It’s been a while that summer has already started in India and
I might be little late to write about summer trends but it’s never too late to
write about it because there will always be another summer and it will always be
hotter than ever.
I would have finished this article may be two days back ,but
the heat was just killing me and if you are living in a humid city like Bombay
then nothing worse than that!!
And trust me writing is not easy, I have a whole new respect
for writers and literature people.
One thing we guys want in this hot and sweaty weather, is to
be comfortable. And perfect summer friendly clothes are very important.
Talking about summer friendly clothes, the most important thing
is the fabric or the material. The best fabrics for summer are natural,
authentic fabrics like cotton, linen, jute, khadi etc. Cotton is one of the
best-known natural fabrics. These natural materials might cost you a little
more than the synthetic fabrics but trust me you don’t want to wear synthetic
fabric and sweat like a pig!!
Cotton and jute will give you a simple and relaxed look and linen
is more luxurious and comfortable.
You can definitely wear cotton or linen shirts at work .short
sleeved shirts are better option than wearing a long sleeved shirt and folding
it later on to look clumsy. You can also wear cotton trousers and to be honest
they look better than any other trousers if they fit perfectly. Lighter colors are better to reflect sunlight you will feel less heat in lighter colors then the
brighter ones. Texture and patterns, like checks and stripes, will help
disguise the sweat marks.
Avoid taking a bag pack to work, it will leave a huge sweat
mark on your back. Instead you can carry a formal messenger bag which will look
trendier as well
If you are going for a casual outing, shorts are the best. My
personal favorites .If I could, I would have worn shorts everywhere .One thing
you should mind is the fit and the length of the shorts. The best lengths for the shorts are exactly
on your knee level, 1 or 2 inch long or short is fine but never go beyond that.
It will look bad, just bad. And I know you guys won’t do it but don’t wear skin
tight shorts it doesn't always look good.
That reminds me, just avoid wearing skin fit cloths. They will
make you feel and look uncomfortable.To pair up with your shorts you can always wear simple plain V-neck
or round neck T-shirts. But you can wear a casual shirt with it to just dress it
up a little. Pair it up with some slip-ons or boat shoes,that would look good.you can always
wear this attire for a movie or for a coffee or hanging out with friends. You can also
wear colorful, funky men’s tank tops with shorts for shopping or on the beach, it looks
really cool.
Wearing right shoes during summer is very important. You don’t want your feet to swat and smell bad. Avoid wearing tight shoes .if you are not wearing socks i.e. when you wear loafers,make sure your loafers are made of such material that absorbs moist. And if you are wearing socks then wear a CLEAN pair of socks guys!!
I don’t feel the need to tell you guys but wear a pair of
sunglasses to protect your eyes (Which one you should wear….. coming up soon in
next post).
And don’t hesitate to use sunscreen, it’s your skin and you gotta
protect it. There is nothing feminine or less manly about protecting your skin.
You can use trendy caps or hats to cover your head to protect it from the sun.For a casual outfit you can use bandanas ,tie it up around your head in different ways.
Avoid over accessorizing .wear what is necessary, like a watch.
Don’t overdo it, you will just feel hot and itchy at unnecessary places.Wear only if you are comfortable with it.
Carry
a bottle of deodorant use it whenever necessary.If you smell bad and you look sweaty and uncomfortable and
what could be worse than that??
Be confident about yourself and don't be insecure.Your confidence adds extra plus points to your personality and the whole outfit
Keep it natural and keep it clean. Don’t let the summer actually
be sad.
