With the summer officially here, men of all ages should update their wardrobe to reflect the latest trends and styles.

Solid-Color T-Shirt
A solid-color t-shirt is a simple yet versatile garment that’s perfect for the summer season. It’s lightweight, goes well with most pants or shorts, and compliments your body type — when worn correctly. But don’t just buy a cheap 10-pack of white t-shirts from your local Wal-Mart. Choose a high-quality, name-brand t-shirt that’s properly fitted for your body.
Fitted Polo
In addition to a solid-color t-shirt, you should also include a fitted polo in your summer wardrobe. Polo shirts are the “go to” shirt for many men, and rightfully so: they can be dressed up, dressed down, or anywhere in between. Opting for a fitted polo shirts enhances both its look and comfort, as fitted polos contour to the shape of your body to provide a cleaner and more sophisticated appearance.
Linen Shirt
Linen shirts are a particularly smart choice for the summer because of their “breathable” material. Linen is a softer, lighter variation of cotton, making it ideal for warm summer weather. Linen shirts also have a unique appearance that seems to “flow” better than other fabrics and styles. Whether you are going to the beach or simply running around town, you can’t go wrong with a stylish linen shirt this summer.
Chinos
Chinos are a slightly dressier alternative to khakis. Unlike khakis, the stitching is typically hidden in chinos. So if you’re looking for a semi-formal style of pants for the summer, try wearing a pair of chinos. They typically cost the same, but offer a more formal, cleaner appearance. You can find chinos available in many different colors and fits.
Dress in Layers
Just because it’s the summer doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t wear layers. On the contrary, wearing multiple layers is a great way to improve the dynamics of your appearance. You can wear a base layer in one color, for instance, and then an over layer in a different color. Assuming you choose the right colors, this creates a unique appearance that’s sure to turn heads.
Following the tips listed here are guaranteed to improve your look this summer.
