SUMMER STYLE

What to wear this summer? When styling men white always looks great with a tan as this Nikki Beach White Party shows. White shorts tight black T shirt, coloured linen shirt for an easy, cool look. Colours? Choose black, pale blue, turquoise or dark red. Linen shirts can be found everywhere. Keep it simple for instant sex appeal.

Add a panama hat to impress. Markets all over France, Italy have these for good reason.
Choose Aviator shades, add espadrilles in black for a European look, to take you from beach to bar. Swimming trunks choose one colour, Olebar Brown make great ones. The flowery look is now overcooked. I feel the same way about these as I feel about boxers with little devils. Fun? Yes, Sexy? No. Replace baggy shapeless trunks with tailored ones effortless style.

For evening swap the shorts for jeans in black or white, add another linen shirt. T shirts choose black, white or blue on top. If you are heavy add a one button linen jacket in white to hide a tummy.

Where to stay? Bastide de Salins, Pans de Palais, Byblos in St Tropez or visit Grimaud. Enjoy some Rose` on me!

The sun seems to have finally returned after its long holiday down South, and the fresh spring winds lift the beautiful scent of freshly cut grass and blossoming flower buds into the warm air. For a perfect outfit to feel comfortable and stylish in these welcomed sunny days, try out this simple outfit.

Pairing together a light tan cotton blazer and well washed denim jeans gives a wonderfully laid back feel, and the pale colour palette is finely suited to spring days. In order to give the outfit a point of visual intrigue, a checked shirt can work wonders when worn against a plain blazer. Desert boots are the perfect shoe for this season, being smarter than your plimsoles yet with an equally casual appeal. A canvas as opposed to suede will help your feet breath easier after long walks in the park. However, also remember that spring is also prone to winds and cooler periods, so a simple thin scarf will work wonders for both keeping you warm, whilst also providing a cooling effect in strong sunshine.
