Men’s Style Guide For Summer 2016
As the summer of 2016 is coming sooner than you might think there are a couple of things you need to check out if you want to look stylish. The major trends for the spring suggested mixing traditional colors with modern shapes and spicing up the look with unusual accessories. Summer trends still stick to the retro vibe and you will be thrilled to see what we will be rocking in the hot months.
Bomber jacket is a must
Everyone willing to rock the retro look will be amazed to see the major trend for this summer – bomber jackets. What you should search for is a classic bomber jacket in a dark hue to nail the look. You can wear them both during the day and the night. You will look easy-going and if the weather gets bad you will stay warm. You can look smart around the office with this kind of jacket and matching formal trousers. Hitting the beach parties in the evening is ideal for wearing a bomber jacket with matching shorts. This is the new cool!
Get those shorts shorter than ever before
Along with the bomber jacket, you will love the latest “short shorts” trend for this summer. Short shorts are great for sweltering heat that lies ahead of us, as they will keep you cool. Go for bright colors – yellow, blue and green to look trendy at the beach or wear it a bit classier with button-down shirt and a short shorts in neutral colors.
Accessories are everything
Although the trends suggest comfortable looks and easy-going attitude, there is something you need to add to enhance the outfit. Choose accessories wisely. Green details such as sunglasses and hats will be major this year, also opt for jewelry in this color. What you need to rock the latest summer look is a quality leather belt. It will match the bomber jacket perfectly with a trendy short shorts. Go for quality leather goods that will last forever, instead of buying quick fixes just for this summer.
Trousers go wide
If you have to stay in the office during the summer months, do not despair! The thing that will keep your chin up is rocking the summer trend of wider legged trousers that will make everyone compliment you on the good taste in fashion you have. Ditch the shoes after working hours and pick up trainers to nail that comfortable look in no time!
We are so not over overalls
This summer we will be wearing overalls more than anything else. Alexander Wang introduced this trend and it soon became massive. Wear the dark jeans ones or black ones with a basic T-shirt to look effortless. Or if you are interested in spicing things up you should wear a printed shirt underneath to get the perfect boho inspired look.
Hats and caps
This summer you will stay protected from the heat and reflect what a fashionista you are if you purchase hats and caps that everyone is going mad about. Choose black or grey hats you can perfectly pair with dark overalls and be ready to be in the spotlight wherever you move!
As the summer of 2016 is coming soon, there are a lot of interesting trends you need to consider if you want to look stylish. Purchase quality items that will last for a long time and classic ones such as wide trousers. Rock the retro trend with overalls and bomber jacket and you will be the fashion icon of the year in no time!
