Summer offers many good things: better temperatures, longer days, a more relaxed atmosphere… But those higher temperatures we love so much can be annoying when it comes to deciding what to wear. Creating a men’s summer outfit that not only has style but also helps you combat the high temperatures can be quite the challenge.
But for some, the real challenge of how to dress in summer as a man lies in adapting trends to their style. In 2024, the summer will be dominated by colours such as khaki or pastel orange, classics such as tank tops, striped polo shirts or Bermuda shorts and, above all, comfortable shoes, the real challenge will be not to try out all these trends. To make it a bit easier for you to create a stylish summer outfit, today we give you some ideas for men’s clothing styles.
Effortless cool
It’s always been said that the best men’s looks are those that seem effortless. And if they also have extra style and are appropriate both for having a drink with friends or for a somewhat more formal date, even better.
The combination may seem very simple, but we promise it’s also very effective. Let’s start with the top, simple but very effective, a T-shirt in a neutral tone like sand. To add contrast to this men’s summer outfit, we’ll choose navy blue linen Bermuda shorts. And to complete this ensemble, the best option is to add a fun touch with men’s espadrilles.
Versatile, smart, and above all, comfortable.
Timeless classics
If your intention is to go to the beach to cope with this heat, but you don’t want it to be obvious that you’re wearing boardshorts, we’re going to help you find a men’s summer outfit which you will be well-dressed in and always on trend; because there are things that never go out of style.
Of course, we’ll start with the boardshorts themselves. It’s best to choose something a bit more classic, with a length above the knee like the traditional boardshorts in some cheerful colour to give a special touch to this casual men’s outfit. To that, we add a simpler whiteT-shirt. And we complete the ensemble with flip flops that will serve you both for the beach and for walking comfortably around the city.
Ode to Craftsmanship
If there’s one type of garment that has always been associated with summer temperatures, it’s crochet garments. And in this summer, they’re bursting into men’s wardrobes to become a must-have for any respectable man’s summer outfit.
Our proposal? A wide crochet polo shirt with short sleeves, but not quite oversized. To combine it, you can opt for Bermuda shorts in a neutral colour, or take a bit more risk and pair it with shorts for men in the same colour, thus creating a complete look. For footwear, of course, one of the most comfortable and versatile options of the season, espadrilles.
Preppy Boy
Back in 2020, the aesthetic traditionally associated with “good boys” experienced a resurgence, transforming into one of the most followed trends by the new generations. This streetwear influence is still present today, even for the summer months.
The way to adapt this preppy style to men’s summer outfits, both for everyday work and for a night out with friends, is very simple. You just need to get a knitted polo shirt with white and navy blue stripes, a true classic, especially if you’re spending the summer in a beach place where the nights are cooler. For the bottom part, we recommend long cargo pants in a neutral tone, and if you want to make it a bit more informal, choose them in their Bermuda version.For footwear, the option couldn’t be simpler: comfortable trainers suitable for any moment.
Go for Neutrals
Whether in men’s or women’s fashion, neutral colours are always a safe bet. That’s why we recommend that for a good casual men’s look, always have some neutral-toned pants around which to build a good style that allows you to enjoy any summer plan while keeping your style intact.
This men’s summer outfit starts with linen Bermuda shorts in tones like raffia or sand. Neutral tones to which you can add colour by opting for a blue T-shirt, which will stand out much more against the neutral base. And to give this men’s outfit a more all-terrain character that will allow you to walk around the city in the most comfortable way, we’ll opt for trainers also in blue.
A simple but very effective summer look for men.
Experiment with Colour Block
Summer is a time to have fun, even when dressing. That’s why we can’t forget that one of the trends of 2024 is the return of colour block. Using colour blocks to create one of the best men’s summer outfits is easier than you think.
If you’re willing to say goodbye to neutral tones, we recommend opting for some of the most demanded colours this summer such as khaki, yellow, pastel orange, or pastel violet. It doesn’t matter which garments you choose for the ensemble, the important thing is to define the colour blocks, for example, the top and trainers or men’s flip flops in pastel orange and khaki pants. Do you dare?
Off-Duty Surfer
We can’t forget the most casual look of all, one with which to have a drink at your favourite beach bar and then stay for a swim.
Something super comfortable, with a sporty cut, and essential in a summer wardrobe. In this case, it’s best to go for very functional and comfortable Bermuda shorts like long cargo shorts in navy blue, so you can carry everything you need with you without any accessories. For the top part of this men’s summer outfit, a T-shirt with vibrant colour details like yellow. And for footwear, the most comfortable option you could find for walking on the sand, classic strap flip flops. This look is like a tsunami of style, even the biggest waves can’t handle it!
Super-classic with a twist
You’ve probably noticed that one of the most classic men’s summer looks is the combination of navy blue pants or Bermuda shorts with a white shirt. But we propose a new version of this classic with which to achieve a bolder image. For the top part of this men’s summer outfit, we’ll choose a white tank top, ideal for the hottest days. For the bottom garment, the choice is clear, navy blue linen Bermuda shorts. Or, if you prefer, go for shorts in the same tone and material. The ensemble is completed with staple white canvas trainers.
