We know holidays can be stressful, and one thing you don’t want to have to think about too much is your wardrobe. Fear not, our fashion editor’s pick from MR PORTER is here! Whether you’re a robust character in favour of something loud, or sophisticated, low key and classic, MR PORTER have you covered with their online holiday shop:
If you’re feeling the frivolity, MR PORTER‘s summer shop has plenty of sophisticated prints for you to pick from. The key is picking the right colour combos. You might like the pictures or the patterns, but look past that and see that all the colours work together, like the ones pictured.

Tailored swim shorts are increasingly more popular. They allow you to go that little bit shorter with conviction- with the fits, fabrics and retro vibes working in your favour and keeping it all chic. You have to accessorise this to its full Talented Mr Ripley potential. Keep plenty of white and Navy mixes with the occasional breton stripe, as well as classic sunglasses to get your best Jude Law look down.

We’ve covered print, but lines and geometry are a winner if you want something gregarious, but not too gawdy. Your stripes can go every which way, and can differ in length, but only commit to one item of clothing with stripes – clashing stripes are not a good look.
1. Christopher Kane pages printed cotton-jersey t-shirt, £108 at MR PORTER
2. Saturdays Surf NYC grant stripe swimshorts, £42 at MR PORTER
3. Fresvobol carioca striped linen beach towel, £95 at MR PORTER
4. Paul Smith acetate and metal sunglasses, £125 at MR PORTER
5. Cutler and Gross mirrored aviator sunglasses, £310 at MR PORTER
6. Loewe degrade-striped cotton jersey t-shirt, £325 at MR PORTER
There isn’t much to add to the boy who wants to show off: a simple pair of nice brief styles, a pair of sunglasses and flip flops (oh and your towel to dry yourself) are all you need for if you want to be the centre of attention on the beach. One tip: colour coordinate, but make sure you have one item that throws off the head-to-toe look.
1. Ray-ban polarised aviator sunglasses, £190 at MR PORTER
2. Dan Ward swim trunks, £45 at MR PORTER
3. Frescobol Carioca linen towel, £85 at MR PORTER
4. Havianas rubber flip flops, £22 at MR PORTER
All of these products are available at the MR PORTER holiday shop, where there are a wealth of options for you to pick from for your holiday.
