SUMMER STYLE ESSENTIALS
How to dress for the Summer!
Dressing for the summer can be hard at times. Wearing fewer clothes makes it harder to look good and feel comfortable at the same time. In this post we run through the summer styles that any guy can pull off and get noticed!
Shorts
Styling up shorts can be a struggle at times but over the years they have gotten quite fashionable making it easier for guys to rock them! When you think of summer you think pastel colours, however if you're afraid of attempting to rock those colour’s you can go for the neutral look.
Blue/Black shorts are perfect to match any kind of colour tee/shirt. They can easily be worn with a white tee and white trainers or for more of a smarter look you could wear a smart pink shirt with boat shoes or loafers.
Remember when choosing shorts go for a fitted, slim or skinny fit rather than a baggy and loose fit. Any shorts just above the knee are perfect to rock!
Shirts
Summer shirts should be light and smart shirts should be linen to keep you cool throughout the summer!
Seriously guys don't go for the latest designer brand just to feel good for one summer. Designer clothing tends to go out of fashion every year as new designs come in.
Invest in some plain tees that are slim fit. You want them to fit you well but also for yourself to feel comfortable in them. You cannot go wrong with plain or stripe tees as they will never go out of fashion and you can bulk buy most of them!

However, if plain crew neck or V-neck tees are not for you then you can opt for a different option. Polo tee, long sleeve or short sleeve shirts also go really well with a pair of shorts though, keep the heat in mind when opting for the long sleeve shirts and make sure you go for a linen material to stay cool throughout the day.
Plain shirts are great and easy to match up but don't be afraid to try something different. Patterned shirts especially floral print are great for the summer and are the latest trend right now.

Jeans
At times temperatures are too high to even consider wearing jeans however, during the late summer nights when the temperature drops and it is a little cool outside, you may find yourself slipping into your favourite pair of jeans.
I recommend everyone to try new things once in a while. You don't see many guys rocking white jeans unless they're on holiday or at a beach party. Funny enough white jeans are easily matched with dark colours whether it is a tee or a smart shirt. See a recommended outfit inspired below.

Shoes
Shoes can be tricky at times, but for the summer you can easily rock anything from slip ons, loafers, boat shoes to vans, converse or just plain white trainers. Keep trainer colour subtle during the summer, white trainers are the most popular colour for the summer months!
Don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean you should stick to plain trainers, it is totally fine to rock some low profile trainers with your outfits as long as you make sure they match.
