Colour co-ordinates It's not difficult to understand why "white parties" became a thing: nothing looks better in the blazing heat. But we're perplexed as to why "yellow parties" haven't caught on. Just imagine a boat party with shades of mustard, lemon and canary. No? Either way, ck Calvin Klein has you covered, with the more orthodox large white nappa leather tote bag (above left; HK$6,990) and, for that yellow party that we both know will happen one day, the lovely dandelion yellow nappa leather tote (above right; HK$3,990). ck Calvin Klein is in Times Square, Causeway Bay, tel: 2526 8808.
King pins If you must wear shorts, then it's probably best to go for something simple and basic to draw the eyes to your shoes or other accessories. The Gap is the king of keeping things simple and once again it has come up trumps with these little numbers. There are lots of colours to choose from but we like the off-white pair (above left; HK$399) and the slightly weathered-looking orange alternative (above right; HK$299). The Gap is in Hysan Place, Causeway Bay, tel: 2907 8368.
Age before beauty The sun has the annoying habit of fading colours on clothing, so why not just pre-empt the process by snapping up some vintage-looking T-shirts that look good new but even better old. We like the faux vintage tees on offer at 7 For All Mankind, particularly the green tee (above left; HK$880) and the lovely blue polo (above right; HK$1,580). 7 For All Mankind is in IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2722 9666.
