The Bullet-proof Summer Style Guide for Men

Summer is here, and dressing well in warm weather can be more challenging than in fall, winter or spring. Layers are fewer, and heavier outerwear is no longer an option. So how do you stay cool and still look well-dressed through summer? Here are a few practical tips.

Choose the right fabrics

The key is to choose lightweight fabrics for most, if not all, of your summer clothing. These fabrics are well suited to hot summer days and help you stay cool and comfortable. Summer fabrics are lighter than fabrics typically worn in fall or spring, which allows heat to escape more easily.

Linen clothing is a natural choice for summer, and for good reason: linen allows more air to pass through thanks to its open weave. On the downside, linen fabrics tend to wrinkle more because of that loose weave, which is also part of what makes them so comfortable. Choose a linen-cotton blend if you want to reduce wrinkling.

Opt for clothing in light colors

When choosing summer clothing, keep lighter and brighter tones in mind. Summer is a good time to introduce more color, without needing to choose anything too bold. Look instead to lighter shades of neutral colors such as grey, brown and green, along with different shades of blue.

There are some great tips out on the world wide web regarding which clothing items are must-haves for summer. Here are our personal favorites:

Polo shirts: A selection of high-quality custom-tailored polo shirts makes summer dressing easy. They work well across a range of occasions, and long-sleeved polo shirts are a practical choice for cooler evenings.

Linen shirts: If summer were a garment, it would surely be a linen shirt. It will help keep you cool while maintaining a well-dressed look throughout the season.

Shorts: A pair of custom-tailored shorts offers both comfort and style, with a precise fit and the right amount of stretch. Wear them with a well-fitted dress shirt for a more dressed-up look, or keep your style relaxed and polished at the beach.

Short-sleeved dress shirts: A short-sleeved dress shirt is a relaxed and versatile choice for summer. Even if you prefer to keep patterns subtle, a lightly patterned short-sleeved shirt is an easy addition to a summer wardrobe.
