If you’re reading this, you made it through the first real heatwave of 2021—congrats. Now’s a good time to plan for the next one by picking up ultra-light Neapolitan tailoring from Sacco, a classier take on the tank top courtesy of Todd Snyder and upcycled swim trunks with an artistic bent via Sunspel. Of course, staying inside with the AC is an attractive option too, in which case you’ll be well-served by a piped Prada robe and the latest, Peanuts-inspired velvet slippers from Stubbs & Wootton. All this and much more, below.
