Looks from Margaret Howell's most recent collection. The mix of blues is quite beautiful and something I'd be happy to see every summer.

This collection is amazing! Can I also ask who makes those black women's sandals?

[Captain Carpet]

Margaret Howell...? ! ?

[Rob]

The sandals are Margaret Howell. Unfortunately, not all of the pieces in her collections are available on the Margaret Howell online shop. Also, some stuff only gets produced for the Japanese market, where she does the majority of her business. You can find the sandals here though http://zozo.jp/shop/margarethowell/goods.html?gid=882827&did=&cid=8537

Is it just me or does all of MH's menswear look badly cut and ill fitting..??

[Nicolas]

It's you GF, but I'm sure you're not alone. The cut is fuller than what is currently in fashion, but I wouldn't say ill-fitting. In the summer it's better to have a looser fit.

[Brian Braddock]

It all looks a bit safe and MOR to me.

Rolled up trouser legs and nautical stripes, who'd have thought?

[Dillon]

Those flip-flops look good, any idea where I can find them?

[Timmy Timson]

Trousers are always on the baggy side and most stuff fits large. Small is approximately medium but sometimes bigger.

[Chris]

Howell has been making classy basics for years and years. Very simple, very subtly well-designed and quietly expensive pieces you wear year after year. Not the place to go for BoO fits or Daiki-style ostentation.

[Tim]

it's aiight.

[Tim]

also.. who wears shoes on the beach? not this guy.

[Headless Hawk]

The beach aesthetic is so hot right now.

But seriously, those whining about what Margaret Howell is or isn't would do well to note that she's been doing it since forever, long before (and probably long after) this current torrent of internet-based menswear enthusiasm, and probably knows exactly what she's doing.

[Brian Braddock]

Who wears flip flops in general? Certainly no self respecting English man.

[My Affair with Michael Bastian]

Nice!

[Theo]

Well, Brian Braddock, you've obviously never seen an English Man on holidays, because over here in the antipodes they and their thongs (flip flops to you) are a dime a dosen, a penny a posse, a cent a something you get the picture
