Want to add colour and pattern to your summer wardrobe? You need a striped shirt. Buttoned up or left open with a plain white t-shirt underneath, the right one will do exactly that without looking OTT. Opt for red or pink tones, or stick with classic blue – just pair with neutral shorts for a cool, easy warm-weather look.

There will probably never be a better time to organise your wardrobe. From messy sock drawers to old jumpers, a full clear-out might look daunting, but don’t sweat it – this will help.

From Veja sneakers to classic Tods loafers, sporty hoodies to linen tees, there's something for everyone in the Mr Porter sale.
