How to get the right Summer Look.
Summer and fashion don’t always go hand in hand for men. Looking good comes easy when the temperatures drop. You can let your inner lumberjack shine, and chances are you’ll look fine. But Summer… that’s a different monster. Off the top of the head, you probably associate Summer styles with the preppy look: pink shorts, polos, Topsiders. And while they definitely have the spirit of comfort down, preppy does not have a monopoly on warm looks. Whether you want edgy, athletic, rugged, or anything in between, this is the Summer to step it up and make it happen
The Shorts
The preppy style has enjoyed a high fashion renaissance in past years, which means chino shorts have taken a bold turn
A pair of athletic shorts- be it mesh or sweat, is an easy option when the situation is casual
The third option is a little more controversial: Denim Shorts.
The Shirts
Summer shirts can be a dangerous game. It’s hot. Keep it light.
As for polos, they work well with chino shorts, but you will be encroaching on preppy, which is not a bad thing. If that style is out for you, play it down with neutral colors, a tailored fit, and a pair of jeans.
For button ups, keep the heat in mind. Go for a light weight linen for long sleeves.
The Pants
Discussing pants in a summer fashion article might seem silly. Once it hits about 80 degrees, shorts are acceptable (and expected) in almost every situation. But you may find yourself slipping on some jeans
The Shoes
You have a lot of options in terms of footwear. Summer shoes like vans or boat shoes can go with just about anything. Keep your Vans’ colors subtle this season. White is always appropriate, while still giving a bit of a pop
My Favorite: White Leather Sneakers are a winner for this summer. Versatile enough to work with any summer outfit.
