Summer's Best Dressed: A Curated Edit of LOEWE at MR PORTER and Maui Jim's Sun-Ready Icons

There is a particular kind of pleasure in dressing for warm weather done right. It is the feeling of fabric that breathes, of shoes built for sand and stone, of sunglasses that make the ocean look bluer than you remembered. This season, two names are leading that conversation from opposite ends of the luxury spectrum, and together they form the perfect warm-weather wardrobe. On one side sits MR PORTER, the global authority on men's luxury fashion, currently celebrating its 15th year and offering the coveted LOEWE x Paula's Ibiza capsule. On the other sits Maui Jim, the Hawaiian-born sunglasses house whose lenses have quietly become the gold standard for anyone who takes the sun seriously. What follows is a closer look at the standout pieces, why they matter, and how to wear them.

The LOEWE x Paula's Ibiza Capsule: Mediterranean Ease, Spanish Soul

If you have been paying attention to menswear over the past few seasons, you already know that LOEWE has become one of the most quietly influential houses in the industry. Its collaboration with Paula's Ibiza, the legendary island boutique founded in the 1970s, has grown into a recurring summer ritual that fashion editors look forward to every single year. The collection celebrates a particular kind of bohemian luxury, the sort of effortless polish you might find on someone wandering the white-washed streets of the Balearics with absolutely nowhere urgent to be.

The latest drop, available now on MR PORTER, leans into a lightweight sensibility and elevated everyday essentials. Three pieces in particular deserve your attention.

The Anagram-Embroidered Lyocell-Poplin Shirt

First up is the LOEWE + Paula's Ibiza Anagram-Embroidered Lyocell-Poplin Shirt, priced at $990 and shown here in a clean, summery Ivory. This is the kind of shirt that does the heavy lifting in a warm-weather wardrobe. It is cut from a fluid Lyocell-poplin weave that softly frames the shoulders rather than clinging to them, which means it drapes beautifully whether you are standing at a rooftop bar or sitting through a long lunch by the water. The detail that elevates it from a simple white shirt to a genuine design piece is the Anagram-embroidered chest pocket, a subtle signature that signals the house without shouting it.

Available in sizes EU 38 through EU 43, it is the definition of a quiet flex. Pair it open over a plain tee for a relaxed daytime look, or button it up with tailored trousers when the evening calls for something sharper. Lyocell, for those unfamiliar, is a fabric prized for its softness, breathability, and gentle environmental footprint, which makes this shirt as comfortable as it is conscientious.

The Straight-Leg Denim Cargo Shorts

Next, the LOEWE + Paula's Ibiza Straight-Leg Denim Cargo Shorts, also priced at $990 and offered in a sun-faded Blue. Cargo shorts have made a serious comeback in recent seasons, and LOEWE's take is arguably the most refined version on the market right now. These are cut from soft denim in a straight-leg, cargo-style silhouette that strikes a deliberate balance between comfort and utility. The roomy proportions and generous pockets nod to workwear, but the premium finish and the house's profound Spanish heritage keep them firmly in luxury territory.

What makes these work so well is their versatility. The relaxed cut pairs naturally with the gingham short-sleeve shirt seen in the lookbook, but they would look just as good with a fine-knit polo or a simple white T-shirt. Available in sizes IT 44 through IT 56, they are part of the latest limited collection, which means once they sell through, they are gone. For anyone building a considered summer rotation, these are the kind of statement-casual piece that earns its keep.

The Rio Raffia-Trimmed Suede Loafers

Finally, the pièce de résistance, the LOEWE + Paula's Ibiza Rio Raffia-Trimmed Suede Loafers, again at $990 and available in both a rich Brown and a lighter tan. These are not your stiff, formal loafers. LOEWE has reimagined the classic loafer through the carefree lens of Paula's Ibiza with what it calls the 'Rio' style. Crafted from buttery suede and finished with woven raffia trims around the sole, they combine genuine artisanal texture with relaxed elegance. The result is a shoe that captures the entire collection's warm-weather spirit in a single object.

Offered in sizes EU 40 through EU 46, the Rio loafer is the rare shoe that works barefoot on a terrace and equally well with cropped trousers in the city. The raffia detail gives them a handcrafted, almost beachy quality that mass-produced footwear simply cannot replicate. This is slow luxury, the kind of piece you keep for years.

Why Shop the Capsule at MR PORTER

There is a reason discerning shoppers turn to MR PORTER for collections like this. The retailer carries over 500 of the world's best brands, from TOM FORD and Brunello Cucinelli to The Row, CELINE, Gucci, and its own respected in-house label, Mr P. New arrivals land three times a week, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, which keeps the edit fresh and ahead of the curve.

Beyond selection, the service is genuinely excellent. MR PORTER offers express worldwide shipping to more than 170 countries, a generous 28-day return and exchange policy, detailed product descriptions, built-in fit guides, and round-the-clock live chat support. There is also a Rewards program for loyal shoppers and an editorial magazine, The Journal, packed with style advice and interviews. As an added incentive, the site is currently running a Flash Sale offering an extra 15% off with the code FLASH15, so there has rarely been a better moment to invest in a piece you have had your eye on. Do note that, with the 15th-anniversary momentum driving high demand, some delivery times may run slightly longer than usual, which is all the more reason to order early.

