To celebrate their shared traditional British heritage, fine menswear label Hackett and iconic gin crate Beefeater 24 have joined forces to create Pillars of Style – a series of style guides advising the modern man on fashion etiquette and outfit suggestions for every area of his life. Including, of course, a superyacht charter to your favourite coastal destination.
Whether you’re heading to the Mediterranean or the Caribbean, time spent on board is the perfect excuse to sport a little nautical style. Head of Product and Development for Hackett Accessories, Jason Dover, recommends getting into the swing of it when it comes to dressing for a day at a regatta or a sailing weekend.
He says: “A nautical stripe jumper is a must for a day out at sea – whether you are meeting harbour side for drinks or manning the mainbrace yourself. Hackett boat shoes are one of our most successful styles of shoes - I actually own around 20 pairs and believe every guy should have a pair of navy and white shoes for the summer. And of course I am passionate about accessories so am pleased that men are taking bags seriously as they really can complete a look. In keeping with a nautical feel, I think a white and blue tote is perfect as a beach bag or a day at sea.
“Cufflinks are my favourite accessory that I work on and produce for the brand, and while they may be too formal for daytime on the boat there’s nothing better than adding a touch of class to an outfit for cocktails as you watch the sun over the yardarm. I love the new gold versions we have created for this Spring and Summer collection.”
