Ralph Lauren Purple Label is reneging on the signature sport of its father brand (Polo, anyone?) in favour of something a little more nautical this season. Look closely at the brightly colour-blocked front of this fitted shirt, and you’ll start to pick out the sales and sterns of racing boats speeding across the chest – the stripes trimming the hem make a pretty convincing sea, too. Cut from a silk and cotton blend, button it over tailoring chinos.
