As far as high-street labels go, this summer I have to say I have been very impressed with the selection at H&M. From linen-blend joggers to puff-sleeve dresses, the brand has created an elevated offering of polished, expensive-looking pieces that seem much more high-end than their very reasonable price tags.

Last year was “the worst year of my life,” he admits. And this year, well, it’s bad for everyone.
