The likes of unstructured suits and outfit made of softer materials are gaining prominence in the marketplace. Professionals are looking to be more casual and laid back these days, but the suit will stand the test of times in terms of style and elegance. There has also been a growing need for unstructured clothing—an extremely lightweight, slimmer and breathable design. For example, unlined deconstructed sport jackets made of cotton and jerseys and more luxurious fabrics including cashmere—materials that people find comfortable while working from home and still feel organized.

Contrary to popular opinion, tailored trousers aren’t just constructed for the everyday office variety. Cut slim with a tapered fit, tailored trousers are casual wear that’s a step up from your typical weekend gear, which can also double as a great pick for summer wedding separates. Tailored trousers are a men’s wardrobe staple, and switching to a lighter shade is a great way to stock your wardrobe this summer. Choosing a light grey tone teams well with pastels or neutrals for a cool summer look.

How many shirts do you think you can own, or rotate use on a daily basis? A functional shirt is a white long-sleeved version. It’s not just constructed for the doctors, bankers and lawyers and top-level professionals, but a solid choice that can easily transcend professional wear demands, and turn to an occasional casual outfit. For summer, I recommend going for a linen option for an extra layer of breathability pairing with a light colored chinos, accessorizing with loafers.

Fast Fashion knew no bounds, and that is evident from the way it makes selection a chore. Even crazy street fashion knows a souvenir jacket is chic and trendy. What about a printed shirt sporting the style of Harry Styles or Rami Malek? Infuse a bit of animation to a suit, or style solo alongside your favorite chinos or jeans. You can even go for Hawaiian shirt if it is a good fit. Pick bold, bright colors and distinct patterns and pair this with basic separates—the shirt will speak for itself.

There are several classics in the range of men’s wear, but the polo shirt is definitely a cut above the rest. The grand old style, under the brand name of Lacoste and Fred Perry, has literally remained unfazed ever since it was first introduced in the early 20th century. This timeless sporting piece can still challenge the newer roll-outs, and can be paired with anything from tailored trousers to swim shorts. What I recommend: Pick a polo shirt in blue and pink, and pair with matching navy shorts and accessorize with some white trainers.

Needless to say, a lightweight, slightly deconstructed blazer not only keeps you smart in warmer months, but with the use of fabrics like seersucker, linen and cotton, you’ll also look chic and not too formal this summer. Experiment with a printed revere collar and make a strong style statement throughout the season.

Virtual fitting measurement apps capture a user’s tailoring measurement in a matter of a few seconds. Fully customizable, they allow the user to choose the fabric used, collar, length, button placement, pattern and length. The customization aspects including key measurement data apply for men and women of any weight, height or silhouette-type. The highlight of most measurement apps is the integration of an intuitive User Interface (UI) which enables you to choose any style feature you want such as Collars, Cuffs, Lapels, Plackets, Fits and more.

It is worthwhile to review the venue considering where it’s taking place. If it’s a swanky beach ceremony, then you should be ideally better off with a light-colored suit and white short-sleeved shirt on. Loafers worn sockless can be the right accessory. If it’s a summer wedding, a darker look may provide more coverage serving you better.

If you want to look business casual on a Friday, put on a short sleeve button down sporting a tropic print. Pair it with stretch chinos and suede chukkas for a bit of fun. You can keep the shirt untucked for a more casual office environment, or tucked in for a more buttoned-up setting.

If you think it’s a blooper, think again: go daring by going denim on denim. Put on a pair of black jeans or dark wash to make it sync with a stonewash denim jacket. Do a bit of layering over a printed shirt with suede Chelsea boots for a piercing look with a little something extra.

This is a staple of casual workplace outfit. Wear a light button-down pairing with dark jeans and a suitable pair of shoes for all day long comfort. This mellowed down look will go along well in the office as it will at cocktail hour.

Wearing a short sleeved polo almost guarantees you a cool look during the workday. Team it with light chinos and accessorize with a pair of wingtip shoes for a spiffy tone and sophisticated feel.

Don’t shy away from situations from where you need to dress up a bit: put on a blazer with an oxford shirt and chinos. Go for blazers that are made of lightweight fabric such as cotton, and are unstructured or unlined for more ventilation.

With some confidence comes great comfort and serious style; here is one such hack that can pull off a stunning look: wear a linen shirt and dress it down with a polo shirt underneath a pair of canvas sneakers or suede.
Whether you prefer wearing lightweight fabrics, short sleeves or a little casual outfit, the choice is entirely yours to stay cool and comfy, while still sporting a regular office-appropriate look.

The chino pants are a fit for all seasons and often alternate jeans as a go-to pair of trousers. They come with a twill weave and alternate for a neutral look. A free loose style (classic fit, certain slim fits) with the bottom cuffed once in a while. Though khaki and navy are ubiquitous in terms of color, don’t say no to expressive tones. Off-white chinos may come trump this summer season.

Linen pants have always been in vogue, and turn talk of the town during summer, almost doubling the prospects of pants fitting into the wardrobe. Roomier, looser linen trousers spell supreme comfort and classic style. The wrinkle-free properties of linen parts blend well with that of cotton with some even featuring an equal proposition of linen and cotton.

The warm weather is no deterrent to guys looking to hang around with their favorite pair of jeans. I am not indifferent to this attitude. Thinner denim content and light washes can result in light weight denim that’ll keep you cool even if you’re sweating profusely. With a range of light colors to choose for men this summer, reserve the dark wash indigo denim for the cold and chilly days. This year men’s summer style will shift towards a more laid back style comprising thicker jean cuffs, usually teamed with cool chunk sneakers or minimalist white shoes.

