Sunny days and and afternoon laze is the perfect backdrop for summer pastels. Soft lilacs and gentle greys are a warm weather menswear essential.

This work jacket from The Good Neighbour, in a light corduroy, is a perfect transitional piece. Teamed with shorts, like here, or trousers for cooler days, the colour adds a touch of originality, even if your head is so big your bucket hat looks like a Fez!
