Men’s summer style!

Summer is now on the horizon and so life is only looking up from here! Warm weather means we are able to spend time outdoors with the ones we love and enjoy our time in the sun, especially at the beach, summer parties and summer holidays.

We have no doubt that you’re looking forward to beautiful sunny days, but maybe you’re a little unsure about what to wear? You want to dress comfortably this summer and yet still look great! And perhaps some of your clothing may not fit anymore due to a long and cold winter!

Well, it sounds to us like it’s time to refresh your wardrobe with bright colours and lighter fabrics! Dressing for the warmer season does not have to be difficult – in fact, it can be fun! Here are three tips to prevent you from sweating those summer days away.

1. Make life easy and upgrade those shorts you no longer love with a fresh, brighter linen pair. Linen shorts allow for air flow when it’s hot outside, are really comfortable (in the right fit) and come in a lot of different styles. Pair with a t-shirt, or a singlet if you feel more comfortable. Keep it to a cooler tone and finish the outfit with thongs or canvas shoes. It’s the champion outfit for summer!

 

2. You might think a shirt with a collar and a button-front feels formal but it can easily be styled as a relaxed fit. With so many fun prints and bold colours, you can smartly delve into the laid-back zone. Pair with a crisp white t-shirt underneath, un-button your collared shirt and you’ve now gone from formal, to casual, and yet you’re still looking sharp.

 

3. Keep it simple with a pair of minimal canvas shoes. White or tanned are the way to go in summer, as they can easily pair with any outfit and still look stylish. Whether you’re heading outdoors to catch up with mates, or you’re dressing up for a wedding, canvas shoes are the way to go.
