Summer Fashion Guide For Men

Summer fashion for men is drastically different from women. While women can afford to shed their clothes to certain extent, men are still bound by rules of propriety. A lady can turn up at a formal event wearing short dress. But a man can hardly wear shorts to a cocktail party. So summer fashion for men keeps them covered and yet stylish & cool.

Men have to wear t-shirts and shirts even in summer. But they still have to wear full trousers and sometimes even wear bow ties. Men can wear collar t-shirts with their trousers for semi-formal events. But for strictly formal occasions, there is nothing better than linen shirts for men. Linen shirts for men can keep them cool in the summer heat.

In 2013, summer fashion for men has taken a few interesting leaps. First of all, we have some really cool summer colours for men like grey, aqua and navy blue. In general, blues are in.
