We all love the summer and everything it brings, including the good weather (most of the time!)
But when the temperatures go up, you might be wondering what to wear in the hot weather.
It can get humid, close, and sticky, no matter if it’s day or night. You’ll still need to wear clothes, so this guide addresses that.
Here’s what to wear when we’re having a spot of hot weather. From the best menswear to the coolest fabrics and materials, you’ll learn it all in this guide.
There’s so much great TV on at the moment. With plenty new shows, returning series and older shows you can’t get enough of, now the the perfect time to binge watch some of the best box sets!

It’s no secret that Summer is my favourite season, I love it for so many reasons, and having that perfect summer fragrance is a must.

So what scent should you wear? What are the best fragrances for summer?

This is the Valentino Born In Roma collection, here’s what it smells like and everything you need to know.
Can you have too many jackets? The obvious answer is yes you can, but how many jackets should I own could be a question you have.
I do really like to wear a button up cardigan. I think they’re stylish, and you can create so many outfits wearing them.
A lot of the time you’ll want to fasten it, but what’s the etiquette?
This is how to button a cardigan correctly, and be stylish at the same time.
Have you ever been in a situation where you want to wear something different from your favourite pair of denim, but don’t know where to turn? Traditional trousers are too formal, and sweats are too sloppy. Where do you turn?
You need a pair of chinos. These trousers are incredibly versatile, and can be dressed up as well as dressed down, and will work with virtually anything.
If you’re looking for a smart casual outfit, to add some colour to your usual look or want an alternative to jeans, a good modern pair of chinos is possibly the best option you have.
You can definitely make these a wardrobe essential, and build so many of your outfits around a good pair of chinos.
Is it just me, or are fragrance dupes everywhere now?
Maybe it’s because I write a lot about perfumes and aftershaves, but I am seeing a fragrance dupe all the time.
If you don’t already know, a fragrance dupe is a scent which smells exactly like a designer fragrance. They’re cheaper alternatives made for the sole purpose of smelling like a more expensive scent.
Dupe is simply short language for “duplicate”, i.e. a certain smell has been recreated or duplicated by someone else.
As people’s tastes for more expensive designer and niche fragrances grow, people want the high end perfumes and aftershaves. But without the price tag.
That is where the dupe comes in.
Here’s what you need to know about dupes.
