Summer is here and so is its effortless dress code. I'm here to help you get prepared for the sizzling season ahead. We'll examine quirky t-shirts, calm khakis, statement jackets, and footwear. Furthermore, we'll look at tailored suiting fit for a pharaoh. 


Go with a tee because it's a breeze. T-shirts are synonymous with casual attire, but when paired with trousers and leather sandals or low-top sneakers t-shirts translate into effortless.  


Windbreakers are lifesaver for your summer fits. Firstly, windbreakers protect you from the elements such as the rain, sun and windchill. Second, they are light enough for travel because you can easily stuff them into your weekender or gym bag and it's wrinkle friendly. Finally, due to windbreaker's weightlessness they  play a similar role as a t-shirt, and is more for a casual look. 

Low top sneakers are a mainstay for summer weather. Lop top sneakers allow for breathability and minimal constrictions unlike it's counterpart, high-top sneakers. No shade to high-tops, but the less material the better if you're in a hot region and climate. 


When uptown and downtown peacefully coexist. Loose, airy and carefree is the look when it comes to button-ups for the summer season. 

Opted for cotton, linen or silky tops.

Your button-up shirt should allow for breathability while the temperature is on the rise.

If you want a suave and suggestive look, then unbutton the top two buttons, exposing your décolletage. This adds to your carefree disposition. 

Couple your button-up with a pair of cool khakis, denim or trousers for a dinner date outfit. 


Slide into summer style with a pair of leather sandals. Majestic black, rustic browns or whiskey colored cognac leathers will accentuate your casual look. Leather sandals can add a touch of sophistication if you do not want to don sneakers or loafers. 

 


Dressing well is a form of good manners.
— Designer Tom Ford

The vibrancy of these African tailored suits screams summer vibes. What makes them great is their versatility. For instance, the cotton is breathable and light enough for scorching heat. You can wear them with loafers, sneakers or sandals. You could go with socks or no socks, tie or no tie, button-up or t-shirt. All in all, a smart, thoughtful outfit for a man looking to express his personality and effortless aesthetic
