Summer is coming to an end, but many people are going to extend the warm days at sea. Therefore, we continue the series of articles for men, which are devoted to the ability to select the summer wardrobe, as well as the general principles of salvation from the heat.

Today we will consider such items of men’s summer wardrobe as shorts, jeans, chinos pants, shoes and hats.

In this article we looked at the general princes of self-care in hot weather,they disassembled what kind of t-shirt or shirt it is appropriate to wear in certain cases, and also mentioned how to choose a summer suit for a man.

The Main Characteristics Of Summer Men’s Clothing

For hot weather, choose light clothing made of natural fabrics such as cotton, linen or fine wool. Try to put on loose clothing so that the air can circulate freely. The type of fabric is important; the better the fabric breathes, the better it is for summer and hot weather.

Try to shower as often as necessary to get rid of the smell of sweat (once or even twice a day). Use shampoo, gel, and deodorant with a pleasant neutral smell to prevent the smell from “hitting the nose”. The same applies to perfume. Some smells smell too hot and even you may be uncomfortable, not to mention others.

Choose the right T-shirts, shirts with short and long sleeves. The shorter the sleeve, the less formal your clothes are. When choosing a summer classic suit, pay attention to the fabric from which it is made. More formal are the wool suits, followed by the cotton suits and then the textured fabric suits such as seersucker. The most informal (read casual) are linen suits.

To avoid frying in your shirt and jacket, try to unbutton the cuffs to ensure airflow. Unbutton the top pair of buttons on the shirt. Alternatively, replace the shirt with a V-neck shirt. Try to refrain from wearing a tie and fold your handkerchief instead. This helps you add color to your look and lets others know that you have not forgotten the tie, but just decided not to wear it.

Men’s Summer Shorts

Shorts are everyday clothes for the summer. No matter how you dress, shorts and trousers made of the same fabric can not be put in a common row according to the dress code. If in developed countries people wear shorts in public places, then outside of these clothes is not universally recognized. Many people are accustomed to treating shorts as clothes exclusively for children or clothes for sports. Want to make a good impression? Think twice before you put your shorts on.

Shorts aren’t exactly clothes to wear, but rather shorts are suitable for weekends, kebabs in the countryside, an evening stroll in the park or promenade. Yes, there are classic suits with shorts, but I have little idea that somewhere in the business center you will go to a meeting in this form. Rather, it is an option for the beaches of Monaco or San Francisco, where it is very hot and without shorts just can not do. And the audience there is sophisticated and not surprised by the suit with shorts.

Coral shorts

How do you pick up men’s summer shorts? – Choose those models that are about 5-7 centimeters higher than the knee (plus or minus 2 centimeters) for the summer, which is ideal. If the height of the shorts is slightly higher, they start to look like gym shorts; if the shorts are lower, they look like capri. Shorts like jeans models should be avoided by men. Shorts should fit as tightly as possible in the hips, depending on personal preferences.

Which Fabric To Choose

The fabric for shorts should be cotton. This fabric is not only ideal for hot weather, but its properties make it easy to wash clothes, remove stains from grass and food. The khaki color, brown or white, is considered normal if you are not going to go to a bar or cafe. Madras is the main Indian dress, it is a flap of multicolored fabric that is made of light cotton. This fabric is not very common in Russia, but in the West the clothes made of madrasa has proven itself as colorful and comfortable for stylish young people.

Summer Shorts Style

The simpler the shorts, the better they’ll look. Therefore, cargo shorts with large pockets, capital letters and other details are not very suitable for a typical young man. At the other end of the shorts are chinos – they come with belt loops, folds and are designed to be worn with shirts. These shorts are usually made of their cotton fabrics. Similar shorts are used for golf.

What to Wear Shorts With

Naturally, with t-shirts and sandals and spanks. Most of us wear them with T-shirts, polo shirts or something more official, such as a short-sleeve shirt. Be careful when selecting a blazer or jacket, as it is difficult to find a good combination. It is better to combine such clothes with trousers.

Jeans And Heat

Jeans aren’t the best choice when it comes to finding a piece of clothing at 30 degrees Celsius. Although they are usually made of cotton, they are characterized by a dense weave of threads – it levels out a few positive qualities of the fabric. As the fabric does not “breathe”, it can lead to a lot of sweating. The only exception is light jeans made of thin fabric or even with holes that can be ventilated without problems.

