Men! Your essential summer accessories edit has arrived
A woo guide to all the best bits for a SS23 wardrobe update
words Eve Walker
You may look up and see a sky that's closer to 'grey' than 'vacay', but that doesn't mean it's not summer. The days are warmer, and as your inbox gets flooded with annual leave invites, now is a great time to be thinking about treating yourself to a transitional piece.
In higher temperatures when summer comes round, the idea is to wear and carry as little as possible, but still look, and feel good. This is where accessories come in. Whether you’re lounging poolside in a Miami hotel (we can dream), or taking a breather in your local park, we've got you covered. From SS23 inspired caps, to pastel dream crocs, here is our round up of all the best bits your wardrobe is begging for.
