Classic Summer Pieces That Should Be In Every Man’s Wardrobe

Printed Short-Sleeved Shirt

As more and more men clock on to trends, it can be hard to stand out. Even Crazy Frank down the pub knows what a souvenir jacket is. A printed shirt in the style of Rami Malek or Harry Styles is the antidote. Use to add a little light-heartedness to a suit, or to make a solo statement alongside jeans or chinos.

“The look you want to go for is the modern day Hawaiian shirt, just slightly more fitted,” says Longmore. “Go for bright, bold colours and unique patterns, team this with simple separates and let the shirt do all the talking.”

Cotton Polo Shirt

Of all the ‘classics’ in the male wardrobe, the polo shirt arguably deserves the title more than any. A grand slam of design that has remained practically unchanged since the early 20th century, the sporting piece still refuses to look outdated when worn alongside anything from swim shorts to tailored trousers.

“Ever since Fred Perry and Lacoste emblazoned polo shirts, the world has been obsessed,” says Courcey. “This season, opt for a polo shirt in pink or blue and team it with a pair navy shorts and some white trainers.

White Sneakers

Trends aren’t meant to last, right? That’s why we call them trends. So how long does a piece have to stick around before it’s considered a classic? Well, we’re calling it: the white sneaker has officially been inducted into the menswear hall of fame.

“I’m not sure we can credit the Scottish actor with this trend but ever since David Tenant’s turn in Doctor Who, wearing trainers with a suit has not only been acceptable but actively encouraged,” says Bouteba. “Pick up a simple pair of white sneakers and they’ll take you from desk to dancefloor and on to dodgy chicken shop if the night goes well.”
