Ted’s really rolled up his sleeves this season, and here’s one of our latest and greatest for all you dapper gents out there.

This linen blazer, Rollout, is as stylish as it is versatile. Without breaking so much as a sweat, it’ll effortlessly keep you looking cool for the rest of summer. Whilst the darker colour choice makes it just as handsome for autumn.

When the sun’s shining, try it over any of our shorts, and for the majority of the time it’s a great investment piece to freshen up any of your standard smarts.

As part of our ongoing support of Everyman, the nation’s leading male cancer campaign, we’ll be participating in their ‘Turn Blue’ month this June. We’re hoping to raise awareness about testicular cancer and encourage men to check themselves more regularly.

Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men aged 14-44. However, there is a 99% cure rate if it’s caught early enough – so awareness about the early symptoms is vital.

We’ve got pin badges on sale now and what’s more, on Friday 18^th June, our store teams will be turning blue for day and you can join in. Dress in blue for the day, dye your hair blue or bake some blue cakes – whatever you do, make sure it’s blue.

England’s first game is tomorrow and the anticipation is killing us. Here’s to teaching the US the error of their ways in calling the beautiful game ‘soccer’. Come on Engerland!

To celebrate England’s bid for glory, Ted’s arranged for 25 Ted Baker stores and concessions across the UK to have a special World Cup giveaway – namely our pitch invader balls.

Sporting classic 80’s throwback graphics, this silver 80’s throw back is best used wearing classic short shorts – think Robson ‘82. Any shorts will work though.

Getting your hands on one couldn’t be easier, all you need to do is pop into any of the stores or concessions listed below and say when magic words to a member of Ted’s team*.

Now we don’t want to make a song and dance about it, but our dancing ladies print has just arrived online and in store and it’s just the thing for summer – even if this week has been a bit miserable.

Bright, playful and totally unique; it looks particularly striking in this strapless dress. The pleated fitted detail on top, combined with a loose fitting skirt make for a fabulously flattering shape for any summer soiree. It’ll also match any umbrella!

Not quite your style? Don’t you worry; the print also comes in a ruffle top, tunic vest, and a chic silk dress.

Father’s Day is one of the most important days of the year. So you’d think finding a gift for that special man in your life would be easy – apparently not. Even at Tedquarters, we’re struggling.

Well Ted Baker has heard the nation’s plight. We won’t just give the old man a tie, but perhaps a gorgeous pair of cufflinks, a snazzy wallet, or a funky pair of socks.

This year we’ve even got a whole page of our website dedicated to Daddy Cool. Make sure you visit our online shop now to find the perfect present for Sunday 20th June.

No doubt there’ll be plenty of formal occasions this summer where you’ll need some pretty fancy footwear. For all the casual days in between; make sure you get your kicks from our trainers, Soyala.

Available in natural and red, this boot style is perfect for weekends out and about as well as those just spent down the pub, watching the World Cup. Speaking of which, we’ve got a whole collection inspired by the beautiful game and these trainers would go great with Sixtysx in red.

Don’t forget to check out the rest of our summer shoes here.

Desperate for the sun, sea and sangria of Spain? Dubious about getting on a plane after all that volcano business?! Well how about A Taste of Spain?

This Sunday sees the Regent St traffic taking a bit of a siesta, leaving you plenty of room to enjoy a Spanish fiesta. As well as the shopping (don’t forget to pop into Ted), the street will be lined with all the Spanish food, fun and flamenco you could need on a Sunday afternoon.

Have a nice weekend everyone – hopefully the weather will be scorchio!

Every girl is looking for that perfect summer dress. Well come rain or shine, Ortus, is a contemporary, denim style that’ll be a great addition to any girl’s wardrobe.

A versatile little number; this lightweight cotton dress has a flirty shape, capped sleeves and a beautiful bow for added girliness. Wear it with heels for a night out or sandals, Marette, for those lazy summer days.

Like it? Love it? Already bought it? Tell us what you think below.

Even if we do say so ourselves, our shirt dress Acker, is a bit of a cracker. Soon to be a staple in every summer wardrobe, here are three wonderful ways to wear it.

1: A woman’s work is never done, so for the office, team it with a smart blazer. Add an oversized bag like Maggi and some killer heels like Autie to really take care of business.

2: Leggings and a bright cardigan like Borana, complemented with a belt and a more casual bag will work wonders at the weekend.

3: Whilst for an evening out; a simple metallic clutch like Camie with hot-to-trot heels Eavan, and you’re ready to dance the night away.

Three’s the magic number, but what’s your favourite look?

Even in the hottest part of a British summer, it’s still handy to have a jacket nearby. Well the weather might be unpredictable, but you can guarantee your style with our Harrington jacket, Harre.

Versatile, lightweight and with a choice of navy and grey, it really is the perfect investment to see you right through to autumn.

For an extra tip, try it over a bright polo like Nobrain or Hudeeni for a classic look, with a bit of a mod, retro twist.

Going to see an art exhibition. Fancy yourself as a bit of an art critic? Well this exhibition, ‘The Library of Babel’ is for you. Housed in a converted chapel near Chalk Farm, this unique space is full of contemporary art ready for you to discover.

There are no explanatory signs, no audio guides and no essays. Just 217 pieces of work, in every media you can think of and no obvious theme. The interpretation of this exhibition is over to you.

So get yourself some culture this weekend, allow yourself to question what you see and trust your artistic intuition – there’s no wrong answer after all. Not quite sold it? Did we mention it’s free?
