Summer is hard to be stylish. When there is 50 degrees out there and all you want to wear shorts and a T-Shirt.
But its time to change our routines in our style to reflect and to make sure that we stay cool. During these crazy hot days.
However, according to me is an interesting season. I love it because it’s nice and warm you get to the beach.
Also, I know it is not necessarily the nicest weather for fashion. You can’t really wear layers and you have to find other ways to stand out.
But, It is the most challenging season to look more stylish. Because in fall, winter, spring you get the layers and pairs you get to wear your jackets.
In addition, you literally would sweat your balls off if you try to layer too much or wear fabrics. Because they are not breathable and are not lightweight.
5 forever trendy fashion trends for summer
1. Linen clothes
Linen makes you look expensive also the fact that linen fabric is itself expensive.
I didn’t get into linen shirts until pretty late in the game. But I’m so glad that I did because they feel awesome they feel amazing. Because they’re breathable and lightweight as compare to cotton.
Linen is made up of flax plants other than the most common cotton. So, it helps your body to breathe more in summers and helps in beating that heat by absorbing sweat.
Linen gives you a rich and friendly look because linen is more expensive than your regular cotton materials
But this also lasts longer than cotton. so, the longevity factor is more Cotton shirts get damaged easily.
When it comes to style linen then linen should be paired with cotton to give a complete look.
You can also wear linen on linen. For example, linen shirts with linen pants but ideally, a linen shirt and cotton pants can do the job.
Use the unsaturated with the saturated formula that is wearing a light color linen shirt with dark cotton pants.
Also, you have to remember that before you buy linen shirts or pants. Try multiple sizes because linen is made up of material that is non-stretchable.
But one beautiful thing about linen is that linen fabric gets better with the wash but cotton shrinks with every wash.
The same goes for the blazers just in case you’re someone who wears suits and blazers all year round.
Also, Floral shirts if you are someone who is bored from T-shirt this is what you can experiment in summers it gives you very fun and cool guy vibes.
2. Cotton Pants
But Wait! Just stop. Meanwhile, are you thinking about denim jeans? Well if you’re then you’re adding few more degrees means more heat in your body.
You see pieces of denim are heavy they are for winters, don’t be just another guy who’s wearing jeans every time he steps off his house, that is just no go.
If you’re doing so then you’re just another guy out there.
Get cotton chinos instead of denim jeans.
Well, I know you can’t really throw your denim but try wearing light color denim that doesn’t look warm during the day.
Firstly, Wear shorts, yes master your shorts, don’t be afraid of wearing shorts. Most importantly, don’t think that your calves are small or whatever dump reasons you can think of, you can rock your casual evening outings with shorts.
You can pair it with your shirts or tees with your flip flops. This gives very cool vibes in summers.
So, experiment and give it a try.
3. Shoes
So, coming to my favorite topic. What kind of shoes is ideal for summers? Well, there’s no need to get anything fancy expensive or leather.
Above all, Loafers, slippers, or if you want to replace your slippers for your casual outing get espadrilles.
Espadrilles are shoes similar to loafers but it is made up of more breathable materials. Perfect for summers to give airflow to your feet, replace your boring flip flops.
Also, Don’t wear Chelsea boots or leather sneakers they don’t let your foot breathe.
Chelsea boots you can wear in the evenings when the sun is off. Wear light sneakers and shoes which are easy to carry and that are accepted with the weather.
4. Fresh Cologne
Your smell affects your overall look. But a lot of guys don’t really understand that different colognes, different scents go on different occasions.
Firstly there are perfumes that are made for specific weather if you wear a winter cologne in summer.
I don’t know to say but it will be like you are wearing a leather jacket then the sun is at 40 degrees just image. Also, It gives the vibes that you are wearing winter clothes.
So if you have a scent that is musky, heavy, woody cologne its probably not the best to wear when its summery, hot, muggy day.
Therefore, try to find something lighter something fresh and airy .
For example Davidoff Cool Water, or the Amazon bestseller Nautica Voyage the best and safest scent according to a price proposition.
For instance Prada L,homme best office fragrance this is the one which will make you overwhelming in your office or one of my favorites Dolce&gabbana light blue intense perfect for the summer outings.
As a result all these fragrances go well and can do your job all day of keeping you fresh all day.
So, shop according to your budget and get your signature scent.
5. Accessories
You can’t really layer too much in summers but what you can do instead is get accessories.
There are a few things which you should get in order to set yourself apart from the average men around you.
These are not something that is hard to find, let me tell you what all these things are:
Watches
Above all this is my favorite accessory something that every man should have, it adds details and completes the outfit
For example, get a watch which has light tone something like tan or white or any light shade gives you summery vibes, dark tone watches like dark brown is for winters.
Leather strap watches are also good, but what is not cool is rubber material watches that just sticks to your skin and keeps it sweaty and irritating all day
And the one which has its face too big it was popular but that is long going they’re just heavy and clunky.
Also, remember there is no relation to getting an expensive watch get something simple and classic that will do your job. you can check some summer watches.

Sunglasses
Sunglasses are a must for the summer in my opinion, even if they’re cheap no-brand plastic sunglasses it doesn’t matter.
As long it looks good on your face shape and protects your eyes then you should get them.
For example go to a store see what works best for you according to your face shape is it round, square big or small, do you want a black or brown or something funky. So, try them out and pick the right one for you.
However what I would suggest if you want to play safe and look stylish just get simple black sunglasses.
Above all, I call them all-rounder glasses works in summers, winters with any outfit be it casual or formal.
Sunscreen
Always wear sunscreen make this a habit, especially hot countries like India where the sun is always shining or if you’re out a lot in summer.
However, the Sun literally destroys your skin, excessive sun heat, and bad rays from the sun that will make you age faster.
So be very careful with the sun.
So, Just make sure that you’re applying that every day but also if you’re going to the beach.
If you’re playing some outdoor sports like hiking, cricket, football like anything that’s outdoor and it is going to be on you then apply something a little bit stronger. For example, an SPF 50 or higher just to make sure that you’re safe.
Also getting a hat any basic baseball or snapback cap will save you from extreme heat, note direct sun heat damage quality of your hair.
