Get the blazer, shirt and all important summer trousers in the right colours to shadow The Last Shadow Puppets’ Messrs Alex Turner and Miles Kane in their new video “Miracle Aligner”. Think pink, creamy white and dreamy powder blue .

Messrs Alex Turner and Miles Kane both know how to nail an outfit: the former has long been a fan of the 1950s, quiffs, braces and all; the latter rose to fame as a modern mod, with a choppy Mr Paul Weller-esque do and slim-cut tailoring. When they come together for nostalgic pop project The Last Shadow Puppets, however, it seems that they step out of their respective sartorial comfort zones, and into pastures unknown. In the press shots for new album Everything You’ve Come To Expect, they channelled the current vogue for all things 1970s and sported shiny, zip-up tracksuits. In the first video from the record, however, they’ve take a different tack – one which we rather like. Against a backdrop of Italianate architecture and a dingy, stuccoed ballroom, the video for “Miracle Aligner” shows Messrs Turner and Kane take on a particularly summery, pastel palette that wouldn’t look a million miles out of place on the streets of Florence during Pitti Uomo (if Pitti Uomo was, one year, given a dress code of “retro lounge singer”). Watch the video below to see how they do it, and if you feel like following in their natty footsteps, scroll down to find out how to make the look work for you.

There’s quite a few brands offering off-white/cream blazers this season, from Italian tailoring experts Caruso to gentlemanly British institution Dunhill. Which begs the question: how and when do you wear them? We would recommend opting for the below at a summer sporting event, such as a polo or tennis match, or any festive and sunny occasion, like a garden (or rooftop party). Match it with a white pocket square for a subtle contrast.

Opting for a pink shirt is a good way to add a little bit of extra dressiness and character to your tailored outfit. Even if, as in the above video, your outfit is already plenty full of dressiness and character. Given that we’re working with a particularly light colour palette here, dark cufflinks will seem a little jarring – choose a pair rendered in silver and creamy mother of pearl instead.

Yes, if you’re going for a look that is overwhelmingly – for want of a better phrase – ice-cream-y in colour, then a pair of powder-blue chinos is the final part of the puzzle. Normally, we’d recommend wearing these with a blazer in a darker shade of blue, but Messrs Turner and Kane have opened our eyes to further, crooner-y possibilities – how about a pair of Gucci loafers, for example?
