What A Gent’s Wearing: Relaxed Summer Styling

IMG_2515

Unlike last week’s outfit, which was all about the statement, this week is more about relaxed styling that offers a more subtle look. The main focus of the ensemble is contrast between the fitted beige chinos and the dark v-neck jumper, this not only trims the lower torso but also broadens the shoulders and chest. The v-neck cut helps sharpen the outfit with the aid of the smart black shoes, however this can just as easily be paired with navy espadrilles or brown boat shoes provided you use a brown belt instead of black. This look is perfect for dinner out with friends or a warm summer evening walk through town, yet it is an incredibly simply put together piece and very comfortable to wear. View Post

5 Summer Style Items Every Gent Needs

As the summer months are at our doorstep and men everywhere are getting ready to enjoy the heat, we decided to put together a list of some summer style essentials that every gentleman needs whether you’re at home or abroad this summer.

1) Boat Shoes

Throwing out those old flip-flops in favour of some more stylish boat shoes is the first step in achieving that gentleman summer look. Worn in both formal and casual settings these can easily add a Mediterranean feel to your outfit whilst keeping you cool in the summer heat. Russell & Bromley do a fine selection for around £100 or if you’re operating on a slightly smaller budget you can check out River Island’s range for around half the price. The Rust Red boat shoe (above) is a favourite over here at The Male Stylist. View Post
