Summer fashion thread

[Slap My Jack]

Summer fashion for adult guys doesn't really vary that much.

About avoiding shorts, I generally take this approach as I think pants/jeans do look better. But I'm not going to look any better wearing hot clothes that have me sweating up a storm, so I make sure I have some shorts that work with my shirts.

T-shirts will never go out. Collared shirts of the polo variety as still fine. Button-down shirts are always a safe bet.

If you want something nice or trendy to wear out at night, then you're going to be working harder to find something that looks good on you. Again, button-down long-sleeve shirts are usually a safe bet. It depends more on where you're going out, and the crowd there.

It never hurts to drop by the bookstore and browse the men's fashion magazines (GQ, Details, etc.) and look for ideas that way. Sometimes you can just be conservative with jeans and a button-down shirt and then wear some trendy accessory like a ridiculous belt. Trendier [censored] tends to require you to put in the effort of trying on lots of stuff, unless you're so hot that everything looks good on you.

With sandals, I want to try to find something new in this area myself, something that looks a little more sophisticated. I also need new shoes. I'm pretty clueless about shoes in general.

i don't wear short sleeve shirts that are button down - i have a bunch of them, but every time i put them on i think they look dumb.

My friends and I consistently make fun of guys who wear button down short-sleeved shirts. Particularly if they are plaid.

I have tons of these kind of shirts, some with the front stuff, some that are just plain, I like these shirts for casual.

i really like plain solid colored short sleeve t-shirts (crew neck) to wear with jeans during the day. i have a couple of lacoste ones but can anyone recommend another good brand? i know you can get plain cheap solid tshirts anywhere but i prefer higher quality/more comfortable and durable material

SS, No undershirt.

FFK, I just bought a short sleeve madras checked shirt. Joke away!

krantz - buy american apparel t-shirts. there is not really a bettter combo of style, quality and value available. japanese company uniqlo makes good stuff too - not sure how widely available for the moment though.

all, i will later be taking/posting some pics.

i am looking for a pair of casual sunglasses for general summer activities and found a pair in a gas station that fit exactly what i was looking for:



of course, they're built like crap, i pretty much just bought them to take a picture of them so i could get suggestions for something similar but "nicer"

basically, i just want something simple, black, with big squarish lenses, any suggestions for around a hundred dollars?

I wear Wallabee's with jeans all the times. They're some of my favorites

I need a nice pair of black shoes that can be worn casually.
Thoughts on these ?

Feel free to counteroffer with anything from that site.

As it stands, I have a good pair of driving shoes, bapes and some timberlands but all are some variation of tan/brown.

actually, i have a pair of black wallabees as well but theyre kinda beat up.
