Summer totes: only for lighthearted blokes

Items: left, Deer Dana, centre, both Topman, right Acne

There's something very liberating about the tote bag for guys. Clearly 'recreational' in outlook - its very simplicity makes it clear that you're not lugging a laptop and however boho your leatherware is, there's nothing quite so carefree as a simple cotton tote. We've been there with slogans and brand names in the last couple of years, both as intentional shout-outs and as the sought-after-though-indirectly-fashionable (hello Daunt Books bag carriers).

The most refreshing option for your cotton tote bag then is something purely graphic: Topman have great, cheap options available in abstract diamond or mesh patterns. Acne has a gorgeous still life print. Though my favourite remains Deer Dana who make up totes in any of their hand-drawn T-shirt designs - the most well-known of which being the Agyness Deyn print, as worn by, ahem Agyness Deyn. So now the only thing left to do is to check what's needed for the park/beach/lunch date: Kiehls SPF moisturiser, Penguin Classic, chunky headphones and moleskin notepad. Go be carefree.
