Spring/Summer Style Upgrade

For the folks up north, days are becoming warmer and Spring is just around the corner.
Here in the tropics the upcoming April means bracing ourselves for the 35+ degrees Celsius weather as flowers go into full bloom.
So how do we stay stylish under the unbearable heat?
Well, it's about time to have a wardrobe update.

1. Colorize your wardrobe

2. Wear shorts

A lot of men are not into the idea of wearing shorts. Though a flat front cotton shorts that end above the knee can make any wearer look decently cool.


3. Lighter fabrics

This man manage to pull of a suit during a hot summer day because of lighter fabrics. Check out shirts and coats in cotton, linen, seersucker and tropical wool.

4. Wear Sunglasses


The Classic Rayban Aviators never goes out of style.

5. Solid colored t-shirts
As I posted before stay away from t-shirts with logos and graphic designs (especially skulls and fleur-de-lis). Opt to wear simple solid colored t-shirts.


6. Get a swimsuit that ends almost halfway up your thigh

7. Canvas Sneakers

Not only do they make your feet cool, they also have that laid back and stylish appeal.

8. Replace old underwear

Even I admit wearing underwear with a hole, so chances are you are still wearing your 5 year old underwear.


9. Wear cloth and woven belts

They look great with sneakers during the weekends.

10. Go sockless

As they say when you don't wear socks "Good news for your feet, bad news for your shoes."

  5. Yes we roughly have the same "Minima" layout.
    It's great for style blogs because it highlights the pictures. Other than that, I also don't want to bother changing the layout since this is the most basic layout. :D

  9. I mostly like your advice, but dislike sunglasses. Altogether. Whenever I see someone wearing them, I see someone desperetaly trying to be stylish. Don't you have similar thoughts sometimes?

  10. I need to take some of this advice. I dress very much the way everyone else seems to. Blending in is alright sometimes, but some flair would kick ass. I hope you keep schooling us!
