To get you on your way, we’ve put together an edit of essential summer styles, discussing where to go and how to style your shirts, shorts and sandals if you really want to get the most out of them this season.
Summer Shirts
Typically speaking, t-shirts offer the best opportunity for us to express ourselves and our personalities. A lot can be said about who we are and what we’re feeling, whether it be via imagery, colour or even a simple line of text. This summer, we want to use the opportunity to convey sentiments of jubilance and euphoria in an embracing of our long-awaited freedom from lockdown and restrictions. Our advice here is not too dissimilar to what we’ve said about selecting the perfect summer shirt: don’t be afraid to experiment with bold and vivid colour palettes (Valentino Flying Flowers Print T-Shirt) and nature-inspired floral graphics (Off-White Check Flowers Print Oversized T-Shirt) for a carefree bohemian vibe that helps to reestablish your connection with the great outdoors. Keep it loose and relaxed too if you’re going all day and want to stay comfortable and free of irritation.
Summer Shorts
We’re pretty much allowing free reign when it comes to this particular seasonal staple. It really should go without saying, but simply having a strong rotation of shorts in your summer wardrobe is essentially enough to get you the thumbs up from our style team. Once again, our advice is to really consider how much freedom of movement and air circulation your shorts allow, pushing the likes of Givenchy’s Black 4G Logo Jacquard Nylon Shorts and Palm Angels’ Black Track Shorts with Exodus Stripes closer to the tops our ‘want’ lists for the summer. That being said, however, your choice of shorts can certainly dictate the flavour of your overall outfit. Valentino’s Dark Grey Bermuda Shorts with Side Stripes, for instance, might be more suited to al fresco evening dinners, pairing nicely with a crisp white shirt and leather sandals for a sharp but easy smart-casual style.
