Sail Through Summer

Keep a lookout for these trending summer essentials

Extended summer holidays are upon us and for those who plan to head to their favourite island getaways, keep a lookout for these trending summer essentials, perfect for the discerning man who travels looking first-class.

1 Taunting Guns



Assuming you’ve been hitting the gym for a beach ready body, remember, tank tops do a great job at showing off your arms while tackling heat! Be it floral prints or abstract graphics, try to pair your tank with streamlined shorts for a funky yet effortlessly cool look.

2 Clear Your Glasses



Clear acetate glasses are summer’s coolest variety to keep the sun out of your eyes. Lay off those gothic dark black wayfarers, for shades with a playful feel. Choose pairs that have tinted or mercury lenses as they provide better protection from the sun’s harmful rays.

3 Bare Your Calves



While denim cut-off shorts have somewhat become a staple in the off-work wardrobe, summer calls for taking risks while maintaining a modicum of modesty. Experiment with styles that end just above the knee in vibrant colours and daring prints that can transition to smart-casual by simply changing the shirt.

4 Prints In The Long Of It




For days that require you to look suave, you need covered clothing that can take you from the dockyard to the dining table without an iron. Choose long-sleeved shirts in chambray, or one with a foliage print so that even if the sea breeze gets a little chilly, you still look laid-back.

5 Not Only Tom



Prioritising personality trumps choosing flip-flops to go everywhere. Espadrilles with their woven and fabric based construction ensure that your feet remain cool in the sweltering sun and that you feel as comfortable  as if you are wearing your favourite broken-in sneakers without the fuss of laces and straps to fasten.

6 Bag it to the beach



Carrying a backpack to the beach looks like you are bunking school, while leather holdalls are a tad bit stuck up. So, when you need a few items to hit the sun, a tote bag is ideal. Go for totes made of canvas or nylon with straps long enough to be thrown over your shoulder. You won’t have to worry about keeping it safe and it will be within your reach at all times.

7 Lay Off The Leather



With woven and webbed belts trending, you have no excuse to wear black leather formal belts on a summer vacation. A laidback look calls for accessories that bring an effortless, laissez-faire feel to your ensemble. When it comes to summer vacations, remember, going beltless is better than an over-the-top belt.
