Ever since college, and even today, Grey Flannel, by Geoffrey Beane, makes my knees week. A lighter after shave is perfect for the summer. And yes, I know someone who did this.Įasy on the cologne, Rico Suave! Lighter is better…and this is a great rule for year-round. And, for Pete’s sakes, do NOT wear them paired with a Hawaiian shirt, to the Doctor’s office. Slim ones that sit just under the waist (not unlike a lower-rise jean) and finish somewhere between mid-thigh and an inch or two above the knee work best for every beach-going guy. And do NOT even think about wearing a Speedo…that is just a joke waiting to happen! Wear swimming trunks that fit…and do NOT wear your board shorts out and about, as if they are actual shorts. Men’s swimwear should look and fit like a great pair of everyday shorts. Not sure who this is, but I would not be at all surprised to find out it’s Kevin Federline. Patrick was rocking the cargo shorts this summer in California, and I thought he looked great…and with Mer Mer as his fashion accessory, how can he not be? But he is, after all, 14-years old, and the world is his oyster. A well-fitting pair of cargo shorts can look great, but was referring to the pair that hangs below a man’s hips, and is 3 sizes too large. For the record, I think cargo shorts are a-okay, if they fit properly…and that goes for basically everything here (except those “wife-beater” t-shirts). And speaking of hems, yours should always end an inch or two above the knee. The secret to a great pair of men’s shorts is finding ones that don’t stray away from a straight line running from hip to hem. Cuts are slimmer (like your favorite pair of jeans) and patterns range from bold plaids to seersucker even everyday khaki is a fine choice. It’s time to try a silhouette from this century.

Experiment to see which shades go well together.įor the record, the above is a Fashion DON’T! □ Your outfits should have no more than two, three colors at most. Some colors go well together while mixing others will produce disaster. The selection of colors can either make or ruin an outfit. “Maybe we feel like the slowness of the season gives us permission to take a vacation from discriminating taste”? But this can give you the necessary material to poke fun at others out there who are less fortunate than yourselves and happen to make these summer fashion errors. I mean, my son Patrick won’t even read this, and Kevin O’Brien actually said “you have a blog?” (which is why he’s always featured here □ )…so Bruce, Mark, Jason and Chris…this is Not meant for you. And let’s face it, my only male followers are Bruce, Mark, Jason and Chris. These are general tips, and Not aimed at anyone in particular. Finally mother nature has realized it is indeed summer (and too much so in my opinion, for the last 3 weeks we’ve had of “summer”)…and it is time to see some fairly tragic fashion mistakes roaming the parks and beaches. ![]()
