Summer style steals for men

This summer is all about experimentation for men. And, if you are reading this then it is time you make the much-needed shift in your priorities – now. Allow your style quotient to top the agenda and you shouldn’t feel apologetic about it at all. It is time you treat yourself as equals in every sense of the word. Here’s a list of summer essentials for men to keep them looking cool and chic at the same time, all season long.

This summer dress up and dare the sun as if you are a way ahead than the ladies. Here’s a check list for your summer wardrobe.

Lots of linens

A summer favourite, linen is the fabric to brave the sun. When heat and humidity bug you together it is important that you opt for something as light and breathable as linens. This warm weather fabric can actually give your summer wardrobe a whole lot of variety. Schedule your days at work with a linen shirt and dress down for a soiree in a pair of crease-free linen pants. You are good to go.

On a hot sunny day, who wouldn’t want to slip into a T-shirt? There is no crime in doing that. But, how about adopting the tee with a whole new dimension? Collarless Henley T-shirts with a button placket can offer so much more to your wardrobe. Made for the summer season, they are easy, extremely comfortable and super stylish.

Summery shorts

Gone are the days when men had only a handful of options to dress up. In fact, today they can completely ditch the pants and instead don a cool pair of shorts to rock a hot summer day. Remember, it isn’t that easy to find a perfect fit. Hog your way through different sizes and fit, once you nail the perfect one for your body type – buy them. Further, you can experiment with texture, material and colours to enhance your look.

Weather watch

A look without a wrist watch is like a movie without any climax. Yeah! A watch really does that to your look. Get an envious nato strap watch and let the sweat feel bad throughout the summer season. It is a quintessential summer accessory that adds character to your look without much ado.

Bag the look

Perfect your look with an over-sized bag and walk through a hectic day at work like a fashion-forward man. Designer brand like Nappa Dori have some great options to suit every style.

Shoe power

It is time you shelve your sneakers until autumn returns and get out with the newest edition of shoes – the boat shoe. They are in vogue for many reasons. First up, they are easy-to-wear and slip out of. They can turn around your look in seconds and get you the attention for all the good reasons. The boat shoe in different colours and styles is definitely a head turner.

Pamper a bit

Sweat out but remember to rejuvenate too. While it is important that you workout through the summer, it is mandatory that you indulge in some self-pampering too. In that case, the coolest option is to get yourself registered to Fitpass – a service that will not let you miss you a single workout session with access to a 1000 gyms operating in Delhi-NCR, all with just one subscription. To top it all, brands like Ustraa from Happily Unmarried and Kiehl’s can offer you an array of beauty and skincare products that can give your basics a whole new face. Remember, to pull off any look you need to really look good and feel good.

How to take care of your boots

You must have spent a lot of money on your suede or leather boots because let’s face it, good boots are not cheap and cheap boots are not good. Therefore, you also have to spend a little time in taking care of your companions which help you step out and walk confidently. Maintaining your boots is not difficult or expensive, but it needs to be done at regular intervals. Save your shoes from being mistreated with regular maintenance and your feet will love you for this because the better you look after them, the longer they’ll last. So, here are some easy tips and tricks on how to take care of your boots by YouTuber Chriselle Lim who is a fashion blogger and stylist.

#1 Keep your shoes in the shoe box

Don’t throw away your shoe boxes. Instead make some space for them in your closet and keep your shoes in the box. This will protect your shoes from dirt and keep them in the best condition possible.

#2 Feed your shoes with some papers

Grab some tissues or newspaper and stuff them into your long boots. This will help in maintaining their shape and also prevent them from creasing.

#3 Invest in a suede eraser and welt brush

Suede shoes get dirty very easily and you need to clean them up every time you step into them. It’s better to buy a nice suede eraser and a welt brush to remove the lint and dirt from your shoes.

#4 Clean your shoes with lemon and water

Mix equal parts of lemon and water and clean your leather shoes with this mixture. The acidity in lemon helps break down the dirt and grime.

#5 Add shine to your suede boots with a few drops of olive oil

This is an organic method that will give your boots a shiny finish. Put a few drops of olive oil on a piece of cotton cloth and wipe your shoes.

11 suit commandments every man should follow!

Formal dressing can be a bit of a pain for some, but donning that perfect ensemble with just the right accessories can make any man look dapper. Sir Barney Stinson once said – “Suit up!” (We recommend staying away from the ducky tie).

And with the right details in the right place you can make heads turn. For those who are not too sure about the ‘details’ we’re talking about here; take a look at this set of eleven suit commandments every man should follow!

1. Thou shalt always wear a tie with the exact same lapel as the size of your tie.

An uneven tie represents all the wrong things with your suit. Make sure your tie is in a darker shade than your shirt so it stands out!

2.Thou shalt wear cufflinks that are visible even with a jacket over your shirt.

Cufflinks are cool and classy. Make sure your shirt’s sleeve is a little longer than your jacket’s, so the cufflinks are visible. Keep experimenting with various designs of cufflinks and keep it fresh.

3. Thou shalt invest in double breasted jackets!

Double breasted jackets are much cooler than the traditional ones. They’re fashionable and make a statement with the perfect fit adding to your dapper look!

4. Thou shalt match your accessories!

Make sure your shoes go well with your belt. You don’t want to be the “funny guy” for the wrong reasons.

5. Thou shalt invest in a tailored suit.

You and your suit will only look good together if it’s a perfect fit. If you’re buying yourself a pre-stitched suit make sure you check the comfort and size from your shoulders. Remember, if it’s not comfortable, it’s not worth it.

6. Thou shalt wear a contrasting pocket square.

A pocket square is your attention grabbing device. Be creative with it, experimentation is the key to style. Do not, we repeat DO NOT match your pocket square with your shirt.

7. Thou shalt not button your three-piece suit.

If you’re wearing a three-piece suit, make sure you don’t button the jacket, keep the vest buttoned-up. Almost every man breaks this silent rule and not everyone can pull it off.

8. Thou shalt invest in matching socks.

Your socks should be matching and long enough to cover your legs when you sit down. Plain solid coloured socks are passé. Get printed socks to make your look even better!

Source

9. Thou shalt position your tie perfectly!

Your tie should be touching the waistband or can be slightly short. But refrain from making it too long or too short. Remember, an ill-looking tie spoils the entire show.

Source

10. Thou shalt open your jacket while sitting.

When sitting, unbutton your jacket to prevent it from being ruined.

Source

11. Thou shalt invest in double vented jackets.

Single vents on jackets are too old fashioned. Double vents are slightly more comfortable and look cooler!

Now that you know what to do, make sure you keep these 11 commandments in your head when you suit up!
