Only Fashion

This summer's fashion styles are a mixture of stunning oriental and floral patterns to bold stripes and checks, tuxedos and suits to swinging sixties styles, matte polka dots to shimmering metallic evening dresses. Even though the assortment is vast, I am going to concentrate on the top 5 styles this season that are guaranteed to get you noticed!

Sixties
The swinging sixties are back in fashion. With colours becoming even more bold and vibrant and the mini skirt creeping its way back in distinctly, it is not surprising that this free flowing, carefree style has made its return with great pride. Pleated minis are a cute addition to any fashionistas wardrobe and with the weather becoming more friendly towards them why not let it shine and show it off in style. Even that long sleeve, cotton tie-dye top which has been hiding away all winter will be a welcome change this season.

Metallic
A particular favourite in the catwalks this season, metallics are an all-round must have this summer. With shimmering gold and silvers they can set any outfit off with a beautiful, eye-catching shine. Long, scoop neck metallic mesh tops are a favourite at the moment for casual wear so why not make it stand out with a contrast colour underneath? Another constant appearance for metallic is the ever so glamorous evening dress. Just the way metallic fabric falls gives that sophisticated sense of style to any figure.

Stripes
Stripes are great for setting the perfect appearance. Vertical stripes are excellent for giving that tall, slim appearance so use them to your advantage. Most people do not realise but pinstripe suits add that touch of sophistication without going overboard, for those people who feel they could not pull off bolder stripes. However, do be cautious; gauge the size of stripes to suit your figure as incorrect judgment can cause an extreme fashion faux pas.

Oriental prints
Caught on the catwalk last winter and still heading down the red carpet this season. Red, black, turquoise and pink colours with that beautiful cherry blossom pattern in shining gold look amazing in every aspect. Keeping in theme with the iconic floral styles, it is not surprising oriental patterns have entered the summer must haves. Not only do they catch the light and make your stunning outfit stand out, they accentuate the figure attractively. Splash out on gorgeous gold cherry blossom kimono jackets, mandarin collared tops and trousers this summer and get those heads on the high street turning towards your glimpse of eastern paradise!

Checks
With check starting on the red carpet in last October, this high class style (mostly associated with the royals) has kept up its appearance this season. Chess board blocks in black and white are a great way to set that upper market look, however be careful; too much check can overkill an outfit, instead treat it as an addition, a check collar over a suit jacket can put that je ne sais quoi to a tailored suit without going overboard.

So, with these top 5 styles in every shop window at the moment and their popularity on the rise throughout summer, you can rest safe in the knowledge that these fashion flairs can be a happy addition to your wardrobe and get you noticed without breaking your bank balance.

1. Levi's Cargo Shorts - Levi cargo shorts are very relaxing, laid, back and you can feel like you're at home anywhere you go with the amazing materials used to put together a pair of shorts that you can wear in the spring or a hot summer day and still feel not to icky when walking around or on the beach in the sand. I myself have about a total of ten pairs of these cargo shorts and in almost every color I'd say about. I've noticed these show very little to no wear in them, they've not been damaged or even any sign of falling apart over a long time period. These types of shorts never seem to get old or played out. You can reuse them a bunch of times without having to keep going out and buying tons of other name brand shorts that just are either to uncomfortable or to much of their logo on them.

2. Polo Ralph Lauren Crew Necks - The one of many things that I love about the Polo crews are that they come in packs, I don't like buying a lot of shirts or even under shirts for that matter one by one. I find it to be a waste of money when you can just purchase them in a bundle and get a good deal for them. The fabric on these shirts have always treated me very well. They're very soft and they're comfortable when washed or dry cleaned. They come in handy if you want to take a walk in the park, sightseeing, or lunch out with some friends. If you're worried about these types of clothes fading their will be a video that I found very helpful on how to keep your clothes looking brand new in the video reviews of the top brands listed section. Overall I give these shirts a 10 out of 10 because of the fact that they come in packs and the quality is not crappy.

3. Polo Ralph Lauren Sneakers - I find these sneakers to be very unique in style and taste some might find these sneakers to be ordinary or boring but I believe these stand out and can match very well in a nice picked out outfit. These sneakers come in various amounts of colors and the sizing for them fit true to size, the quality for them are not bad quality as they do not fall apart very easily. For low tops like these they're very roomy and have a lot of space so you don't have to worry about getting any foot cramps or pain from them. I would suggest to wear these if you're planning on going fishing, a walk through the woods, even just hanging out with your friends.

4. Neff Man's Daily Beanie - A comfy and well put together beanie, It's very warm and could be mostly worn during the spring and fall, The quality gets a thumbs up from me. The Neff beanie comes in various amount of colors and fits basically everyone's head. So If you think you have a huge head, you should think again and try this beanie out because you just may be surprised that it fits you quite well. You could most preferably wear this hat going to the gym, hiking, or going out for a quick 6 A.M jog in the morning. They don't shrink in the washer and the color doesn't fade, if you have concerns about staining you shouldn't because if you were to coincidentally get one there would be no problem removing it. The logo sticks and goes well with the hat as it's not to much of a show off but not to dull and ugly.

5. Black Hawk Cargo Pants - Very comfortable and an outgoing type of cargo pants that stretch well and fit true to size to your waist. I can say these pants won't be to baggy but are loose fit so you're not suffocated and can still feel calm and relaxed. Others may say that they don't like these types of pants because they get dirty fast and could stain easily. These types of pants are meant for that type of activity and keep their selves together quite well, dirtiness and staining won't really be an issue and they will always feel like new. The quality of them is very high and defiantly not CRAPPY.

Fashion, the way we look and the way we dress, is an important aspect to our everyday lives. The same is true for both men and women alike. Men have to be conscious about the things they wear because one's style says a lot about who you are.

Now that summer is coming, it is important to remember that you dress accordingly. It is important to remember that being fashionable means so much more than looking good. It also means that you should be as comfortable as possible. After all, this is perhaps the most important aspect to fashion: confidence and being comfortable in your own skin. The following will help you do just that. It presents some summer fashion tips for men.

Keep It Light and Simple
One men's fashion tip you that should always remember during the summer months is that you should take advantage of the summer heat. Light clothes are always the best option for this type of weather. Try to stay as casual as possible. If you are going out for a walk, it is advisable that you throw on a simple T-shirt. Avoid collared shirts; you will most likely be uncomfortable in them in this heat anyway.

Try wearing a lot of clothes made from linen and cotton. Feeling good is just as important as looking good. A casual set, consisting of cotton shirts and khakis, is perhaps the best option available to you right now. They are perfect for the season, and they never really go out of fashion. These types of material stays are able to absorb moisture but stay dry just the same.

In terms of accessories, sunglasses are your best bet in this type of weather. Not only do they make you look cool, but they also protect your eyes from the strong summer sun.

Go For Light Colors
If you want to survive the summer heat, then you should remember this men's fashion tip. Make sure to avoid dark colors like the plague. Black clothes are absolutely banned for the season, so try to keep them in the back of your closet. No matter how good black shirts may look, you will most likely start sweating profusely once you get out of the house.

Keep Your Hair Short
It is important to keep your hair trimmed during the hot summer months. A thick head of hair will most likely lead to uncomfortable day. It sticks to your face, and it makes you feel warmer than you should. Keeping your hair long for the season is just not worth it. Don't sweat it so much. It's just hair, it'll grow back.

Looking nice and being fashionable is very important for everybody nowadays. Hopefully, these men's summer fashion tips will help you get through the season.
