Beautiful things: Slip-on shoes, azure sunglasses and the Acqua di Parma shaving kit

The number one trend in men’s footwear is the slip-on shoe. Whether you’re after a moccasin or a loafer, we have you covered.
The slip-on is back. Whether it takes the form of a leather loafer paired with a suit or a silk slipper teamed with a dinner jacket, your wardrobe should contain at least one pair. Moccasins – ideally made from soft deer leather – are a great way to dress down an otherwise smart look, giving you the chance to add a splash of colour to your outfit, and they look great with shorts.
Make sure you wear them without (visible) socks – flashing a bit of ankle is still very much on trend. We especially love the range of spectacularly over-the-top printed slippers available at Dolce & Gabbana.

This summer blue isn’t just the warmest colour, it’s positively hot: time to roll out the azure sunnies.
Rejoice, for this season’s must have colour is the most liveable and convenient of them all: blue. But just because you can wear it with anything, doesn’t mean it has to be dull. As the above sunglasses show, this classic colour can be used to make quite a statement.
Paired with a navy blue jacket and white shirt, a pair of azure, navy or aquamarine sunnies is the perfect icing on the sartorial cake. This year, Emporio Armani, Ray-Ban and Spektre are leading the pack when it comes to on-trend shades. The shape doesn’t matter so much: whether you’re going round or square, tortoiseshell or steel, make sure you opt for this season’s hottest shade.

With shaving kits this good, no wonder beards are going out of fashion.
