Light up your weekend style.⚡️

Greetings Gents,

Listen! Summer style requires a certain level of creativity. It’s hot, it’s humid, and in certain instances wet and rainy. But that shouldn’t mean we resort to looking like a slob, or losing our sense of style. Especially on the weekends. So I thought it’d be perfect timing to break down a sexy evening look, that can take you from date night to sophisticated night life, but in effortless style that turns heads. 

1. Lethal Footwear.

With a summer outfit, it’s a great idea to start with your shoe choice. Whether it’s a pair of sneakers, loafers, sandals or even boots, your footwear will often dictate the direction for the remainder of your outfit. Will it be classy, casual ensemble, or somewhere in between? And for the season, it’s really hard to beat a pair of two-toned loafers. Although it’s a year round staple, this style of loafer opens a world of possibilities for your styling endeavors, as they bring a ton of contrast and attention, at a time when working with layers or multiple items of clothing can be quite challenging. You just need to decide between a lug or dress sole, and a brown or black color palette.

2. The Battle Suit.

Whether it’s a single-breasted or double-breasted option, this is your sign to wear a breathable lightweight suit this summer. Especially in the evening when temperatures are much cooler, or for an indoor outing where the A/C will be on full blast. Unlike any other season, in the summer, ‘any’ suit color is fair game. You just have to dial in on tailoring🪡. Make sure your jacket and trousers are properly fitted. Not too tight, but loose enough to beat the heat. You may check out our suit tailoring guide here, if you need help with perfectly tailoring your suit. You’ll notice I’ve opted to keep things simple on Aaron, with this classic single-breasted suit pairing in Houndstooth.

3. The Flair.

Nothing brings a casually styled suit to life, like the beautiful pairing of a print patterned camp collar shirt. Especially with the shirt collar sitting over your jacket lapels, for a bold display of personality. You don’t have to overthink it. Remember, the goal is to make things interesting, so think about adding a shirt with complimenting color or contrast, that flows well with your suit. For this outfit, the Navy Hibiscus camp shirt was a great choice, thanks to the blue and yellow floral print, making the entire outfit a bit more vibrant, but without being over the top.

4. Mastering Accessory

As always, the right accessories can be a game changer for any outfit, from rings, to eyewear, bracelets and the right wrist watch. Tinted frames will always set you apart from the crowd, and a leather or stainless steel band are great options for a summer appropriate wrist watch. When in doubt, just remember, simplicity is key.

And that’s it. A killer outfit for any summer evening, that’s guaranteed to turn heads and will have everyone thinking… “Hey, that guy is hands down the best dressed guy in the room”. The ladies, or your lady….will absolutely love it. Now need I say more? Hope you enjoyed this read, and please kindly keep the suggestions coming. Until next time. 🫡
