Summer is upon us, and it’s time to embrace long, hazy days and warmer climes.

If you’re a fan of fashion, a new season is a great excuse to experiment with different trends and looks. In this guide, we’ll shine a spotlight on the hottest summer styles for the man in your life.

Summer brights

This summer is all about boosting dopamine levels and dressing to feel good. Warmer weather and events like outdoor parties and festivals provide the perfect opportunity to be more playful and outgoing when it comes to colours, prints and patterns. The spring/summer catwalks were awash with neons, bold prints and colourful pieces that are guaranteed to pop on a sunny day. Go all-out with a jazzy co-ord or adopt a more subtle approach by injecting splashes of colour with a printed shirt or patterned trousers paired with more understated trousers and tops. For those who aren’t feeling brave enough to experiment with audacious clothing just yet, adding statement accessories is a brilliant way to embrace the trend without stepping out of their comfort zone. Think a printed cap, a bright tie with a more understated suit for the races or a wedding, or a bold bag. 

Classic tees

Every man needs a collection of classic tees they can call upon when temperatures rise. From eye-catching additions to basics to wear every day and designer pieces that will never go out of fashion like an Alexander McQueen T shirt, it’s beneficial to review and update your collection every summer. Add tees to complement seasonal trends and look for items that will work perfectly with clothes you already own, as well as tops that make a statement on their own. The beauty of having a selection of t-shirts for the summer months is being able to dress outfits up or down effortlessly. From tees with tailored suits for work to the everyday t-shirts and shorts combo, you can adapt your look for every occasion. 

The Wild West

Fans of cowboy hats, fringing, suede and double denim, rejoice! The Wild West is a huge trend for men this summer. Channel your inner Billy the Kid and take inspiration from the catwalk for your summer wardrobe. Look out for tasselled jackets, fringed bags and sleeveless shirts and add accessories, including a Stetson and cowboy boots. 

The colour purple

Purple is having a moment this summer. Available in a dazzling range of shades from delicate lilacs to rich plums and vibrant magenta, there’s scope to inject subtle or vivid colour into your warm-weather collection. Opt for printed shirts, plain purple tees or chic, bright blazers or baggy suit trousers. You can layer colours or team shades of purple with black or white for a more subtle look.
