Urban beach clubs call for clothing that doesn’t sacrifice elegance. Opt for neatly tailored swimming shorts that can be worn for a stroll round town once you’ve dried off – or to the bar.
Building the dream
Engineering company Arup connects the Sydney Opera House to the proposed Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. The owner-operated firm’s pioneering staff are the go-to team for constructing the seemingly impossible.

Things we've got our eye on this month: Pijama sleeves for sleeping laptops, nice white footwear from Sweden and Mallocran salty treats.
Ebneter & Biel

Everything you need to keep clothes and bedlinen fresh, crisply ironed and looking new.

Royal privilege
Escape Bairro Alto for Príncipe Real, a neighbourhood where shops on Rua Dom Pedro V sell specialist Portuguese products. A park hosts a weekly farmers’ market, and new businesses are always arriving.
