Firstly, apologies for getting that song stuck in your head for what'll likely be the rest of the day. Secondly, to get to the actual contents of this piece and why this title was chosen in the first place: it seems designers this year cannot stop tripping – to resorts, that is. Or so would their latest collections on SSENSE have you believe.
Because menswear for the sunnier portion of 2024 revolves largely around the pink sunsets, deep blue waves, and tropical cocktail vegetation we yearn for as temperatures slowly inch their way up the thermometer.
Be it psychedelic patterns, silky button-ups, or pastel denims – apparently, in fashion, these coming months are what hammock daydreams are made of.
This list below shall therefore serve as a prism into life beyond your desk. Let island life befall you, and give into these vibe-y, vacation-y season standouts; so you can serve everything from Beach Boy to beach rave realness, on holiday or otherwise.
NOAH Neon Floral Polo
As has been pointed out ad nauseaum, regular florals are not particularly groundbreaking for spring. We'd argue though that these fluorescent florals just might be.
MISBHV Orange Shirt
Wear this flowy shirt and be the sunset personified. Hang it in front of your nearest window, and you'll think you're looking at the orange horizon. Either way, mediterranean happy-hour-feels guaranteed.
ADERERROR Blue Long Sleeve
Not everyone needs or wants their warm weather wardrobe to be as themed as the picks above or some below. If this applies to you, opt alternately for this electric blue long sleeve, evocative of surfer and scuba neoprenes.
Casablanca Silk Shirt
Seaside travels require a Hawaiian or Caribbean bowling shirt, such as this languid silk short sleeve by Casablanca. Their countless iterations of the pool chair classic often come in sets with bottoms, too, so you can fully unleash your inner retiree.
Collina Strada Doodle Cargo Pants
Flora, fauna, and whatever it is that decks the backdrop on Spongebob Squarepants all plaster these Collina Strada cotton cargos. Breathable, lightweight and wide-legged, this denim trouser'll be a starfish(?)-emblazoned friend to those bored of board shorts.
WHO DECIDES WAR Embroidered Blue Jeans
If you've just about had it with Quiet Luxury, then these flares are for you. Joyously maximalist in every which aspect, this jean is ripped, stitched, and embellished, featuring a mosaic of faded flowers and sun rays on both legs.
CAMPERLAB Trompe-L'œil Jeans
Another unapologetically unsubtle pant comes from CAMPERLAB. Though upon first glance they remind of tie-dye, a second squinting of the eyes unveils an intricate trompe-l'œil print that distracts from where the actual seams and pockets are.
Stolen Girlfriends Club Cardigan
In-keeping with the former's gradient sundown color scheme, this cardigan will come in handy after nightfall, when chilly ocean breezes sweep through palm trees.
Marni Sweater
Similarly, Marni's pullover will shield you from a coastal evening's sudden shivers, without dulling, however, your vibrant Isla Bonita get-up.
LU'U DAN Red & Black Shell Jacket
Had enough of lounging around? In the mood for clubbing post-cabana? Throw over this graphic bomber and dance the night away. But be sure to grab one of those hotel buffet mimosas upon return, to cure the impending hangover.
