Brunello Cucinelli Shawl-Collar Tuxedo
To upgrade your evening attire, this navy Brunello Cucinello dinner suit should suffice. Crafted from pure cashmere in the brand's Solomeo workrooms, it features satin black silk facings and a wonderfully soft, contemporary fit to ensure you stand out for the right reasons.
£4,090 from mrporter.com

Brunello Cucinelli Denim Tuxedo Shirt
To top off your black tie attire, Mr Cucinelli produces an equally rakish denim evening shirt complete with a pleated bib-front and double cuffs. Its washed denim fabric offers a unique twist on a simple white dinner shirt, proving that one can look equally dapper when subtly breaking the rules.
£450 from mrporter.com

Panerai 1940 3 Days Acciaio
Running with the Italian theme is this special edition Panerai Radiomir. Unveiled at this year's SIHH, the Acciaio is a recreation of Panerai's Egiziano Piccolo watch, originally produced for the Egyptian Navy in 1954 and one of the rarest of all Panerais. It features a distinctive brown dial, created to mimic that of the original as well as Panerai's signature luminescent numerals and hour markers.

Folk Navy Piano Shirt
The Cuban collar of this textured navy shirt really sets it apart. Evoking louche evenings by the pool in 1980s Miami, it's designed to be worn open either as an outer layer when the weather warms up, or under a sleek blazer for a casually attired summer look.
£105 from folkclothing.com

Sanders for Jigsaw Oxford Shoes
Featuring a chunky rubber sole, a storm welt and country grain leather, these oxfords inject a modern twist on the traditionally dressy style. Made by Sanders in Northampton, they offer an edgier finish to a tailored ensemble yet would work equally well under black selvedge denim.
£229 from jigsaw-online.com

AMI Denim Jacket
AMI has long been a favourite of the style conscious Parisian, yet the opening of the brand's first London store in Duke Street later this year marks them out as a force to be reckoned with in the UK. This denim jacket embodies what the brand is about; simple, clean design that's both versatile and built to last.
€230 from amiparis.fr

McLaren 570GT
The Geneva Motor Show began last week meaning a host of new unveils by the world's premier car manufacturers. There are none finer the McLaren's new 570GT, 'the most luxurious and refined of any McLaren to date'. It's also the most accessible McLaren, offering potential owners the real possibility to drive it every day, yet its 562bhp 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 ensures it's more exciting than virtually anything on the road.

Ferrari 488 Spider
The convertible version of Ferrari's new signature mid-engined supercar has now been revealed, and it's fairly spectacular. Its 660bhp turbocharged V8 makes it the most powerful convertible the marque has ever produced, and its drop-top will ensure an aural masterpiece can be accessed with every push of the right pedal.

Make it rain.
