DAPPER SUMMER OUTFITS THAT ARE GUARANTEED TO TURN THE HEAT ON! – PART 2
There is so much to cover in terms of summer fashion for men that I felt a follow-up blog to the topic may well serve the purpose. Men, unlike their gender counterpart, don’t have the leverage to mix and match basics with solid & bold prints, vibrant accessories or vivid textures.
Organic cotton shirt:
An organic cotton shirt, especially crafted for the beach, comes as the perfect option for light summer layering. A blend of hemp and organic cotton is really soft and supple, offering appreciable protection from the vagaries of the sun at the seaside or even after sunset. We’ve already discussed the significance of a regular T-shirt in the previous post of the blog. It is a staple of any man’s wardrobe, and a worthwhile investment for the long haul. Any quality T-shirt should retain its form-fitting silhouette even after multiple washes. The most important part, however, is to check for the softness of the material.
The rise of retro-inspired graphics is evident in recent times and only a cotton T-shirt can do justice to this growing trend. Leveraging the dynamic vibe of the T-shirt, pair it with black jeans that is skin-fit with a toned-down detailing. Give a zing look to the outfit by layering with more refined pieces such as a bespoke utility jacket. It serves as not only a useful layer, but also as a versatile wear for the sunny evenings too! Summers are definitely a time to enjoy without your having to reinvent the wheel or go the whole hog every single time. You need to take things in your stride and make them look easy. Likewise, when it comes to understanding which outfit pieces work for you and which don’t, you just need to look things with a fresh perspective. Are they in line with either the current or emerging trends? Summers define the trend for the rest of the seasons to follow through. Take the classic combo of a short-sleeve shirt teamed up with a retro-imagined nautical flavor and a pair of blue denim jeans wedded impeccably, the best part, as for me, is the balmy shades of the ‘feel blue’ hue adding to the buildup, accentuated by matching accessories, either for a contemporary look or throwback appeal.
Power of Neutrals:
Summer casual style isn’t about just being flashy or gaudy, but maintaining a fairly simple color palette. Neutrals can bring in the same amount of excitement to any look. Besides, it is easy to establish a casual look with a simple formula: the starting point of all summer casual is a solid colored top (may be additional scores for everything else with a bit of textured details). Pair the outfit with a stretchy jeans featuring a lighter color. Accessorize it with a pair of white sneakers and other pieces of shades from the same color family. This coordinated effort in effect can result in producing a chic and stylish look overall.
