The Monaco look is high end but effortless…no mean feat, but we’re here to help

Men
Woven wonders
These woven, backless men’s loafers from Malone Souliers are intricately crafted and in a beautiful neutral colour that takes you from the beach to a premiere in minutes. A loafer may be a timeless classic that elevates any look but take note: the backless style requires a pedicure before wearing.
Woven Calf slippers, £575, 19 Mount Street
Look smart
A smart, versatile tailored mid-length short will never go out of fashion. Try Dunhill’s cotton poplin Bermuda shorts in stone, £265 – they pair equally well with a smart shirt as with a T-shirt and flip flops.
48 Jermyn St / 17 Av. des Spélugues, 98000 Monaco
Sheer luxe
Sometimes, fashion is to make a statement with – and what better way to do so than in Dior’s new off white silk muslin tank top? Did we mention it has a belt, an elongated fit, and it’s sheer? Inspired by a sailor top from the Dior menswear archives, we say copy the runway look and layer it up for a night on the town.
£1,450, Avenue des Beaux-Arts, 98000 Monte-Carlo; 160-162 New Bond Street
Women
Striped sensation
A good bikini is a staple, and those in the know head straight to Eres. Its striped set has a flattering high waisted bottom with eyelet detailing and an underwired retro-style top. The stripes have been inspired by beaches, seaside hotels and deckchairs – all the good things. Corazón Underwired Bra, £415, and Encanta High Briefs, £365, 3 Burlington Gardens / 31 Bd des Moulins, 98000 Monaco
In the bag
This year is – wait for it – the 20th anniversary of Mulberry’s iconic Bayswater bag, and it has stood the test of time. To celebrate, three new styles have been introduced: the smaller East/ West Bayswater, the North/South tote (the perfect shoulder bag) and the zipped Bayswater tote, which is as roomy as they come with plenty of zips. There’s more newness in colourways, too – we like the pigment blue. For a summer jaunt though you can’t beat the mini Bayswater, reimagined in raffia for a limited time only. £1,495, 100 Regent Street
I see you
Linda Farrow’s ‘Lady Driver’ campaign was shot in St Tropez and focuses on the French Riviera. It’s all about luxe details: think chunky chains, gold finishes and oversized lenses. We’ll pair ours with a Grace Kelly-inspired headscarf for old school glamour. 91 Mount Street
