10 garments and accessories all men need for the summer months

The summer’s clothes and accessories can become a part of lifelong memories. Style, functionality and the relationship to your belongings become both an emotional fusion and an inseparable visual part of your experiences. One day, perhaps the watch you wore when you proposed to your partner on a plateau in Norway will become an heirloom for future generations. Everything begins at the moment that you add them to your wardrobe. Allow every purchase to be a thought through, long-term investment. It offers you happiness when you use them, save time, money and the environment due to you consuming less often. Add another pair of shoes to your summer shoe wardrobe, then you will prolong the lifespan of the shoes if you rotate your use of each pair more often.

Sunglasses

Your sunglasses protect against strong sun as well as style disasters if you choose them with care. Allow the colour of the frames and glass to harmonise with your colour palette, and allow their shape to reflect your personality.

Blazer

The navy blue blazer is perfect for many situations. Everything from pairing a lightweight blazer with shorts and a striped jumper underneath, to becoming your go-to attire for evening dinners when paired with your trousers, shirt and shoes.

Bracelet

A bracelet made from brushed silver proves that you are aware of stylish details, even in casual situations. A bracelet pairs well with a steel watch in an interesting way.

Linen shirt

A linen shirt will wrinkle. That’s the point, plus it’s a part of the charm with the garment. It is maybe not the best choice for more formal occasions, but nearly always perfect otherwise. Cooling when it is warm, and always with an interest fabric texture.

Watch

During summer, the watch plays a bigger style roll than any other time of year, as it, together with short-sleeved garments and rolled-up sleeves, is clearly visible. With a good watch, you get away with clothes that are far more casual than the situation really requires. A steel diver’s watch is a stylish contrast to garments such as blazers and suits, whilst at the same time their quality lifts the attire’s style in simple combinations such as shorts and t-shirts. Watches of this level will with time increase in value.

Striped pullover

A striped pullover can be worn with all the items in this list. There are few garment which breathe timeless summer style in the same way as this garment.

Beige trousers

Beige trousers can be the baseline to light, minimalistic combinations with other beige and white garments, as well as classic mixes with darker garments in navy blue, light blue, brown and olive green. White sneakers are perfect with a white t-shirt or the striped pullover, and loafers paired with the linen shirt.

Loafers

Even if you belong to the crowd that wears sneakers 90% of the time, we can tell you that with habit loafers become a good bridge to a slightly more formal style. Brown suede harmonises well with light coloured garments and creates a soft contrast to the attire than black.

Shorts

Shorts are part of summer. The old adage that "men do not wear shorts in town" has long been scrapped. However, think twice before wearing shorts to work, depending on where you work. Internationally, shorts are still considered a big faux pas in office environments. Do not hesitate to wear your blue blazer paired with shorts with the striped pullover or shirt. With the sandals below, the attire pairs well with a café visit. With a couple of loafers, it may also be suitable for some more casual restaurants and outdoor cafes.

Sandals

Just like with shorts, sandals are part of summer. In the same way, you should also think twice depending at what occasion you will be wearing them. Sandals are perfect for pleasant walks in the city and by the beach. A concluding tip is that when using sandals: Make sure you have well-cared feet that have had a round of softening lotion before wearing sandals.
