Mens clothing essentials for summer 2010

By: Wilber Gjokaj

With designers looking to travel and the high seas this summer season, the nautical trend is everywhere. You cannot have missed this look on the high street, or on the catwalks, and if you want to incorporate this fresh summer look, then stripes are key. Go for navy, white, or red, all classic and versatile colour options.

Alongside the nautical and travel trends, this summer sees the return of the prep. Think American Ivy League college look and you get the idea. Your key pieces are, of course, the chino, as well as baseball jackets, casual summer knits in pastel shades, polo shirts and sports jackets and blazers. Mix and match for a smart casual summer feel.

You can use some of your preppy American college key pieces to tie in to that other big trend for the summer, the vintage travel theme. By vintage we mean fashion trends from the 20s and 30s when well bred rich kids travelled the Med and Riviera through the summer.

All of the key clothing trends have been incorporated into the key footwear trends for this summer. The nautical and travel themes are both reflected in the return of the deck shoe. These are available in a wide range if colour finishes this season, and we like the woven leather styles. Look out for the tennis shoe too.

Summer footwear for men means espadrilles. These holiday classics have made a big comeback for 2010 and are now all over the high street. Comfortable and breathable, they are easy to team with anything, and the choice of colours and print finishes out there are almost endless. We recommend bright summery pastels and nautically themed stripes.

Shorts take on a new cut this summer. As well as the classic short shorts for those who dare to bare, look out for the skinny short. These are relatively long and reach down to the knee, often with a turn up detail and are great for that all American look as they can be dressed up or dressed down.

If you want to incorporate the preppy look this summer then your shirts need to be of the polo variety, or they need to be pastel, dirty bleached and crisp. The other key shirt trend is for tartan and check, which is another rehashing of the 90s grunge look.

Complete your summer wardrobe with some key accessories. Hats are still big news, but gone are the Pete Docherty trilby days. Instead, think travel oriented, from the classic panama to the boater, and look for natural finishes in straw a pale canvas. Pork pie hats are also back, tying in nicely to the 80s ska trend, and classic black works best.
