Summer Fashion Tips: What to Wear and What to Avoid
Summer is finally here, and with temperatures on the rise, it’s time to update our wardrobes for the warmer weather. But fear not, as The Sun’s fashion team is here to guide you through the do’s and don’ts of summer attire for both men and women.
For Men:
Do’s:
1. Linen Shirts: Every man should own a linen shirt for those hot summer days. Stick to a maximum of three undone buttons and pair with structured items like denim.
2. Dark T-shirts: Hide sweat patches by opting for dark-colored t-shirts such as navy or black.
3. Trainers: Stick to comfortable trainers or plimsolls to avoid unsightly hairy toes and unkempt nails.
4. Chino Shorts: Choose chino shorts that sit just above the knee for a stylish summer look.
Don’ts:
1. Co-ords: Avoid garish prints and colors, as well as shiny fabrics that make you look try-hard.
2. Socks and Sandals: Steer clear of this fashion faux pas, as socks and sandals are a big no-no.
3. Going Topless: Save the topless look for your own garden, as public displays of half-naked bodies are not ideal.
4. Swim Trunks Out: While comfortable, wearing swim trunks as outerwear can lead to wardrobe malfunctions.
For Women:
Do’s:
1. White Clothing: White reflects sunlight and heat, keeping you cool and chic during a heatwave.
2. Prepare for Extremes: Opt for loose co-ords that will keep you cool and covered in unpredictable weather.
3. Cover Up: Stay cool in light, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen, opting for flowy midi skirts or wide-leg trousers.
4. Wear Shorts: Choose the right length shorts for a stylish summer look.
Don’ts:
1. Show Your Bra Straps: Keep your bra straps hidden for a classy look.
2. Crochet Clothing: While trendy, crochet clothing can lead to awkward tan lines and discomfort in the heat.
3. Espadrilles: Avoid espadrilles as they are no longer in fashion and have been deemed “the granny sandal”.
4. Bandeau Style Tops: Bandeau tops may lead to wardrobe malfunctions and constant readjustment throughout the day.
Remember these do’s and don’ts when updating your summer wardrobe to stay stylish and comfortable during the hot weather. Whether you’re enjoying a day at the beach or a casual outing in the city, these tips will help you look your best all summer long.
