Are you a busy guy looking for easy, stylish summer outfit ideas? Look no further than our list of 12 summer looks for men. We’ll have you prepared for anything and everything, from casual Friday to date night.
Let's get right into it...
Outfit #1: Unbuttoned Button Up
Sunday Funday? Try a denim shirt over a tee. Pair with chinos and suede loafers for a casual look. Don’t forget the shades. This outfit works because of the low contrast and the relaxed tone of each piece. It’s an ideal outfit for a backyard barbecue.
Outfit #2: Elevated Jeans and T-Shirt
Is it time to walk the dog or run errands? Don’t be sloppy. Elevate your go-to jeans and t-shirt look with our Harrington jacket. This casual weekend look is a step above the rest.
Outfit #3: Madras Short Sleever
Is it too hot for anything with sleeves? Why not try a short-sleeve madras shirt with navy shorts? Clean, white sneakers add a relaxed, cool vibe.
Outfit #4: Preppy Casual
Shorts aren’t only for the beach. Dress yours up by pairing them with a button-down shirt and loafers. Don’t forget your watch, belt, and shades. You’ll be the man with confidence to spare.
Outfit #5: Summer Business Casual
Dress things up by tucking a white button-down into light-wash jeans. Add a summer-weight blazer in tan for a sophisticated take on business casual.
Outfit #6: Low Contrast Casual
Keep it casual in a t-shirt, shorts, and white sneakers. It’s perfect for those hot summer days. This look works because of the low contrast between the hues of the yellow t-shirt and khaki shorts.
Outfit #7: Easy Breezy Blue
For another laid-back look, swap out the yellow tee and sneakers for a blue tee and espadrilles - the quintessential laid back summer shoe. Pro Tip: The key to looking great in a t-shirt is a perfect fit.
Outfit #8: Colorful Business Casual
Being casual doesn’t mean you have to live in t-shirts. Wearing a button down with lightweight chinos will elevate your look without making you overheat. If you're a slim guy, be sure to wear a slim fit shirt.
Outfit #9: A Modern Classic
For a breezy summer night, layer our Harrington jacket over a yellow tee with light wash jeans. The low contrast between the pale blue, pastel yellow, and tan jacket add visual height to the wearer.
Outfit #10: Summer Smart Casual
For a dressier take on the Harrington jacket, pair it with chinos, a light blue button up, and blue suede driving mocs (skip the socks). Add a belt to complete the look.
Outfit #11: Elevated Denim
Looking for another way to wear your denim button-down? Button it up. And pair it with khaki chinos and loafers. Roll up your sleeves, add a watch, and sport shades for ultimate cool guy style.
Outfit #12: Summer Stripes
During summer - especially when traveling - it’s important to pack lightweight layers. Hot days and cool nights mean a Harrington jacket is a must on your packing list. Wear it with a striped polo, chinos, and sneakers. These stripes work for us “not-so-tall” guys, because they’re not too wide.
Summer is the perfect time to sport lightweight, comfortable clothing. This season is ideal for stocking up on tees, polos, and shorts. Whatever summer outfit suits you, we hope you wear it in good style and good health.
