The Monocle Shop
We’re diving into summer and you know what that means: hats, towels and seersucker. It can be trickier to convey your sense of style in hotter months, when a T-shirt and shorts often seem like the only options. But fear not: these warm-weather accessories and layering pieces will have you cutting a dash when you hit the beach and can be found at monocle.com/shop.

Plus: an adjustable waistband means that you needn’t hold back on that gelato.

Mühlbauer x Monocle tennis hat
€180
Ditch the dad-style baseball cap and opt for this charming fisherman-style hat instead. Bucket hats, which over the decades have been associated with pensioners, golfers, soldiers and hip-hop stars, have in recent years been embraced by fashionable folk. Our unisex version is by Mühlbauer, a Viennese milliner founded in 1903. Stitched from Japanese cotton, it’s unlined and floppy so can be stashed in your tote and fished out when a trip to the lake, a spot of tennis or any other summertime jaunt beckons.
material:Cotton.
colours:Navy or beige.
made in:Austria.

Monocle Yunomi cups
€65
Yunomi is a style of Japanese teacup that has no handles and is traditionally used for informal, everyday drinking. Our take on this classic design is made in the Japanese city of Seto, which has been a hub for pottery since the 13th century and was home to one of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan. Sculpted from sturdy, durable clay stoneware, they’re stackable and boast a forest-green hue – just a few shades deeper than the matcha, sencha or other green-tinged Japanese brews you might fill them with.
colour:Green.
material: Clay stoneware.
made in:Japan.
