Continue the vibrant colour theme by matching them with a bright blue polo shirt and a pair of white All Star Converse’s. £125 mrporter.com
POLO RALPH LAUREN – CLUBHOUSE COTTON – SEERSUCKER SHORTS, These shorts from Polo Ralph Lauren are perfect for the summer due to their fabric, which is woven with cotton threads that have different tensions, in turn creating a wrinkled texture that allows air to circulate in the heat.
