Spring and Summer Menswear: Expert Advice on Men's Summer Clothing
Men who excel at dressing up may find dressing down is a bit of a challenge. The sensibilities that lend themselves to impeccable professional style can make a dressed down spring or summer outfit look out of place. Our guide to men's spring and summer clothing will help you choose outfits that make you look casual, comfortable and classy.
1. Khaki Pants and Shorts
When it comes to wearing shorts for a day at the beach or on the links, you can't go wrong with khaki. If you want to be more adventurous, try plaid or madras shorts.
2. Stays Cool Polo Shirts
The great thing about starting with khaki shorts is that you can wear any color on top. Our Stays Cool polo shirts come in more than a dozen bright summer colors. These stylish shirts are even designed to wick moisture away, keeping you cool and comfortable.
3. Vacation in Paradise Shirts
If you want something a little dressier than a polo, check out our VIP Take It Easy collection of summer menswear. These lightweight sport shirts and linen shirts come in a variety of patterns and solids. Have these on hand for spring and summer daytime activities that can lead to a night on the town.
4. Raincoats and Spring Jackets
You need to be prepared for the elements, even in spring and summer. Make sure you're not reaching for a winter jacket when it rains. New summer clothing trends emerge every year, resulting in new jacket designs and looks. Pick up a new raincoat or spring jacket now and be sure you're always ready for the weather.
5. David Leadbetter Golf Apparel
If you're an avid golfer, you want to look the part. We carry a line of specially designed performance golf wear that allows the fabric to breathe and move with your swing. Browse our collection of trousers, knit shirts, shorts and even zip-up sweaters and fleece for those cooler days.
6. Business Casual Apparel
Our men's summer clothing lines also include business casual wear that is perfect for work. Instead of navy blue blazers and dark red ties, go for lighter spring colors. Try a light tan, sage or blue sport coat paired with dress slacks and a white polo. If you're in need of a shirt and tie, shop our shirts with a light windowpane or pinstripe patterns and pair with a spring-like tie in white, pink or purple.
