Shorts, ties and everyday basics.

Cargo shorts live or die on the pockets. A side pocket that sits too low swings and catches when you walk; one set high enough to reach sitting down is the difference between useful and decorative. Check the stated length as well — knee-length and mid-thigh are both sold as “casual shorts” and they are not remotely the same garment.

Supplier sizing runs small and is not UK sizing. Where a measurement chart is given, compare it against a pair you already own and like rather than trusting the letter on the label, and size up if you are between two.

A skinny tie at 6cm suits a narrow lapel; a wider lapel wants a wider tie, or the proportions fight each other. Knitted-look cotton dresses down more easily than silk, which is usually the point of owning one.
