No More Breaking Sweats (Over What to Wear) in Summer
Whenever summer rolls around, anyone who's invested in their wardrobe will quite literally break a sweat over what to wear that doesn't make them (A) even sweatier and (B) look boring.
To alleviate those out there who identify with the above, MR PORTER and I have compiled a guide of summer basics that aren't actually that basic. Instead, these are pieces that'll be as easy to style as they are interesting to view.
Linens, laces, and denim add texture, color, and attitude to any warm-weather getup, without who's dressed in them running the risk of overheating or underperforming.
Aside from the fact that none of the materials mentioned has ever actually fallen out of fashion, they're also conveniently in fashion right now. So, you're welcome.
Who Said Evergreen Meant Edgeless?
LOEWE Paula's Ibiza Cap
Sun coverage begins with a proper SPF in the morning, and ends with a shielding headpiece...
Cutler and Gross Sunnies
... and matching eyewear, of course.
Corridor Lace Shirt
This breezy button up is a great example of how to put lace to use in men's clothing, for a top that is outside-of-the-box but nowhere near difficult to incorporate into one's seasonal everyday rotation.
Lemaire Oversized Denim Shirt
Similarly, this light, earthy denim wash will put to shame whoever made the claim that beige was boring. It's not the color, but the canvas or what it's combined with that'll dull it down. Lemaire would know nothing about this though.
Orlebar Brown Camp Collar Shirt
Even something as eccentric as a green short sleeve can function in a multitude of settings: beneath a blazer, for a cooler formal look if need be, or as a cover up over a tank for more leisurely strolls down side- or boardwalks.
Kartik Research Embroidered Shorts
Shorts are a contentious topic, with ongoing debates over when they're too short or too long. They've also done away with their reputation of being too casual, what with pleated, workwear, and even embroidered versions like this one available today.
LOEWE Paula's Ibiza Printed Silk Shorts
Not to mention the fun that can be had with an airy, graphic printed bottom half of a holiday or hot day's 'fit.
Mr. P Linen Shorts
And for a 360 foolproof's version, stick to something as classic as a creamy linen.
Castañer Espadrilles
Unless we just go for a straight up flip flop, the summeriest shoe of them all would probably be an Espadrille. But if you do 'em, do 'em right.
Polo Ralph Lauren Suede Sneakers
Suede's been on an absolute roll lately, as has everything Polo Ralph Lauren. Put your hands together then, I say.
