Summer Style Workshop: How To Go From Boardroom To Bar Without Breaking A Sweat

It's a lot easier than you'd expect.

January 13, 2020

Summer style is tricky as it is simple. The key to pulling it off effortlessly is by letting the outfit speak for itself with bright colours, a good fit and subtle textures. Here are three outfits to get you through the week from meetings to parties and fun in the sun.

Serious Business

Linen is lightweight, breathable and a seemingly obvious solution for summer, but it's notorious for creasing easily — not ideal. A fabric blend of linen and cotton encapsulates the best qualities of both – lightweight, breathable and easily ironed, making it your best bet. Ankle-length pants may seem like just a style aesthetic but it also helps keep you cool. Complete your look with a sophisticated dress watch and a bag to tote your daily necessities.

Summer is the time for sinning and getting away with anything and everything so put on a pair of cuffed Bermuda shorts and show off your masculine calves. Complete it with a pinstripe blazer and a pocket square for good measure.

Party On A Yacht

A tailored thigh-skimming high quality pair of swim shorts paired with a short-sleeved shirt makes for an excellent alternative to a plain old speedo. Straw hats add an element of style and also protect you from the sun's rays. Finish off the look with a pair of white leather shoes that's practical and chic.
