Menswear Essentials for Summer Travel

By

The sun is shining, the pools are clean, the golf course is green, and the office air conditioning is turned up. It’s summer, so it’s time for some changes to your wardrobe, especially if you’re going on vacation. You can still count on your staples for days in the office (you can’t beat chinos and a button-down), but now is also the right time to consider your vacation wear.

Maybe you have an upcoming trip planned, regardless of whether it’s for work, a golf trip, a family vacation, or a solo adventure just to get away from it all. When it’s time to pack your bag, make sure you have these essentials for comfort, breathability, and style.

The Secret to a Successful Weekend Getaway

Weekend getaways with your partner, family, or friends can often pop up spontaneously throughout the summer. Who knows when you’ll get the sudden urge to head to a lakeside cabin or visit a hotel on the beach? A great weekend bag keeps your clothing options simple and versatile. But you may be worried about overpacking for all the different settings.

Instead, keep things simple. Pack two breathable short sleeve button down dress shirts, one pair of chino pants, and two pairs of shoes of your choice. You can also bring a pullover, like a quarter zip, just in case it gets chilly after sunset. Plus, rolling these essentials instead of folding them can save you space in your bag without squashing your clothes. Be sure to invest in shirts and pants made with wrinkle-resistant fabric for a packing game-changer.

The Optimal Work Bag for a Professional Trip

Summer work trips are a great way to make connections and strike deals with other businesses. You have to look the part (like you do daily), but this time, you’re on the road or on a plane.

Your bag should include a formal collared shirt, an everyday collared shirt, a lightweight blazer in a neutral color, and a pair of chino pants that are breathable and move with you. Comfort and style can work together to keep you looking good and feeling good throughout your business trip. Think moisture-wicking and wrinkle-resistant fabric with plenty of stretch that doesn’t sacrifice structure. You’ll get bonus points for machine-washable options you can easily throw into the laundry when you get home.

 The Laid-Back Essentials for Family Vacations

Family vacations are a highly anticipated event for any tight-knit family. If you’re heading out on a family vacation to a beachside vacation, your bag will likely include some trunks and flip-flops. That’s great, but don’t forget the styles you’ll wear when you’re not at the beach.

Chino Pant

Your suitcase should also feature t-shirts, breathable short sleeve button downs (fun prints encouraged but not required), a comfortable chino pant in khaki or another light color, and maybe even a golf polo for a casual lunch. Wrinkle-resistant, moisture-wicking options will be great for hot weather.

Packing for summer trips doesn’t have to be complicated. You can stick to the tried-and-true favorites you wear every week and still be ready for whatever your vacation has in store. The best way to prepare for a summer getaway is with breathable, wrinkle-resistant, moisture-wicking options that make dressing to impress in your favorite casual styles simple.

The Best Menswear Patterns for Winter and Spring

  Everyone knows how to prepare for the transition from fall to winter, but what about the change from winter to spring? This seasonal shift can be, for lack of a better word, awkward. There’s not necessarily a go-to trend that everyone knows to get through this unpredictable period when it’s getting warmer but it’s still not quite warm. Even a shortway through winter, you’re already looking ahead to the spring. By the time the new season does come around, the weather forecast isn’t quite as bright and warm enough to enjoy a round of golf or an afternoon downtown in shorts and a t-shirt. However, getting in the right mindset for that transitional period is possible, and it can start with something as simple as wearing more patterned dress shirts for men . Prints and patterns liven up the look of any outfit. Even subtle changes to the standard white or blue collared shirt can breathe new life into your closet toward the end of winter and help you feel ready to embrace the spring. C...

How to Make Cornflower Blue a Staple Color in Your Menswear Rotation

  The ink of a ballpoint pen, Bing Crosby in technicolor, and the color of your favorite collared shirt make you realize just how much you love a great blue. It’s inviting but feels cool, masculine yet eye-catching. That’s especially true for a color like cornflower blue. This light shade of blue may be named after a flower, but it’s a color every man should have in his closet, even if you don’t typically wear floral patterns. Vintage fits are back in style, and so is color. Yet, jumping right into wearing bolder colors when you’re used to neutrals can feel like a big change. If you aren’t quite ready for an orchid purple or even an olive green, cornflower blue is an easy-going staple color for your menswear rotation. Embracing new colors this year might even help you gain some new perspective on your wardrobe.
