Colour is the first thing people notice about an outfit - long before they clock the cut of your trousers or the texture of your jacket. So it's worth paying attention to what's actually working this season.

Summer 2026 marks a shift away from the brighter tones that have dominated recent years, back towards something more grounded. Olive, to***co and chocolate bring warmth without heaviness. Butter yellow and sage offer a softer way to introduce colour. Ecru does what white can't - flattering nearly every skin tone while showcasing the texture of linen, cotton and denim. And cobalt blue proves not every summer shade has to whisper.
Staples like navy and forest green haven't gone anywhere - they've just picked up some interesting company.

We've broken down all seven colours, including which skin tones and fabrics suit each one best, over on Ape.

From fresh neutrals to statement shades, these are the men's colour trends set to dominate summer 2026.

Padel is to modern London what squash was to the 1980s City: the sport everyone's boss suddenly plays, minus the shoebox court and the aggression. It's the fastest-growing sport in the world, the UK now has over 1,000 courts, and even Andy Murray has defected.

The trouble is that not all courts are created equal. Some are windswept cages behind a leisure centre. Others come with a sauna, a cold plunge and a negroni waiting at the net.

So we've rounded up the most stylish places to play in the capital - House of Racquet's King's Cross clubhouse, Rocket Padel's glass building overlooking the Thames at Battersea, Racketeer's 90,000 sq ft in Park Royal, Padel Box's converted Victorian warehouse in Bermondsey, and Park Sports' open-air courts in Hyde Park and Regent's Park.

Start at House of Racquet if you want the full clubhouse experience, Stratford if you want value, Park Sports if you want fresh air. Then buy your own racquet - you'll be back within the week.

Padel is London's new obsession, and the capital's clubs have risen to the occasion. From House of Racquet's King's Cross clubhouse to riverside courts at Battersea, this is Ape's edit of the most stylish padel clubs and courts in London.

Warm weather is the great editor of a wardrobe. What survives it is rarely the most expensive thing, but the most considered - linen that creases well, tailoring cut soft enough that you forget you're wearing it, leather that only improves in the sun.

We've pulled together the designer houses that genuinely understand summer, rather than simply photographing it well. Zegna and Brioni for Italian ease with the starch taken out. Brunello Cucinelli for the art of the unhurried blazer. Loewe and Dries Van Noten for colour, texture and a bit of mischief. The Row for restraint as its own kind of luxury. Saint Laurent and Tom Ford for the hours after the light goes.

A partnership with Mytheresa Men

From Italian tailoring to statement holiday style, these are the men’s designer brands worth wearing this summer.

Not all swim shorts are created equal. The best ones are cut like tailored shorts, made from premium quick-drying fabrics, and versatile enough to carry you from breakfast to sunset drinks without missing a beat. In our latest guide, we look at the brands doing it properly - Orlebar Brown's tailored precision (the original benchmark, long before it became fashionable to look sharp poolside), Vilebrequin's vibrant Riviera heritage from Saint-Tropez, and Ripa Ripa's understated Mediterranean cool, favouring navy, olive and terracotta over anything too showy. Read the full breakdown of the luxury swimwear brands worth your money on Ape.

Discover the best luxury swimwear brands for men, from Orlebar Brown and Vilebrequin to Brunello Cucinelli, CDLP and more.
