Gentlemen, before we proceed to revealing the five looks that you can rock when the sun is loud and proud in the sky, it’d be great to familiarise yourselves with a few sartorial must-haves that are appropriate for hot sunny days. Time to restock your closet!
Tops
- Fifties/bowling shirt – Aside from its vintage flair, its loose cutting and wider collar allows greater airflow throughout your body, keeping you cool always.
- Mandarin collar shirt – No collar means less heat and stuffiness around your neck – hurrah to that!
- Classic plain T – Nothing’s better than a good plain ol’ T to combat the unbearable weather while still looking fly.
- Bomber jacket – But if you insist on layering during a hot sunny day, a lightweight bomber jacket is a good trendy outerwear.
- Linen blazer – And if you’re going for the gentlemen look in summer, a linen blazer is your best friend.
Bottoms
- Short shorts – Yes, don’t be appalled! Short shorts have made its comeback on fashion runways and they’re certainly perfect for hot blazing summers.
- Baggy trousers – Guess Charlie Chaplin had the formula for the perfect bottom for humid seasons all along. Like baggy tops, baggy trousers are so comfortable to wear when it’s boiling out there. And they’re a great replacement for jeans!
Footwear
- Sandals – Not only for lazy days, sandals are useful during hot weather days – lesser uncomfortable moments of sweaty feet as your feet have more breathing space!
- Slip-ons – Aside from being easy to put on, slip-ons are also not as chunky and compact as wearing boots or full-covered shoes – you’re guaranteed to have happier feet.