Maui Jim: The Sunglasses That Change How You See the World

A great outfit deserves great eyewear, and few brands command the loyalty that Maui Jim does. Born on the beaches of Hawaii, the brand built its reputation on a single, genuinely game-changing innovation: its patented PolarizedPlus2 lens technology. The promise is bold but well earned. Maui Jim sunglasses, the company likes to say, will not change the world, they will change the way you see it.

So what actually makes PolarizedPlus2 different? In short, these lenses eliminate glare, block 100% of harmful UV rays, and manage high-energy visible light (HEV), all while delivering industry-leading contrast. Where ordinary grey lenses flatten light evenly and dull your surroundings, Maui Jim lenses reveal hidden detail and bring out vivid, lifelike color. Lens treatments applied to the front and back of every pair also repel grease and water while increasing scratch resistance and durability, so they hold up whether you are reeling in a catch offshore or driving with the top down.

The brand currently has fresh momentum heading into the new season, with new styles added for 2026 and an exciting early-access launch of the new Ho'okipa Ultra Photochromic. Here are three standout pairs worth knowing.

Lighthouse: Featherweight Rimless Clarity

The Lighthouse, priced at $199.00 (or roughly $49.75 per month for four months), is a rimless beauty that has earned a loyal following, with 491 reviews and a stellar rating to match. Shown here in a sleek Shiny Black frame paired with the brand's iconic Blue Hawaii lens, this is the pair that turns the sky and sea into something almost cinematic. The Blue Hawaii lens is a Maui Jim signature, designed to deliver that famous color-popping clarity that makes blues and greens leap to life.

As a polarized rimless design, the Lighthouse is impressively lightweight and barely-there on the face, which makes it ideal for long days outdoors when comfort matters as much as style. It is named, fittingly, for one of Hawaii's first and still-working lighthouses, a nice touch for a brand so rooted in its island origins. The Lighthouse is also available in a small range of frame and lens color combinations, so you can dial in the look that suits you. Kanaio Coast: Built for Adventure

For those who want a sportier, more substantial frame, the Kanaio Coast is the answer at $289.00 (or about $72.25 per month for four months). With 366 reviews behind it, this wrap-style frame is engineered for active lifestyles. The version pictured comes in a striking Matte Soft Black with White and Blue frame fitted with a versatile Neutral Grey lens, which is the ideal all-rounder for bright, variable conditions.

What sets the Kanaio Coast apart is its thoughtful build for movement. The wrap silhouette hugs the face securely, making it a natural choice for fishing, hiking, water sports, or simply a long day of exploring. It also offers a genuinely useful feature for many wearers: built-in magnification options including 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 readers, alongside a standard No Readers version. For anyone who needs reading help on the go, this is a clever, convenient touch. Prescription lenses are also available, and Maui Jim can point you to the nearest optical store to get fitted.

Sugar Beach: Effortless Everyday Polish

Rounding out the trio is the Sugar Beach, another rimless favorite priced at $199.00 (or $49.75 per month for four months) and backed by 229 reviews. Pictured in a refined Gloss Black frame with a classic Neutral Grey lens, the Sugar Beach is the easy, do-everything pair. Its understated rimless construction keeps things light and elegant, while the neutral lens works seamlessly from full sun to overcast skies.

This is the pair you reach for without thinking, the one that slips into a shirt pocket and pairs with everything from swim shorts to a tailored blazer. Like all Maui Jim styles, it carries the full PolarizedPlus2 benefits, so the everyday polish never comes at the expense of performance.

Try Before You Buy, and Buy with Confidence

Maui Jim makes the shopping experience as smooth as the views through its lenses. The website features a handy virtual Try On tool so you can see how each frame suits your face before committing. Even better, the brand offers free shipping and free returns, which removes any hesitation from ordering online. You can also customize your sunglasses, find a nearby retailer, and explore options for corporate gifts.

The Perfect Pairing

What makes these two collections so compelling together is how naturally they complement one another. The LOEWE x Paula's Ibiza capsule delivers the relaxed, sun-soaked elegance of a Mediterranean summer, all soft fabrics, artisanal textures, and considered details. Maui Jim supplies the finishing touch, the eyewear that protects your eyes while making every coastal view, poolside afternoon, and golden-hour stroll look richer and more vivid.

Picture it. The Ivory Anagram shirt worn loose over the straight-leg denim cargo shorts, the Rio raffia loafers on bare feet, and a pair of Blue Hawaii Lighthouse sunglasses catching the light. That is not just an outfit, that is a whole mood, and it is entirely within reach.

Summer rewards those who plan ahead. With MR PORTER's extra 15% off via code FLASH15 and Maui Jim's free shipping and returns, the moment to build your warm-weather wardrobe is right now. Invest in pieces that earn their place season after season, and step into the sun looking, and seeing, your absolute best.
