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.
