Sole of summer

We’re so ready for the hot season. Because espadrilles. Level Shoes has asked three international labels to reimagine the summer must-have for a capsule collection, and one of them, South Parade, has designed five styles for men.

“When it comes to shoes, the espadrille is an extension of our street wear, and a reflection of what our customer already likes to wear,” say Tania San Miguel and Lorenzo Stefanini, the designers of South Parade. “This shoe completely represents our sophisticated but casual approach. For this collaboration we selected some of our bestselling graphics. Always influenced by pop culture and the current fashion panorama, our designs are fun and playful.”
The collection is now available. Call 800 5383573.

Say it with polo

Did we say summer? New York brand Brooks Brothers has launched its range of colourful polo shirts for the season. Whether you’re all dressed up or in chill-out mode, you can’t go wrong with a nice crisp polo.
These ones start at Dh310 and are in stores now. Call 04-2950159.

Smells like an adventure

Davidoff’s new fragrance, Horizon, is all about freedom and adventure. About balancing earth and sky, say its composers Olivier Pescheux and Jacques Huclier. It’s light and airy and very masculine.
Starts at Dh270 for a 75ml EDT.

Wear jeans, keep cool

Gender benders

Another brand that’s going all casual on us is Salvatore Ferragamo. The brand’s just launched its Off-Duty line, a special sporty footwear collection with a very relaxed vibe. And they’re all unisex! From moccasins to sneakers, nothing says luxurious cool than a casual line from a brand known for its footwear.

Make a splash

The iconic Walkman is still evolving, and this new iteration is something you can even take a bath with! The sturdy Sony WS413 Walman is salt water and dustproof and can withstand temperatures ranging from -5 degrees Celcius to 45 degrees Celcius. There’s even an Ambient Sound mode that allows you to be aware of your surroundings so you don’t have to shut everything out.
An 89GB model is available for Dh329.

Keeping it LA

Reebok Classics has another collaboration in the bag, this time with LA streetwear label Hall of Fame. The capsule collection features tshirts, tennis shorts, polo shirts and reveresable crew sweaters. It’s all very street, very LA.
