Scarf Face

The foulard, the neckerchief - alright, dammit, the bloody scarf - has wound its way into our summer accessories drawer like a family of dormice looking for a cosy home.

Manly dormice, mind. A brilliant way to add some interest to an otherwise everyday jeans and T-shirt combo - the summer scarf is this season's man-accessory du jour.The key thing is weight. Go for styles in flimsy silky rayon or fine cotton - anything heavier and you'll look like an old man suffering from hypothermia. And be cautious about colour too. Anything too bright will fast-track you to the Matthew Williamson school of accessorizing. And with its Bollywood meets Ibiza aesthetic, that's more than enough colour for all of us.

    We may not get the whole of August off like the rest of Europe (grr), but one solution might be to sport stylish swimming shorts at our desks (ladies should tread with caution before rocking up in a bikini). Well, at least we can pretend.

  • Adam Beaumont-Brown’s Dos and Donts for Mens Swim Shorts

    Swimsuit shopping. Not the most inspiring pastime. But if you know what things will help instead of hinder your shape, it could go down a lot better. Below are Adam Beaumont-Brown’s (of cult menswear swimshorts label Orlebar Brown) top tips for men’s swimwear.

  • Slum Lords

    They’re hardly the height of glamour, and the merest mention of M&S, John Lewis and Debenhams sends shivers down your spine, but where else (and this is why your mum loved them) can you do anywhere near as much one-stop–shopping?

  • Dover Street Market's Interior Revamp

    One of UJ's favourites, DSM , totally revamping their interiors for the new collections; fashion's a speedy business these days, and we got inside the store to bring you photos of the brand new spaces.
