The hot season is on the way, and dressing according to the weather while staying in style can be a real challenge. So, it’s time to declutter your wardrobe, put aside the thick fabrics, and update it with summer clothes that are both comfortable and fashionable. Still, no matter if you are willing to head into your next vacation or attend a wedding, building a closet that allows you to create stunning outfits is essential. In this article, you can find some valuable tips to update your wardrobe for the new season: 

Research 2024 trends 

Spring/summer 2024 runways in men’s fashion got us speechless. Apparently, this year, the concept of “less is more” became an outdated idea, as famous designers like Loewe, Givenchy, Dolce & Gabbana and Saint Laurent promoted stunning new trends for the hot season, suggesting that the only fashion rule is to dare: 

• Transparency: sheer transparent dresses are commonly found in women’s wardrobes, but this summer, men can embrace this trend, opting for semi or fully-transparent shirts in black or white to enhance the summerish vibe. 
• Pockets: you can say goodbye to your carry-on purse this summer because clothes have workwear influences, providing you with multiple practical pockets. 
• Hibiscus pattern: the new season is all about the beautiful hibiscus flower. You can find this pattern on pants and blouses to add a touch of colour to your closet. 
• Micro-shorts: this trend is perfect for beating the heat. Micro-shorts can be worn effortlessly, adapting them to any style, and they can be the centrepiece of your outfits. 

Add a touch of colour 

If you feel like your neutral outfits are boring, embrace the colours of the year: peach fuzz for a warm and elegant vibe, the timeless red for a plus of confidence or the beautiful tone of sky blue to give a sense of serenity. Adding a touch of colour to your outfits can showcase your personality and create a timeless look. You can purchase pieces in trendy colours like polo shirts, summer shorts or elegant shirts, or opt for accessories like ties. The colourful items you integrate into your wardrobe will grab all the attention, especially if you add this touch to a monochromatic outfit. Still, you can contrast multiple hues and shades of the same tone to create a unique design. 

Prioritise summer fabrics 

Lightweight fabrics are a must-have in your wardrobe for the hot season. For instance, these are the most stylish fabrics you should consider: 

• Linen: the stylish texture of linen is the perfect choice for summer. Besides being a beautiful material that suits every man, it’s also refreshing and a real life-saver in unbearable heat conditions.  
• Cotton: it’s the most popular fabric and works for all seasons. Still, this material offers breathability during summer, and it’s comfortable and versatile, so you can integrate this texture for any outfit, in contrast with other outstanding materials like chambray. 
• Chambray: it’s a soft and breathable fabric that can bring you comfort during the hot summer days. This material is versatile, it can be dressed up or down and mixed with other textures. 

Get ready for the beach 

When thinking about summertime, you might already feel the breeze of the sea, imagine the sun rays on your skin and have a fun time with friends at the beach. Of course, we can’t wait to finally relax under the sun. So, understandably, swimming shorts are a must-have in your wardrobe. To find flattering shorts for your body type, you should choose the right size and length. Generally, every man looks great in mid-sized classic trunks, while taller men should opt for longer suits that end right above the knee. Still, as micro-shorts are a 2024 trend, you can also embrace the idea of showing off more skin. You have various options for the design; you can opt for unique patterns or monochromatic trendy colours that would look great with your fresh, bronzy look. 

Choose comfy daily-wear pieces

When you update your closet, make sure you opt for pieces you can wear every day; for instance, these are some essential pieces of clothing you should have in your wardrobe for the new season: 

• Polo shirts: they’re timeless summer clothing pieces that have been going through for decades, worn by fashion icons thanks to their versatility. They look good on everyone, and you can find them in a broad range of colours, patterns and styles. 
• Jeans: Jeans should be your go-to when you have no idea what to wear and no time to figure out an outfit. They can be integrated into every style, from basic urban looks to smart-casual ones. Make sure you choose a pair of jeans that is not too tight so you can feel comfortable during summer. 
• Chinos: they can enhance any look. You can match chinos with a plain white shirt and create a smart casual look, or go Italian-style with a linen shirt. Opt for neutral colours to easily match them with other items in your closet. 

Don’t forget special occasions 

If you are going to attend a wedding or important corporate meetings are taking place this summer, don’t forget about formality. You can find suits in summerish materials like linen and chambray. Also, it’s crucial to have a few white cotton shirts in your closet, which can pretty much go well with everything. Still, when the conditions outside are unbearable, you can opt for a white t-shirt with chinos and a light suit jacket that perfectly matches some timeless loafers. When it comes to colour, it would be best to choose light tones like pastels, earthy hues or fool-proof neutrals like beige. 

We hope this article inspires you to create a perfectly balanced wardrobe for the new season. Once you are all set for every occasion, you can enjoy your summer stress-free.
