Men’s Shirts for Summer
Summer fashion is dominated by the girls – maxi dresses, tunic tops, long skirts and feminine sandals – but what about the guys’ side of things? Just like the ladies, men often have a summer wardrobe they like to break out when the sun shows her face, and the trends and fashions are developing every year to give you new ideas for comfortable yet stylish summer clothing.
Whilst the girls are overly concerned with looking great, in general men have a more practical approach. Summer means the time to swap the heavy layers, jackets and wool of winter for breathable shirts and lightweight trousers or shorts. But that desire for comfort and practicality doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the perfect summer style.
One of the hottest men’s fashion trends this summer, prompted by the leading lads of blockbuster movie The Hangover II, is the shirt as a jacket. That’s right – a light shirt that you can wear over a t-shirt or vest as a summer jacket. Floral mens shirts come in a variety of different styles and fabrics, but you want to keep things simple and cool, so try pairing a light cotton polo shirt with a plain white sports shirt on top. When it comes to the extremely hot weather, you will be grateful for a light cotton fabric, but if the weather happens to change quite suddenly or you are out on a cool summer’s evening, the second shirt will act as a jacket to add that extra layer to maintain the perfect body temperature.
You could pair a patterned t-shirt, perhaps with a graphic design, with a plain work shirt on top, or consider a plain vest top underneath with a patterned shirt overlay. The big print for men this summer, as always, comes in the form of floral men’s shirts – you know when you see one that summer is definitely in style.
