Diary NAME :

Pelayo Diaz .............................................

To get you ready for holiday season, we’ve enlisted some of the most welltravelled guys we know to share their favourite summer destinations

BLOG:

KATELOVESME. N ET .............................................

WHAT TO DO IN VENICE: There’s so much to see and do in the island city. You can sail down the narrow canals in the well-crafted gondolas or stroll

CITY:

VENICE .............................................

through Piazza San Marco. Plus the ice cream is definitely worth trying out, some of the best in the world!

TELL US ABOUT YOUR STAY: I had an awesome view of the Grand Canal from my hotel which made THE SUNSET OVER THE GRAND CANAL IS NOT TO BE MISSED

the trip that much better. It was an unforgettable experience.

MY CITY STYLE: A polo shirt and some smart trousers were perfect for when I was going for long walks, whilst a blue tailored suit worn with a white tee and trainers was great for the cooler evenings.

NAME :

Ronan Summers .............................................

THE BEST THINGS TO DO IN ROME: When in Rome, the best thing to do is to immerse yourself in the culture!

Everywhere you walk will have a famous monument,

BLOG :

an old villa or an iconic fountain - it’s like being in a museum outside 24/7! During the summer months,

THE WILD SWANS .............................................

enjoy an evening stroll alongside the River Tiber, find the Trevi Fountain and trade a coin for a wish. Then

DESTINATION :

head towards Piazza di Spagna (the Spanish Steps), with a gelato in your hand, and sit by the steps that

.............................................

ROME

lead to the splendid Terrazza del Pincio. From there, you will be able to enjoy the most romantic view in Rome. Life can’t get better than that!

LOCAL FOODS TO TRY OUT: Rome, like any other Italian city, has its own regional food and anything you FIND A GREAT VANTAGE POINT TO TAKE IN THE SIGHTS LIKE TERRAZZA DEL PINCIO

order will be delicious! A local dish that made it to the UK is Spaghetti alla Carbonara. I also recommend Suppli, which are little deep fried snacks made of rice, covered in tomato sauce, and Bucatini all’amatriciana, another type of pasta similar to Carbonara but tomatobased.

PREFERRED STYLE WHEN IN ROME: I like to keep things classic and Italians are well known for their polished style. When in Italy, I love wearing a classic tailored suit, particularly a double-breasted jacket with a colourful pocket square to add that Italian flair to my outfit.

WHAT TO DO IN LONDON: With endless key destinations here in the capital, summer ’s the perfect time for a staycation. Festivals such as Lovebox, SW4 and Wireless are all on our hit list - if bands and buzzing atmosphere is your thing you won’t want to miss these.

Film buffs can

enjoy some of London’s best views; rooftop cinemas are popping up all over the city so keep your eyes peeled.

WHERE TO EAT: Summer in the city calls for street food, and with so many cuisines on offer there really is something for everyone. Portobello Market

but

if East London’s more your thing, Dalston has a vibrant food scene worth checking out.

LONDON STYLE: Less can be more

during the summer season. A plain tee with skinny jeans rolled up to the ankles is always a winning look;

don’t forget your sunnies and a pair of crisp, white trainers.

Giles’ Top Picks “A classic blazer doesn’t always need to be worn with a suit - it can be broken down to give it a sartorial summer feel. Paired with skinny, white jeans and a pair of suede monk strap shoes, this outfit will take you out of the office and onto the riviera.

If you’re looking for a fresh take on summer styling for any occasion, book your free appointment at the Style Studio today and come in for a chat.”
