreover though, this season is the last ever range from D&G as the line gets swallowed up by its big brother Dolce & Gabbana line, and that means I'll be snapping up as much of it as I can."

"Have you been thinking about loafers yet? I have. And desert boots, and chukkas and brogues. But these are top of the list right now. Step into them and you've made your first step into summer – these will be perfect with shorts, chinos and denim this year. And pretty much any other year, come to that."

"Every season there's a slew of new collaborations. Some are good, some less so. This one is great. Cult Japanese designer Tokihito Yoshida has been working with Barbour on its Beacon Heritage range for a while now and up until now the focus has been outerwear but I love this knit. It's beautifully constructed without being over the top and is packed with details like the detachable hood."
