Must have summer fashion pieces for men

It’s time to update your summer wardrobe. Knowing how to dress can be a challenge, especially with the thin line between being comfortable in the heat and wearing something appropriate and fashionable.

To stay on trend, here are the essential pieces needed to instantly update your look.

Printed shirts can be worn alone, as a statement piece, or layered under a jumper or blazer. Prints bring color into a wardrobe. Consider florals, tropical prints, large dots, geometrics, and camouflage.

When wearing prints, particularly bold prints, keep the rest of the outfit minimal to ensure your shirt is the focal point.

Statement stripes can cater to both a casual and formal look in a wardrobe. The stripe is an appropriate statement in smart trousers, shorts, knitwear, and shirts, as well as more relaxed jumpers and accessories.

Consider that different stripes will impact the illusion of your size and shape. Horizontal stripes will make you look wider

by breaking up your vertical silhouette, while vertical stripes give the illusion of length.

Florals are integral for summer, with many unique takes on this definitive pattern. Florals are now applied to sportswear classics, including bomber jackets, tees, shorts, and basketball trainers, along with shirts, pants, and lightweight knitwear.

When wearing florals, make the piece the loudest part of the outfit, and pair it with neutrals and contrasting masculine accessories like a black Kevlar bracelet.

Quality denim is a solid staple, but the key summer trend is incorporating a variety of denim pieces into one look.

Wearing multiple denim pieces works best by ensuring they are different shades or washes. Denim comes in a variety of colors so mixing pieces together is so much easier when the hues are completely contrasting.

White trainers are a neutral, classic footwear style that is easy to pair with an array of textures, prints, and colors. They effortlessly dress up or down to pair with a day or evening wardrobe. If wearing white trainers out at night, complement them with a sharp, lightweight blazer and cool skull cufflinks.

During the day, match them with a white tee and jeans.

Pastel colors are transitioning from being considered feminine to unisex. This is seen in

everything from baby blue suits to mint green blazers. If a jacket or shirt isn’t an option, stick to a pair of well-cut pastel chinos or shorts.

Pastel pants in lightweight materials such as

cotton or linen are a cool alternative to denim, and accessorize perfectly with sterling silver neckwear.

Blue, green, and red are the hot colors for this summer.

Blue and green pair well with dark neutrals like brown or black, unless the blue or green are a

bold hue, in which case slate gray and white are a better match.

Red is bold and vibrant. It is tricky to pull off, depending on skin

tone, and is best kept as the one statement element.
