Sun dappling through the trees, swallows dipping and diving over the water, a gentle breeze playing on your skin as you see droplets trickling down your ice-cold beer. There is not much that beats the feeling of being on holiday. Well, perhaps a close second is looking fresh af while doing it.

Maybe it’s time to turn up the (sun-) dial, and make a statement with your summer vacay fits. 

Mr Porter has a penchant for all things elevated - and just a little bit extra. Have a look at this run through of unexpected summer faves that will bring your closet out on the open seas, kind of like Rose clinging to closet debris on the ocean (hot take, but we still think it was big enough to fit Jack).

The aesthetic of the olds is making a comeback and with this piece from The Elder Statesman, the stylistic slant isn't in question. That generation got one thing right: you can’t go wrong with a sweater vest. Especially one as fun as this one - complete with exaggerated stitching, a bright and bold tie-dye and luxurious cashmere finish. Peacock around in bright tones and add a splash of color to your splash in the pool.

You’re a dime, and it may be a bit on the money to have it written across your forehead, sure. But you’d definitely be making a statement with this one. A rust orange colorway is not only hot right now, but lends the piece an effortlessness that will elevate any vacay look.

How Rhude! These bright red sneaks have a cute applique logo across the back, and wrap-around shoelaces for an edgy take on a classic shoe-form.
