From BBQs to beer gardens…

We Brits have to make the most of warmer weather, even if that means digging out our flip flops and shorts when temperatures pass a mere 11 degrees. See, the weather here is notoriously precarious but that’s just part and parcel of living in a country that’s situated in the northern hemisphere. Geology aside, we’re actually tough as old boots thanks to these unpredictable conditions. Thankfully though, it’s summer currently and those beating hot rays are making a welcomed appearance. So, if you have outdoor plans for the Euros, BBQs booked in, or beer garden gatherings coming up, why not invest in the men’s summer styles below.

Look 1:

Leaning heavily on the premium flex of Parisian brand Maison Margiela, this first summer style opts for the timeless quality of a denim jacket. Working as its core, the denim jacket is then paired with a short-sleeved white tee, complete with a colourful graphic – an appropriate design for this season’s explosive palette. To keep things tonal, we’ve assembled the top part of the look with navy Norse Projects trousers and a Comme des Garcons WALLET to match. To finish, Maison Margiela ‘Replica’ sneakers and a silver cuff bracelet draw your eye to the finer details.

Alternatives:

• Dries Van Noten Carltone Shirt
• Dries Van Noten Penny Trousers
• Lanvin Clay Low Top Trainers

Look 2:

Great for roaming outdoor festivals under the beating hot sun, this second outfit pairs Cali’ hailing brands Stussy and Gramicci together, opting for a breezy Stussy tee and ultra-cool logo bucket hat and a Gramicci overshirt and trousers in neutral tones. Swedish label Axel Arigato brings the heat in the footwear department with its iconic Clean 90 silhouette while Dries Van Noten keeps things practical with a cross-body bag.

Alternatives:

• Patagonia Ridgeline Runner T-Shirt
• Nike Heritage Essentials Hoodie
• Nike Air Max 2090

 

Look 3:

This last look balances the vibrancy commonly associated with summer with the practicality of dressing for uncertain conditions. The Paul Smith jacket is finished in a toned-down blue and features a hood that can be drawn in around the face to keep the rain and cold locked out. The pistachio hues of the Fred Perry tee bounce off the olive shades in the adidas Broomfield trainers whilst a set of Nudie socks and jeans give the outfit its timeless sophistication.

Alternatives:

• Fred Perry Button-Down Shirt
• Belstaff Phoenix Logo Cap
• Paul Smith Keyhole T-Shirt
