Look, I know summer fashion for many dudes simply means swim trunks, tanks, and flippy floppies. But there are so many more summer options out there that will help you face the heat without sacrificing your style. Here are a few alternatives to think about when heading out into the summer sun.
1. Henleys instead of v-necks.
Because deep v-necks are a no-no, and regular v-necks are kind of played out. Just undo that top button and play on player!
2. Cotton polos for more of a preppy look.
3. Short sleeved button ups in patterns instead of stripes and checkers.
Just make sure they fit and aren't those ugly Charlie Sheen monstrosities he popularized.
4. Lightweight chinos in a few different colors.
If jeans and shorts aren't up your alley, lightweight chinos may be just the thing you're looking for this summer.
5. Low -profile sneakers instead of big clunky ones.
Throw on some no-show socks and head on out to enjoy those summer days.
6. Linen blazers for all those outdoor summer weddings.
7. Hawaiian prints for a little something different.
Hawaiian prints have gotten a bad rap by dads who think they are the end-all-be-all of casual wear. But wearing a fitted one in a colorful pattern can make your summer just that much brighter.
8. Espadrilles instead of your janky old flip flops.
Because no one wants to see your crusty feet as you walk the boardwalk.
9. Baseball tees instead of regular ones.
10. Shorts right at or above the knee.
Too short and you get into Lt. Dangle territory, too long and you are in the capri zone.
11. Light, long sleeved shirts that you can layer with.
12. Aviator glasses to channel your inner "Don Draper on vacation."
