A Man’s Guide To Staying Stylish During Summer

Summer may just be the best time of the year. However, living in the heat day after day while trying to look put-together isn’t always the easiest feat. Sure, you could opt to wear your favorite t-shirt and pair of athletic shorts every day, but we’re pretty sure that is going to get you some strange looks when you walk into the office. This means you need to find a solution for staying cool and looking cool all at the same time this summer. Thankfully, there are many different tactics you can use to ensure that you are able to do just that. In this post, we are going to give you some advice regarding how to keep your summer wardrobe trendy and as comfortable as possible. Continue reading below to learn more.

Switch Up Your Usual Fabrics

If you are looking to wear tailoring in the heat of summer, you need to make sure that you are wearing the right fabric as well. While this might seem a little obvious, cotton is the main fabric that will allow for you to breathe during the summer. Plain and simple, you can pack up anything made of fleece or wool until fall arrives. Another option that is available to you at this time of year if linen. This material is a summer staple for men and women and allows you to feel and look great even on the hottest days of summer.

Think About Volume

Another way you can help to ensure that your clothing ventilates well is to create volume around the body itself. While this might sound like we are suggested you buy all of your clothing two sizes too big, we absolutely are not. Instead, we are suggesting that you look for something particular in the clothing you purchase and that thing is pleats. Pleats allow for you to move easily and they also help to keep fabric away from the body in crucial areas. However, they also offer a very important feature in that while giving you space, they also retain the overall cut and shape of the garment, giving your body shape as well. The most common places you will find pleats are at the waistband of pants and on the backs of shirts.

Make Use Of Layers

While this may sound a bit counterproductive, as you are probably wanting to wear as little clothing as possible during the summer, wearing layers is actually a great way to style your outfits during this time of the year. Sure, it may not seem like a good idea if you are going to be spending all day outdoors in the sun, but how often do you really get to do that? Layering allows for you to move from one location to another and adjust your outfit accordingly throughout the day. On the other hand, remember that you do not want to layer really thick materials. Stick with light layers in order to avoid overheating when you do find yourself outside for an extended period of time.

Pick Pieces With Detail

Since you cannot wear elaborate outfits during the summer without becoming drenched in sweat, picking pieces that come with distinct details is a great way to make your summer wardrobe work for you. Look for shirts and light jackets with detailed linings, trimmings, extra stitching, and pockets. These small, seemingly unnoticeable details will absolutely be noticed when you are wearing a simplistic ensemble due to the heat.

Choose Your Colors Wisely

There are certain colors you should wear during summer and then there are others that you don’t need to sport until the autumn seasons rolls around once again. For instance, colors that are well known for showing sweat stains aren’t exactly ideal when the temperature is over 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The colors we would suggest that you skip this summer season are mostly light blues, greys, and any darker pastels. We would suggest, on the other hand, that you invest in shirts that are either white or come with a print that will deter people from any sweat lines or marks that may appear throughout the day.

Know The Right Shoes to Wear

There are plenty of shoes you can choose to wear during the summer months. However, it does become more difficult when you are also trying to remain cool. For example, while shoes with rubber soles are likely to be great with many different outfits, they do not breathe one bit. Instead of these suffocating shoes, we would suggest that you invest in footwear that comes with a natural-fibre sole.  Not only will these shoes feel great in the heat, but you can truly mix and match them with the majority of your summer looks.
