Late summer holidays carry their own rhythm. The beaches are quieter, the evenings cooler, and the light softer—lingering just long enough to savour. Dressing for this moment isn’t about chasing trends, but about curating a sharp, considered wardrobe that transitions from coastal mornings to city nights with ease.

This Hinton Magazine style edit captures that mood: six essentials for those late-summer getaways every man should pack.

The Refined Polo: Thom Sweeney’s Navy Linen Skipper

Thom Sweeney’s linen skipper polo nods to mid-century travel but feels made for today’s modernist. Crafted in Italy, cut with a soft open-neck collar, and blended with just enough stretch, it’s the piece that works poolside with swim shorts or paired with tailored trousers for dinner. Uncomplicated, understated, and unequivocally sharp. Available from Thom Sweeney — thomsweeney.com

The Vest with a Story: The Gilded Cottage Jockey Vest

Inspired by Gustaf Håkansson—the 66-year-old endurance cyclist who became a Swedish icon in 1951—The Gilded Cottage’s Jockey Vest is more than summer layering. Cut from a cotton-viscose blend, it’s lightweight and effortless, carrying with it the quiet edge of heritage design. Wear it solo with shorts for high-heat days or under a shirt when evenings cool. Available from The Gilded Cottage — thegildedcottage.com

The Travel Watch: AVAIL’s Osma White × Classic Tan

Minimalist to its core, AVAIL’s Osma watch strips the idea of timekeeping down to its essentials. A clean white dial framed in slim stainless steel, sapphire glass, and a hand-finished tan leather strap—it’s refined without trying, built to last longer than the summer itself. The watch that feels just as right on a yacht deck as it does in a late-night bar. Available from AVAIL — availwatches.co.uk

The Aviator Reworked: MiOwne’s Legendary Focus Sunglasses

Aviators will always be a staple—but MiOwne’s Legendary Focus clear-lens frames flip the script. Architectural in line, feather-light in feel, they bring a sharper, cooler energy to classic eyewear. Perfect for the man who doesn’t hide behind lenses, but uses them to frame his confidence. Available from MiOwne — miowne.co.uk

The Necklace with Edge: Serge DeNimes’ Silver Stetson

Jewellery for men should be subtle but never timid. Serge DeNimes’ Silver Stetson necklace captures that balance—a sterling silver cowboy hat pendant that carries a sense of rebellion without crossing into excess. It’s a detail piece, the kind that elevates a crisp white tee or finishes an open-collar shirt with intent. Available from Serge DeNimes — sergedenimes.com

The Check Shirt Reinvented: Hackett’s Tattersall Flannel

Even in late summer, evenings call for layers. Hackett’s Tattersall shirt delivers warmth without weight, cut in brushed flannel with a bold check that feels unmistakably British. Tailored for sharpness, finished with a cutaway collar, it’s the kind of shirt that makes sense at a countryside pub or a rooftop terrace as the season edges towards autumn. Available from Hackett — hackett.com

For men, late summer style is about refinement—pieces that work hard without shouting for attention. This is the season’s final act, and these are the must-haves that make it sharp, confident, and timeless.
