4 staples you need for summer
Every month, we bring you a whole load of cool new menswear pieces. To help you decide which you’ll be adding to your wardrobe, here’s everything we think you should be wearing from the latest drops.
SHORTS, WELL DUH
Shorts, for summer? Hardly ground-breaking, but 100% essential. As soon as the weather warms up, take advantage of the rising mercury and switch to shorts for the foreseeable. We’ve got everything from tailored chino shorts to denim shorts and brightly coloured swim shorts. In short, we’re obsessed with shorts this summer. How many more times can we say shorts?
SHORTS
STATEMENT SHIRTS
You’re going to need something to wear with all those shorts (here we go again), and a statement shirt is the answer. Don’t be afraid of colour and print, especially because your holiday wardrobe is a great place to experiment with more daring looks. Go for something loose with a flat collar, try a floral pattern, pick a colour you wouldn’t normally. We promise it will pay off in compliments.
PRINTED SHIRTS
SANDALS (HEAR US OUT)
Still a bit shy about baring your toes? Don’t be. It’s time. Banish your trainers to the back of the cupboard and liberate your feet this season. A fisherman sandal is a sort of sandal-shoe hybrid that is going to be the accessory of the summer (you heard it here first guys), and a pair of slides are obligatory for holidays.
ESSENTIAL T-SHIRTS
No summer wardrobe would be complete without a stockpile of grab-and-go T-shirts. While some basics are very necessary, this summer we’ve also got a load of fresh new prints that might tempt you over to the patterned side. Go on, do it.
