- Words: Dan Scothern
Each week we present to you some of the best products on the planet. Whether it's Royal Ascot headwear or World Cup whisky, these are the items that you need to shake up your lifestyle for the better...
Brioni - Beige Cashmere Jersey Jardigan
Not quite dressy enough for a full suit, but too brisk for a standalone shirt? A dilemma of the past thanks to Brioni. Based on an original design from the mid-50s, this jacket and cardigan lovechild suavely merges the two wardrobe staples to create the new standard of refined versatility. Deconstructed, unlined and lapel-free, this soft cashmere piece has been designed to keep the best aspects of each garment, with classic jacket cuffs, jet pockets and a horn-button closure completing this sophisticated article.
Thom Sweeney - Linen Cotton Short Sleeve Skipper Polo Shirt
Inspired by mid-century resort wear, the Short Sleeve Skipper from British brand Thom Sweeney is a polished alternative to the time-honoured sporting polo. A welcome addition to a range of ensembles and dress codes, this linen cotton iteration draws on The Talented Mr. Ripley-esque Riviera chic with its buttonless design, broad open collar and neatly ribbed hems.
Audemars Piguet x Swatch - Royal Pop
While we may be wrong to assume that your Instagram 'For You' page has been as awash with AI-generated timepieces as ours over the past fortnight, it's hard to imagine that even the most casual watch enthusiast hasn't caught wind of the latest horological companionship. Launched on Saturday, the Audemars Piguet x Swatch collaboration has already caused quite a stir, and we await the public verdict with bated breath now the Royal Pops are in customer hands.
Funboy - The Paddle Island
In an ideal world, the superyacht (that you also happen to be staying aboard) has a court on the upper deck. But if that space has been annoyingly earmarked for helicopter parking, one must find their padel/pickleball fix elsewhere. Fortunately, the aptly named US brand, Funboy, has sought to solve the issue, and its 14-foot Paddle Island turns any body of water into a court. Built from sturdy drop stitch material, this inflatable kit sets the scene for water-adjacent singles matches, then neatly transforms into a floating social centrepiece once the final set has been played.
A. Lange & Söhne - Cabaret Tourbillon Honeygold
Understated yet authoritative, the latest Cabaret Tourbillon from the artisans at A. Lange & Söhne has been beautifully encased in the manufacture's Honeygold alloy. Limited to just 50 pieces, this creation pairs its striking exclusive case with a black-rhodiumed dial, whose sculpted relief elements are crafted from the same material; a showcase of the brand's evolution and its enduring commitment to craftsmanship.
Nyetimber - English Summer Rosé Limited Edition
Crafted from Nyetimber's three renowned grape varieties (led by the vibrant red fruit notes of Pinot Noir) the English Summer Rosé from the West Sussex-based winemaker is a burst of summer in a glass. Made with a creamy, rounded palate and additional notes of shortbread, freshly baked pastry and sweet spice, this warm-weather tipple (in its stylish, limited-edition bottle) is ideal for sun-soaked afternoons and evening frivolities.
Globe-Trotter - Steamer Home Trunk
From the cruise-liners of yesteryear to the foot of boarding-school beds, the trusty steamer trunk has been an icon of the luggage world for decades. Now, stylishly reimagined for 2026, Globe-Trotter has shared its Steamer Home Trunk Collection to add a travel-inspired aesthetic to the homestead. Designed as both a storage and a statement piece, this made-to-order case has been crafted with the brand's vulcanised fibreboard and brown leather, with its bold marmalade exterior giving way to a calmer, woven cotton countryside scene on the inside.
Master of Malt - A Highland Distillery 12-Year-Old – World Cup Edition
Part of Master of Malt's five-expression collection to commemorate the 2026 World Cup, the Highland Distillery 12-Year-Old has been described as 'humble, proud, complex and approachable,' and a fitting dram that perhaps personifies Scottish people themselves. Sitting alongside another Scottish single malt, an English rye, an English single malt, and a classic Irish whiskey, the renowned spirits retailer has crafted quite the sporting line-up for the tournament, whether you're drinking in celebration or commiseration.
Belstaff x Represent - Race Jacket
A contemporary step away from the iconic Trailmaster Jacket, Belstaff's recent collaboration with Represent pays homage to the high-performance superbike gear of the 1990s. The brand's signature waxed cotton has been traded for perforated leather panels (for ventilation), whilst corrugated sections allow for movement and style versatility. In-keeping with the late 20th century aesthetic, eagle-eyed Belstaff fans will also clock the resurrection of a phoenix logo that was briefly used in the 80s.
Marshall - Milton A.N.C Headphones
Portable and powerful, the new Milton A.N.C. headphones blend the brand's rock and roll heritage with modern performance. Designed with a durable foldable frame, memory foam ear cushions, and adaptive noise cancelling, this over-ear model delivers up to 80 hours of playtime alongside spatial Soundstage audio, Bluetooth 6.0 and refined acoustic tuning that ensures rich, immersive listening. Brass detailing and textured leather ensure the Milton A.N.C are unmistakeably Marshall, completing this stylish but mighty piece of kit.
Aubin - Stamford Chino Short
A tried-and-true classic, chino shorts have been a steady addition to summer ensembles for decades. One of the more comfortable and hardy styles in the short game, there aren't many other casual pairs that one needs, and the Stamford model from Aubin is our enthusiastic recommendation if your collection is in need of a 2026 refresh. Garment-dyed and cut in 100 per cent cotton twill, they're primed and ready for a summer shift.
Swaine - Top Hat - 6 Inch Fur Felt
Whether you're prepping for Royal Ascot in the coming weeks, or getting the jump on a Slash Halloween costume, it's imperative to know which brands are holding the goods when it comes to the best toppers. With a strong equestrian and racing heritage, Swaine frequently springs to mind as experts in the top hat field, implementing traditional techniques and utilising over 135 years of craftsmanship to create elegant chapeaux that stand the test of time.
Philantropica - Philantropica Original
Part luxury beverage, part philanthropic initiative, 'the world's most expensive soft drink,' conceptualised by Philantropica, is a forward-thinking approach to charitable fundraising. Created to help large-scale ocean plastic collection efforts with the strapline 'Nothing tastes as good as doing good,' every unit of the Ocean Bottle-designed tropical drink sold will fund the collection of plastic equivalent to one million single-use bottles, before it ever reaches the ocean. Launched to great fanfare aboard the Alfa Nero superyacht at the Cannes Film Festival this week, ocean cleanup has never been so refreshing.
