Teutonic Mixers
Metzingen may not mean much to many of us, but this small German city is the second most visited place in Germany for Chinese tourists after Berlin. Why? Well the local beer is good but one imagines the huge Hugo Boss outlet store has something to do with it. Alas, if you can't make it to Metzingen then we recommend you pick up one of these summer looks here in good old Hong Kong. First up is this neat and tidy tailored look of light blue suit (HK$9,400), white shirt (HK$1,800), blue checker tie (HK$2,300), brown belt (HK$1,250) and brown shoes (HK$3,950). If you're feeling a bit more adventurous then look no further than this look of pastel green jacket (HK$9,500), white shirt (HK$2,100) green check tie (HK$1,200), pocket square (HK$300), grey trousers (HK$2,700), brown leather belt (HK$1,250) brown leather shoes (HK$5,500) and black leather tote bag (HK$12,400).

Menin pink
The story behind Eden Park's pink bow tie logo is almost too good to be true. Established by former French rugby player Franck Mesnel, the pink bow tie is a reference to his time playing for Racing Club de Paris, also known as "Le Showbizz", who used to take to the field against burly, moustachioed teams from the south of the country wearing pink bow ties and fancy dress - and, just to rub it in, drink champagne at half time. That sense of joie de vivre permeates Eden Park's clothing and we love the big badged button down shirt (HK$1,550) and, in particular, the loud and proud striped pink rugby polo (HK$1,280).
