Hello from temperate Scotland, where it’s been warm during the day and cool at night. I’ve always liked a place where summer evenings call for an extra layer. After a few recent trips, I realized I should be more intentional about what I pack this time of year. A little bit of strategy goes a long way toward feeling well put together. I spend a lot of time thinking about autumn clothes, but it's usually my summer wardrobe that could use the most work. So I’ve gone deep on summer wardrobe options.
A few months ago I ran into Toby Bateman and the team from Mr Porter. I've been a friend to those guys at MRP and a customer for years. There are very few retailers whose point of view and designer list that I trust more. If I could only buy clothes from one place, this would probably be it. I spent some time building a wish list of pieces I'd actually like to wear over the next few months. We’re in the heart of summer, so here are 50+ good things to wear.

On a serious note, any experience with Morjas espadrilles?
What are the best loafers to wear with jeans? Ideally a pair that can be dressed up or down. Seems I’m on a never ending pursuit. Thanks
