7 Days of Summer Essentials - Finale!!

The Linen Suit!!!  A must have for those summer weddings and cool evenings.  A great staple that will always be worn and can be mixed and matched.  The linen fabric is lighter and much more breathable than a wool suit.  Also you can get them with no lining or half lining on the inside, they also come fully lined.  The only thing to note with a linen suit is that is is much more prone to wrinkle, which is fine as it is part of the character of linen. 

SuitSupply Napoli Linen Suit - $399.00 (US)

Indochino Linen Suit - $379.00 (CAN)

7 Days of Essential Summer Style - Day 6!!

Rope Belt!!  Or alternately a Canvas belt.  Either way you'll need a more casual look to with your shorts or chino's.  The Rope belt has made it's comeback last season but like everything else, the play with color is big this year especially with the canvas belts.  So if you don' have one yet, have some fun and get yourself one with a little color!

The Beige color is a safe bet and blends well with most color combinations.

The Navy Blue works well with light color clothing combinations.

7 days of Essential Summer Style - Day 5!!

Shades!!!  Perhaps one of the most important accessory you will need.  It will define your overall appearance!  I always stress to have two pairs of sunglasses one in black & one in Havana (brown).  Depending on what your wearing you'll need to color match it.  A third pair of sport sunglasses is also quite advisable.  Contrary to what others say never go cheap on your sunglasses, get yourself a name quality and it will last a life time!  So you're asking whats in style this summer, well.......the big aviator style sunglasses have had their popularity run and the wayfarers are starting to get old.  Don't get me wrong these are great classic styles that will always be in.  But the style making the comeback are the keyholed or often referred to as the Steve McQueen Persol.

Either way sunglasses with a noticeable frame is were it's heading!

7 Days of Summer Essentials - Day 4!

NATO watch strap!  As with everything else this summer some bold colors on the watch strap look great! The military look of the NATO watch strap has always been around, but this summer it's a must have accessory.  So if you don't feel like buying a new watch you can just buy the straps and retrofit one of your existing watches.  Pictured below are the George Jenson NATO watch straps which sell for about $65.00.

Or you can get yourself a new watch - Seiko has a few automatics out in their Seiko 5 line which come with some colorful watch straps and the prices can be found online anywhere from $120 - $180.

Seiko SNZG15 pictured above - approx retail $170.00

Summer Essentials - Day 2

Colored Chinos!!!  Bright colors are the rage for this summer, so put your khaki colored chinos away and get yourself something in the red, blue, yellow, etc....have fun with it.  This also applies to linen pants which I think are much better in the hot weather than chinos, but either way, get out and grab some attention.  Oh and white, yeah it's still in but it's starting to get old, but for the beach it's still a classic.

7 Days of Summer Essentials!!

Boat Shoes!!   While these have been the trend for the past two summers, this year it's hot to have them in bright colors, Reds, yellow, blue, green, etc.  But what is also coming into style is having only the sole of the shoe with a bright color, this is also being done with oxfords.  Either way get yourself some brightly colored shoes for the season!
