Summer is officially upon us meaning it’s time to change that Spring/winter wardrobe (both women and men’s outfits) into something a little more appropriate for the summer months. We are halfway through the year and this is the first time we can do things without any covid restrictions.
During the hotter months, there are many variations for your summer outfits. You can either wear a baggy outfit or skintight attire although we suggest wearing something relaxed. Additionally, there are many materials that you can come across with your clothes however, cotton and linen are the more appropriate materials to wear.
How should a man’s out be in hot weather?
Wear light and breathable materials such as cotton for chinos, t-shirts and polos. Linen is another good material that you can wear during summer and this is more appropriate for suits, shirts and shorts.
If you are stuck with what to wear this summer, you have come to the right place. Surprisingly, there are many outfits that you can wear to keep you looking stylish and on-trend.
T-Shirt and Chinos Outfit
Remember in the early 10s when chino jeans were the style for the younger generation. Well, now they have made a return to the world of men’s and women’s fashion. A pair of chinos is a dressy yet suitable style that everybody should be wearing this summer in 2022. Furthermore, they are usually made out of cotton material, perfect for this time of year.
When it comes to choosing your chinos, there are plenty of styles that you can wear. The most common is a straight leg and what many men would do with this is turn them over at the bottom to give it a cropped look. Cropped pants are the common choice when it comes to summer and if your chino pants are not in this style, roll them up. If anything, they look even better than not being rolled over.
With the upper half of your body, a t-shirt is an absolute must for this outfit. If you are wearing a long-sleeved shirt of some sort, you will regret it later on in the day. For the style of t-shirt, keep it simple with just a plaint-shirt. As for the color, that all depends on the color of chinos that you are wearing on the day.
If you are wearing grey, navy blue or black, we suggest you wear a lighter colored t-shirt. A t-shirt that is either beige, ecru or even white, all of these colors would look great when worn with a dark pair of chinos. If you are wearing a lighter pair of chinos such as light grey, white or beige, we advise you to wear a darker colored top. Whatever color you are wearing with your chinos, wear the opposite with your t-shirt.
We understand that it won’t be every day when the temperature is above 15 degrees. Luckily for you, this outfit looks great with a Harrington or bomber jacket. These jackets tend to be a thin material, perfect for warmer temperatures. Complete your outfit with a pair of plain white trainers or add more color with grey trainers.
Short-Sleeved Shirt With Chinos Outfit
This outfit is much dressier than the last and is another smart-casual outfit that is suitable for the office. Again, this is with a pair of chino pants and it looks fantastic, however this time, you will be wearing a short-sleeved shirt. Furthermore, the color of a shirt depends on the color of your pants.
There is no reason you should wear a long-sleeved shirt during the summer months. It is something that should be stored deep down in your wardrobe. A pair of beige pants with a light blue or navy blue shirt is a great color combination. If you are wearing a grey pair of chinos, choose a black or white short-sleeved shirt.
For your footwear, it will be slightly different to the trainers that you would wear with a t-shirt and pants. You want to be wearing a pair of loafers which can be either brown or black, depending on the color of the belt you are wearing.
Which color of shirt is best worn during summer?
The typical color that you should wear during the summer months is white as this reflects the most light. However, there are many other lighter colors that you can wear in the summer months such as light blue, pink and beige. Any color can be worn during the summer months although some are more appropriate than others. If you can, avoid wearing black as it is a better conductor compared to white and other lighter colors.
The Summer Wedding Outfit
Stepping away from the smart-casual style and office attire. The summer wedding outfit is a style to master when it is warm. Let’s be honest, there are no suits out there suitable for the hot temperatures. A three-piece suit is something you should avoid at this type of venue.
Cropped pants, a short-sleeved shirt and a blazer are what you should be wearing. Again wear a pair of loafers to keep that dressy style. For your shirt, avoid plain oxford shirts and go for something that has a more summery vibe to it. Everybody likes a flowery pattern on a shirt around this time of year and it can look great if styled correctly.
What color should a man wear to a summer wedding?
There are many different colored suits out there to choose however for a summer wedding, some are more appropriate than others. Try your best to wear light colored materials because they reflect the heat. colors such as tan, light grey, light blue or ecru or all suitable for a summer wedding. You can even wear a white suit if you wanted. If you do wear a white suit, wear a light pink shirt with it to give your outfit color.
Men’s Outfits for Beach
When going on holiday, you need to find the perfect beach outfit. Men’s fashion is simple although it is easy to get wrong. A beach outfit is a very relaxed style and it is more about dressing for the occasion rather than dressing to look good. Short-sleeved shirts, chino shorts and a pair of canvas shoes are what you want to wear. If you are walking along the beach, wear something more appropriate like a pair of sandals.
Avoid a basic plain shirt and wear something that fits the beach theme. Wear a vibrant and much more colorful shirt that we have previously mentioned in this article. A linen shirt is a perfect material for the beach so make sure you are wearing this material.
For the shorts that you would be wearing, it depends on what you are going to be doing at the beach. If you are sitting at a beach cafe or bar, wear Bermuda shorts. However, if you are going to be going to the beach and maybe having a dip in the sea, wear swimming shorts.
To Conclude
So there you have it, the summer outfits you should be wearing this year. It is time to put away those tracksuits and dress more appropriately for the summer months. There are a few things that you need to avoid this summer where some have already been mentioned.
Is black good for summer?
There is nothing wrong with wearing black clothing during summer although we suggest that you avoid wearing a full black outfit. If you are going to wear something black, make sure that you wear an appropriate material for the weather.
One thing that we have not mentioned yet is denim clothing. The material is way too thick so avoid it at all costs. Twin sets are another good outfit that can be worn this time of year. Depending on the occasion, either a short sleeve shirt or a t-shirt would be perfect with matching shorts.
