Summer wardrobe essentials

If you want to make the most of the summer its worth making sure you have your wardrobe essentials as we have had a full week of sunshine, for many men the heat can be a bit of a problem with many worrying about what to wear. So it’s time to put your stifling jeans away for now and look at some other options for men’s clothing.

Now with them away its time to look at shorts and no cut off jeans or football shorts, decent tidy shorts so you have something to wear for beach or bar, so it’s worth investing in some decent pairs. Colour is a personal preference but remember you want to be able to wear them with different tops so go for cargo or combat shorts and make sure they sit no higher than the lower thigh.

Footwear can be a bit of a conundrum for some men during the summer, if you have relatively tidy feet or will have, then go for flip flops, they’re great for long, leisurely afternoons in the park, or lounging around in the garden. If you don’t fancy flip flops then lighter trainers or boat shoes can also be good, but don’t go out with your ankle sock on show!

If you don’t fancy shorts then trousers can be a cooler alternative to denim, you can go for linen however they can be a bit of a chore when you have to constantly iron them, a better option are light chinos, if you invest in a good pair they can last you well into winter.

Vests, well not every man can pull off a vest, but if you can there are still some guidelines to follow, they are great for long, hot summer days on the beach or in the garden but not to go out to pubs, clubs or bars in, you will most probably get turned away. Swap to a smart t-shirts or short sleeved shirt for an evening it will look much smarter.