Chinos Pants

Chinos of cotton is a good choice. They have more space between the threads, which leads to better air circulation. Such a piece of clothing can be recommended for wearing during a hot summer. Chinos can be worn without interruption. Many people may think their length is not quite right, but this design helps to ventilate the skin.

Shoes For Hot Weather

I think I won’t open America for you if I say that shoes should be as light and as spacious as possible. However, in a formal setting you have to put up with a dress code and wear classic shoes that will be hot. I consider moccasins to be the best formal summer shoes, but you can’t wear them in a business suit. You will have to make a choice; either wear classic shoes and a suit, or dress in smart casual style and moccasins.

Sandals And Flip-Flops

It’s one of the oldest types of shoes. Today they are informal shoes, and should be worn accordingly. These are shoes of various styles, it is common to separate them depending on what parts of the legs open and what material they are made of (leather or synthetic material). A pair of flip-flops is a good fit for a pool, it can be worn on the beach, while leather sandals are good for a relaxed summer party with friends.

When you’re wearing sandals, keep your nails clean and trim them in time. Wearing socks and sandals is considered to be a sign of bad taste, and first of all, the sense of wearing such shoes is lost.

Sneakers And Textile Sneakers

Sneakers or sneakers are a great choice for hot weather. These shoes are made of natural fibers and allow your feet to breathe. Such shoes are perfectly combined with shorts, especially when choosing cotton shoe material. Even better to wear sneakers with jeans or chinos.

Top Siders

Top Siders are practical shoes. Their soles are cut off to prevent you from slipping and to move the contact line with your foot. Like other practical footwear, topsiders were used many years ago and have established themselves as classic footwear – this is facilitated by the variety of colors and the ability to wear them with socks.

Moccasins And Loafers

In accordance with the Italian style, these shoes are made of light and soft leather compared to English and American shoes. The shoes are designed to be worn in the Mediterranean climate and are very comfortable despite the heat. Ideal for wearing with chinos pants.

Hats For Hot Weather

The first step in choosing a hat in hot weather is to understand your own needs. Ask yourself under what conditions you will wear a hat if both design and functionality are important to you. Functional hats that protect you from the sun are cheap and easy to find. Stylish hats that are also functional in hot weather are harder to find. However, the advantages of such a hat outweigh the time spent on studying and searching for the perfect accessory.

Style And Shape Of Hats

Panamas, straw felt hats, tiles and caps – men can wear a variety of stylish hats that help protect them from the sun. When you stand somewhere in Sochi or Krasnodar at noon in the sun at 32-33 ° C outside, the hat will save you from the sun. Depending on your needs, the width of the fields can vary considerably. My advice: Try to find a hat with fields that will protect your face and neck when the sun is at its zenith.

Material And Headgear Fiber

The best summer hats are made of vegetable fibers, which are woven in such a way as to block the access of light. They hold their shape perfectly and allow air to flow freely. When you buy a hat you can see the widest range of prices – a low quality hat woven in 1 day can be 100 times cheaper than a quality fiber hat woven for a whole month. The difference in fiber quality is 100 times or more the difference.

Don’t take those hats that have dense fibers. They will not give air access to your head. Although they may seem light, they are quite comparable to a polyethylene bag. If you put it on your head, it will have the same effect. High quality for those panam that have a wicker pattern – they can be hard, but freely pass the air, but they will cost more.

How Should A Headpiece Sit

The headpiece should fit. If it sits too tight, you will feel dizzy during the day. A hat that is too loose will not sit where it is needed. It will also prevent the air from circulating normally. Look for a band (inner ring on the hat) made of quality materials, such as cotton, for example. It will simultaneously absorb moisture from the head and let the air through the weave.

Don’t forget the handkerchief. It not only cleans your nose, but also cleans your forehead or neck.

Wear a change of clothes if you want to go straight to the restaurant from the beach. Although this will require you to be cautious, wearing an extra set of clothes will allow you to look at all 100 regardless of the events of the day. However, you will need to take your backpack or bag with you, but in most cases it is not a problem.
