How to look good on holiday as a man: the best trunks, linen shirts and sandals for summer 2025

A good shirt is essential to model Oliver Cheshire, who founded his resortwear label CHÉ Studios with Toby Watkins in 2019. 'Natural fibre crochet tops in the daytime will keep you looking and feeling cool, while in the evening try something a little looser with a touch of shine like a silk shirt to really set the glamour tone,' he says. The short sleeve options start at £95 and go up to £200. Great linen shirts can be custom made at Blugiallo, or are perfectly serviceable from M&S, while Hackney-founded Percival has made a best seller of boxy, grandpa-style shirts. 'They are key for evenings when you need to look slightly more put-together but still want that untucked energy that says 'I'm on holiday and I'm having a brilliant time',' says founder Chris Gove.

I'm a mum of 12 – £4.50 IKEA buy is a live-saver for our busy council house bathroom, it lasts forever too

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM-OF-12 has revealed the bargain IKEA buy she swears by to keep on top of the busy family bathroom. Zoe, 47, and Ben Sullivan, 50, and their bumper brood make up one of Scotland's biggest families. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Mum-of-12 Zoe Sullivan swears by an IKEA gadget for her bathroom Credit: Zoe Sullivan 3 The mum admits it's hard to store all the family's toiletries in the bathroom Credit: Zoe Sullivan 3 The IKEA caddy has racked up rave five-star reviews Credit: Zoe Sullivan The pair are parents to Elizabeth, 20, Olivia, 18, Noah, 15, Eva, 13, Toby, 12, Agnes, seven, Joseph, six, Flo, three, and two sets of twins, Charlotte and Isabelle, 17, and Leah and Erin, nine. They live in a six-bedroom council house in Burghead, Moray, where they regularly document their hectic lives on their YouTube channel. With 14 people sharing two bathrooms, Zoe said she has to clean the space "all the time". And storage for everybody's toiletries can be a nightmare. In a short social media video, Zoe said: "We were in desperate need of some new bathroom caddies. "I had these metal ones which have been okay. I got them from B&M, but obviously because they get wet all the time they rust really easily and they don't stick all that well." The mum then stumbled across the perfect £4.50 buy from IKEA. Hailing the TISKEN basket with suction cup, she said: "These are great if you don't want to drill anything into the wall, especially if you are renting. "We've got a lot of stuff in the bathroom. There's a lot of people and this is our main bathroom. "But once you stick those things down, they are not going anywhere. I was fed up of my council bathroom looking like a s--thole so transformed it with stick on tiles & an £80 shower screen "They're plastic so they don't rust, easily cleaned just and they they're massive. They hold so much." IKEA bosses say the caddie "puts things within easy reach" without having to drill any holes into your walls. They add: "The tight-grip suction cups won't let go of smooth surfaces like glass or tiles – unless you want them to." And Zoe isn't the only person raving about them, with the handy gadget racking up five-star reviews on the website. One person said: "I was concerned about it staying put, due to only the suction hooks that hold it secure against the surface. This is unbelievable secure. Brilliant." A second wrote: "Bought these because all the metal ones I have bought have rusted. Basic but holds a ton of products. Very secure when installed. We have some texture on our tiles and it's still very secure." Meanwhile, a third added: "Bought this for all the bottles that drive me mad in the shower. "Hubby was skeptical,said wouldn't hold etc but he's been proven wrong, so strong and stays out even full of bottles and no chrome to rust either!"
