1. The Polo That Fits
A common mistake men make is trying to size down to get the perfect fit, resulting in a shirt that fits in some areas but is too small overall. Look for a different brand or fit, or have a tailor alter it for less. I personally avoid wearing polo shirts except for very formal business occasions, and for those occasions I prefer button-down shirts.
The Not Pique Polo
When an outfit is limited to only a shirt, belt, shorts, watch, and shoes, it’s easy to get caught in an uninteresting, boring loop that makes you feel like you’re a different Big Box sales associate, depending on the color of the day. To counteract the negative ill-fitting look imparted on us by two decades of corporate uniforms we have to hammer in hard on the details.
The Fitted Flat Front Short in Multiple Colors
At the end of the day, there’s not very much you can do to dress up a pair of shorts. Especially men’s shorts – they’ll always be strictly casual. But that doesn’t mean all shorts are the same. So for events like backyard BBQs or meeting your buddies for a drink at an outdoor bar, opt for a pair of chino-style shorts. Then, pair your shorts with a proper shirt to really clean up your look.
#5 Business Casual
There comes a time in every man’s summer when shorts and a t-shirt just won’t cut it. So, when those beach weddings or business dinners roll around, your warm-weather wardrobe needs to include an option that’s dressier than daytime but still casual enough for summer.
