Wearing a collar just adds that extra finish – and a polo shirt is a good compromise between a T-shirt and a more formal shirt. If you do want to wear a shirt though and like a check pattern, then choose summer shades. Colours in summer should be light and bright and this shirt by Barbour hits the right notes. The British summer can of course have a hint of chill about it – particularly early and late in the day and you don’t want your enjoyment of a game fair spoilt by the shivers. A fleece gilet is the perfect extra layer. You don’t want to squint in the sun either – so pick up a pair of sunglasses that will do double duty for shooting or shelter a sensitive pate under a smart Panama hat.
A pair of well cut shorts in a classic mustard or chinos (in a classic hue) always flatter the wearer. Oh, and for walking around a game fair you need to make sure your feet are comfortable so you might like to slip into a pair of boat shoes, if you want to be less formal than brogues.