When it comes to the selection of men’s short, try to strike a middle ground between too long and too short. There are a plethora of men’s shorts to choose from including Cotton/Chino Shorts, Jean Shorts and lightweight Sweat Shorts

Chambray is an extremely lightweight plainly woven fabric. Though similar to denim in aesthetic sense, it retains the moisture-wicking and breathable properties of lighter fabrics—just the thing you need for the hot summers. Chambray comes in a range of colors, though it is always woven using a white thread that produces a pastel sheen. I recommend your picking a light blue, light red or white this summer.

Linen shirts are absolutely stylish and simplistic making it a staple summer wear. As Linen comes from fibers of the flax plant, the material is strong, quick drying and absorbent. Linen, being wrinkle-free, gives a more comfy and casual feel among all summer outfits. Linen is highly breathable; therefore, I prefer long sleeve button downs over short sleeves. Recommended colors include off-white, white, olive and light blue.

Another fabric that is quite popular like Linen is seersucker, puckered cotton that sits next to skin. The rippling in the material helps you to stay away from the torrid heat and humidity. Usually, a thin pattern of stripes, “railway stripes” are woven into the cloth, but you can also check out seersucker in fun patterns and solids as well. Seersucker is the fancy side of men’s summer fashion; therefore, it’s a perfect fit for your wardrobe.

Any versatile summer wear for men than the comfy, good-fitting and lightweight tees? Stripes are definitely fun without being too dour. You can even pick solid light colors such as Persimmon or burnt orange and light green or sage. You can even add characters without distorting too dark for the rays of the sun.
While long-sleeved equivalents are mainstream for any winter and fall wardrobe, a short-sleeve Henley adds a lot of oomph to the regular line-up of tees. Henleys elicit their design inspiration from a regular tee, with 3-4 buttons added for a bold outfit.

In a few collections, you can find cartoon images used to craft a unique style including prints of your favorite toon characters decorated with jackets, T-shirts and sweatshirts for everyday style. Don’t think such styles go only with today’s teenagers, but even an adult can prefer to throw in an interesting theme to produce an image of “urban madman”. You can also experiment these designs not just with clothes but also shoes and other accessories. Printed watches sporting the same animated look can appear dashing, and keep up with the style game.

Brewing the fashion storm Clothes with a dose of androgynousness is not the fit for every fashionista. As this is merely a subject of choice for the most provocative and creative male who plays around with chic and trendy flagrantness.

Therefore, designers in this spring-summer season provide classic men’s suits to go with their light shirts, perhaps something that may display semblance of women’s clothing. Moreover, stylists also provide silk or lace as the primary material for bespoke suits. We all know skirt is a sheer female attribute. But make no mistake, designers have come out with an unusual piece of clothing trouser suits.

There are chilly nights, but not many. Alternate cable knit sweaters, bulky wool blazers and thick cottons with spring fabrics. Preferred fabrics include cotton, silk and linen. Check for fabrics that display summer weight, partially lined/unlined (lightening up on lining enables coats and jackets to be more breathable in hot and humid weather conditions), Tech (a term synonymous for synthetic breathable fabric garments) and moisture wicking.

Spring weather can be pretty much unpredictable; therefore, I recommend layering to keep yourself warm when you get outside on piercingly chilly days.

Besides warmth, layering offers the much needed depth helping you to look unique from the regular t-shirt and jeans look. Kindly check all posts on our Facebook page on the art of layering for style and staying warm.

While many think that layering is meant only for the winter, you can follow the same techniques for spring too. The key is to get playful and creative with how you layer your outfit, and you’re ready to go! There’s more to follow on the ultimate spring guide for men in the subsequent blog post.

A ready-to-go combo of Classic and Bohemian. Summer can bring in some real fashion surprises. White clothes, not surprisingly, is a matter of sophistication and elegance. Skinny white linen trousers turned out to be everybody’s favorite last year, and will continue to do so this year.

You can alternate snow white trousers with navy blue, extra ivory or delicate cream light colors as stylish as it could get! As a rule, fashionable costumes constitute light cropped trousers paired with a chic, simple jacket or waistcoat.

The changing scenario would see denim jackets and t-shirts going mainstream, replacing jackets and shirts to establish urban style. Don’t forget to accessorize it with loafers.

Here is something just for the sake of grace and sophistication. Designers, more often than not, pick color themes from the impeccable English lords. The choice of colors ranges from tin, granite, coffee, slate grey with dark grey, milk and milk chocolate.

But if you are someone who loves bright colors like me, you can care to prefer outfits of neutral cream, pearl color and sky-blue. Check if you can add shoes and accessories in the same format.

Hats occupy a prominent place in fashion history, and so will they this summer-spring season. A meticulously planned outfit without decent headdress is a no no, as it continues to rule the roost.

Felt hats are great for the spring and cool season. You can create new models by varying their characters using bold and vibrant colors. Therefore, you can easily capture this style for the approaching summer vacations.

‘Casual’ and ‘Classic’ twist hats are preferred for more relevant hats. Panama’s is another “bucket hat’ style. Non-informal baseball caps can afford to wait for the next season. Therefore, fashion designers aren’t afraid to experiment the theme of informal Panama, retaining the elegant themes and elements of “classic” style.
