Boys Corner

A check shirt should be a wardrobe staple for any man, and this short-sleeved dark number will mean you're less Lumberjack and more laidback cool. £26 from Topman.

Pick of the Day

Silk Wrap Playsuit

This Oasis polkadot silk playsuit is ideal for city chic. The wraparound waist slims the figure, and polkadots add a splash of fun to quite a smart outfit. Try with a blazer over the top and some cute ankle boots. Buy it now from Oasis for £55!

Boys Corner

Green and Tipped Collar Polo

Back by popular demand! I have been requested many times since the start of my blog to add a bit of male flavour to the mix. So, here is the first of many "Boys Corners". In keeping with the Polo theme of today, I thought I'd go with the iconic Polo shirt. Now, guys, no figure-hugging in these Tees please - you don't want to look like a foppish teenager (unless, of course, that's the aim). Keep it loose, and add a preppier look by turning up the collar. This bottle green Polo is £14 from Topman.

Keep it Cropped

Khaki Linen Scoop Pocket Crop

Another top-spot from the Polo today was the abundance of khaki! This is no bad thing - these elite fashionistas knew what they were doing. Worn cropped with white and tan, they channeled the jungle theme whilst keeping it Polo-friendly. Try this pair from Wallis for £23. Ideal for stamping down those divots!

Denim Rules O.K.

Mid Denim Trucker Jacket

So you've seen denim shorts, skirts and shirts. You know how to put it together, and how to make an outfit work with denim. So now for the next step. Pop down to Miss Selfridge and get yourself this little jacket for £45. Throw on over a rock'n'roll Tee, use it to hit the denim-on-denim trend, or simply throw over a summer dress for chilly evenings. Always go for faded denim jackets in the style of Top Gun, or you risk looking like you've stepped out of the 90s. And not in a good way.

Pick of the Day

Watercolour Silk Scarf

Inspired by the very glamorous ladies at the Polo match today, my pick is this Topshop silk scarf, £22. To stay chic, wear it loose around your neck, or secure in place with a single knot. Go with bright shades, and keep it as vintage-inspired as you can. The blue in this scarf is perfect, a splash of colour.

Pick of the Day

Roll Up Twill Shorts

I really love this simple khaki shorts, £18 from New Look. Wear with a plain white Tee and the animal print sandals from "Jungle Power"! Strictly for bare legs though - tights don't go with the jungle theme I'm afraid.
