3 summer pants for him: Sporty, sophisticated, and casual

Summer is finally here and you couldn’t be happier – that is, assuming you know what to wear. This is one of the few times one could argue that women have it easier than men in terms of cool fashion options. But worry not! With the right summer pants, you’ll be looking stylish and keeping cool in no time. We promise! But careful: Hot temperatures are no excuse for lack of style. Here are three styles that’ll help you pull off the perfect summer look:

1. Sporty:

Whether in Bermuda shorts, short jeans or a pair of Jersey shorts, this look is definitely reminiscent of the sports field. These summer pants fit comfortably, often with an elastic waist, and are made of simple materials.

What goes with it: Think tennis, basketball, and beach volleyball. Tops can range from polo shirts to printed t-shirts or baseball shirts. While the colors should harmonize, feel free to go for bright and bold shades. Classic color combinations include white and green (tennis, anyone?) or blue and white (has anyone seen my sailboat?). Sneakers, flip flops or men’s espadrilles go well with this look.

2. Sophisticated

A sunny day, a picnic, and a bit of wit and charm – this look is right out of a Victorian novel but with a modern edge. Simple Chino shorts, Bermudas made of twill or linen pants in any color are perfect for achieving a romantic dandy look.

What goes with it: When paired with a men’s shirt, your breast pocket handkerchief can finally make its long-awaited appearance. Finish the look with a leather belt and shoes such as loafers or moccasins. A panama hat is all that’s missing for the perfect summer day!

3. Casual:

This look calls for summer pants with Hawaiian prints or in plaid, stripes or other patterns. We recommend going for shorts and Bermudas rather than longer pants.

What goes with it: If the pants have plenty of color on their own, opt for an understated shirt, such as v-neck t-shirts, summer button-ups or a sleeveless shirt. That means: With colorful pants, go for white or solid, understated colors on top. Avoid unnecessary frills and opt for simple shoes.

Women aren’t the only ones who get to show off their legs in summer! With a slight tan, even skinnier legs can appear a bit more masculine. You can also distract from skinny legs by drawing attention to a toned behind (slim fit!). And: Don’t forget to moisturize before showing off those stems.

Summer pants for men are light and airy no matter their length.
