As the weather is warming up and the days are getting longer, it’s about time we started thinking about summer style. If you’re ready to cast away your heavy knits and lace-up boots, then this blog is for you. Regardless of how you plan to spend your summer days, these style tips will have you looking and feeling your best.
Sunglasses
No man can go wrong with a stylish pair of shades, but which ones will make the biggest splash this pool-party season? We all know that cool Ray-Ban sunglasses never go out of style, but this summer you should think about prioritizing aviator and rimless silhouettes from the range. Another trend set to shake up the summer is bold, neon colors. Choose bright frames and even brighter lenses that bring a pop of excitement to any outfit you put together. The final sunglasses trend to pay attention to this year will be retro looks, meaning that double bridges and slim, ‘90s frames will be popular.
Classic T-Shirt
What would summer be without a classic T-shirt? If you’ve been hiding your tees under jumpers for the past few months, you might be in need of a new set. Plain T-shirts should always be a staple in your wardrobe, but consider mixing them up with striped tees and polos too. For days when the weather is a bit cooler, layer your T-shirt with an open button-down shirt made from light fabric such as linen or cotton. Opt for neutral colors or go bold with a summer-themed Hawaiian print.
Versatile Cap
Like sunglasses, a cap serves two functions. First and foremost, it helps to keep the sun out of your eyes, but it can also be a sleek style accessory. It’s best to keep your caps minimal and versatile. This way, you can easily pair the same cap with any outfit you have, regardless of whether you’re going for a casual or slightly more dressed-up look. If you know your outfits are more on the casual side, choose a cap that has a worn-in look for the ultimate, effortlessly rumpled effect.
Sandals and Shoes
This year sandals aren’t the only type of footwear you should be sporting at the beach. While flip-flops will serve your poolside needs, choose preppy boat shoes or rustic espadrilles with an authentic jute sole as an alternative. If you’re looking for sandals that will take you from the beach into the bar, try a pair of Birkenstocks on for size. These are more stylish than flip-flops and can easily be worn on both the street and down by the water. Just try not to get them too wet if they’re made from real leather.
There are no hard and fast dos and don’ts when it comes to men’s summer style – just make sure you tailor your look to what you’re going to be doing.
