Wearing linen during summer is a surefire way to stay cool and stylish. Whether you’re staying local and renting a summer cottage, chartering a yacht, or enjoying summer nights partying in Miami, make sure to invest in a linen shirt and pair of linen chinos – which is more than acceptable to worn together. Follow the high summer theme by including canvas espadrilles, and a classic pair of shades.
Even under the warmest of days, it pays to wear a classic blazer, but forgo wool and darker tones for a linen-rich, summer-weight blazer instead. To maintain a relaxed tone, pair your summer blazer with a plain t-shirt and shorts, and follow through with plain white sneakers for the modern reinterpretation of a classic gentleman.
