Men's summer shirts: how to choose them

How to dress in summer? That is the question we ask ourselves every morning when a lovely ray of sunshine lights up our windows.

Of course, we know how to put on swimming shorts and a t-shirt to go to the beach. But what about when you have to go to work during the summer season? 

Indeed, we far too often make summer drape rhyme with idleness. Yet, it is entirely possible to dress in summer with class and elegance.

To find out more, follow the guide lovingly concocted by LE CHEMISEUR® to always have a men's shirt perfectly chosen. 

The shirt in summer: dressing in summer 

In summer, we take off our shirts. Or almost. The idea is to lighten your mind and style by opting for easy-to-wear and airy pieces like the short-sleeved shirt or the lightweight shirt.

These summer pieces go well with Bermuda shorts and chinos, two timeless classics in which we advise you to invest.

To play with layering, we bet on a grey t-shirt dressed up with a chambray shirt, grey Bermuda shorts and a pair of loafers.

A perfect look for the city as well as for holidays!

Dare to embrace a festival of colours this summer

Are you one of those men who only swear by dark colours? It is time to broaden your range! Indeed, dark colours attract the sun and therefore... keep you too warm! Instead, opt for light shades such as white, pale grey, beige, light blue or even aqua green.

With this palette, you have the possibility to compose outfits that are pleasing to the eye. And above all, adapted to the season. You can opt for a pink poplin shirt, beige chinos and a pair of brown loafers.

To complete this style, we advise you to add a beautiful pink tie one shade darker than the shirt: success guaranteed!

Opt for airy fits and fabrics

If there is one thing we fear in summer, it is undoubtedly the heat... and perspiration. This is why less fitted cuts are in vogue: we opt for looser shirts to allow air to circulate and perspiration to evaporate. With this trick, sweat patches will be a thing of the past. The same applies to materials, where we favour fine, fluid fabrics with undeniable comfort. Among the favourites? Chambray, poplin and oxford, not forgetting the star of the season, linen!

A chambray or linen shirt accompanied by navy blue chinos and a beige waist will dress you in no time. On your feet, a pair of trainers and you are done: you have a comfortable drape for the summer!

Accessorising your summer drape

In summer, there is no question of closing the door on whimsy. Quite the contrary: it is precisely the moment when you can play with accessories, such as sunglasses or hats of all kinds.

For sunglasses, be sure to choose a frame that matches your skin tone.

The Panama hat is always in fashion and can be worn in the city as well as on holiday. For those who swear by ties, dare to use patterns and colours more than ever. After all, that is what summer is for, isn't it?

The LE CHEMISEUR® advice

Dare to wear elegant shorts, with piped pockets and matching waist for a contemporary and sophisticated look. And above all, prioritise comfort with natural materials that will protect you from the heat.
