Summer is all about making a splash. As if to prove the point, Louis Vuitton has launched a killer pair of statement sneakers, put forth with the power of K-Pop idol j-hope.
That said, flamingo-coloured kicks aren’t the only way to make your fit pop. We’ve scoured the shelves of the best men’s fashion retailers to find a few of the most stylish statement pieces to buy this summer. From slick silk ties to sharp coats and shiny rings, here are some of our favourite accessories and apparel for men.
Outclass Bloom Cotton-Linen Havana Shirt

A breezy balance of cotton and linen makes this button-down an ideal shirt for the summer. With a casual camp collar and a print as soft as a watercolour painting, it’s both bold and easy to wear.
Louis Vuitton x j-hope Buttersoft Sneaker
Learn More
Born from an elite partnership between Louis Vuitton’s Pharrell Williams and BTS’ j-hope, this exclusive iteration of the LV Buttersoft Sneaker comes in a soft pink shade; it’s equally soothing and striking. Crafted from hairy suede calf leather and steeped in personality (unique features include a signature phrase on each shoelace, as well as a squirrel and acorn embossed on the back), these shoes are undeniable.
Ralph Lauren Sweater

Late spring temps always bring the chaos. And, while there isn’t a magic bullet for volatile weather, lightweight cotton-linen blends like these have never failed us. On this particular intarsia-knit sweater, Ralph Lauren’s signature teddy bear dons a stylish chambray shirt and jeans spun from real cotton fabric. Meanwhile, the silhouette stays in shape thanks to quality ribbing on the collar and cuffs.
Studio Rybko Goog Eternity Ring
Learn More
Made-to-order in Montréal, Studio Rybko’s Goog Eternity Ring comes with choices. Each ring is carved from 14k gold (choose yellow or white), and subsequently adorned with a ceramic-based enamel, applied to each ‘egg’ by hand.
Canali Herringbone Silk Tie
Learn More
Often, statements are seen. Other times, a statement piece is something you can feel. Covered in a refined herringbone pattern and crafted from 100% silk, this dashing blue tie from Canali manages to be both.
Burberry Extra-Short Tropical Gabardine Kensington Trench Coat
Learn More
A trench coat is perhaps an unlikely pick for summer shopping; that’s no reason to cast doubt on Burberry, however. The Extra-Short Kensington Trench Coat is spun from a shower-resistant tropical gabardine, specially-developed for warm climates. The lightest of Burberry’s signature fabrics, this double-breasted coat is sophisticated, yet never heavy — a perfect combination for the summer rain.
