6 Fashion Mistakes Men Make: Summer Edition

Sad to say, not all men are born with a sense or style. In fact, far too many are fashion offenders and are in need of a little tutorial to dress better. Maybe it’s the heat that makes us less fashion-forward? But whatever it is, one thing’s for sure: it’s easy to come up with a list of men’s mistakes when it comes to summer fashion. Don’t worry though, there are easy solutions to such fashion faux pas!

Tight Tops
Back in 2012, there was the rise of the Tank Top Bros. (If you haven’t heard about it, count yourself lucky.) These boys claim that wearing tank tops isn’t a choice but a seasonal lifestyle. Because it’s so hot outside, they’re forced to wear something sleeveless (but they’re actually strutting their stuff in their tight tops). Truth of the matter is, tank tops are meant to be worn as undershirts!

Light colored V-neck tees or a polo shirt are probably better choices, bro. But a tank top as a stand-alone piece? Don’t even think about doing that again.

Socks and Sandals: Not the Best Combo
We try to keep our feet warm with the socks but in this warm weather, socks are a big DON’T most especially when you pair them with this season’s footwear trends: men’s sandals, drivers and boat shoes.

It’s OK to wear socks but if you are going to wear sandals with them, please leave them at home.

Bye Bye, Cargo shorts
Throw your cargo shorts away because those were only acceptable two decades ago. The huge pockets bow out at the sides, forcing the shorts to sag. A well-fitting pair of cargo shorts can look great but don’t wear one that hangs below your hips and is 3 sizes too large.

Slimmer cuts, like your favorite pair of jeans and everyday khaki are fine choices. Besides, you’ve been wearing those shorts since you were 10. Face it bro, you just need to let them go.

The Back-of-Head Sunglasses Dude
Why would anyone rock his sunnies behind his head? How hard is it to let your sunglasses hang from your shirt collar or just put them in your pocket? This is crossing the line already. Hate to break it to you but you don’t got swag.

Way Too Strong, Bro
Wearing heavy cologne is just too much musk for summer. A strong scent worn in a sweat-inducing weather may be too nauseating. Do yourself (and others) a favor and switch to something light, lean and of course, fresh. Snap up a bottle of citrus notes instead of that woodsy scent you wear all the time and the world will be better place.

Hawaiian Shirts? Seriously?
Unless you are actually in Hawaii, you don’t have to put this on. Like, seriously. Wear anything else BUT this.

Admit it, many guys are fashion challenged. Good taste in clothes just isn’t a guy’s strength but if they’re determined enough to adjust their wardrobe, they’ll be much closer to having a clean style record!
