The heat index is no excuse to lose your fashion sense, and even though we all tend to strip down in the summertime, there are still crucial accessories that every man needs in his rotation. BVLGARI MAN is one such essential, and to go along with this great new fragrance from the iconic luxury brand, here are 10 more ways to put the finishing touch on your summer look.

Belts

Summer is the only season where you can safely rock the drawstring, but every man needs a pair of quality shorts—Madras, khaki, or navy—and those will require a belt. Think colorful, sporty, or nautical in this area.

Hats

You've got to keep that sun at bay, so don't hesitate to rock a wider brim this summer (without going crazy). In addition to that, a pork pie or your favorite fitted can fill out your repertoire.

Shades

Sunglasses are essential, and this summer you should stay true to the classics with some mirrored aviator or wayfarer-style shades.

Linen Jackets

A linen jacket isn't necessarily an accesory, but if you're shifting from a day by the pool into a dinner party, it's the perfect thing to set off your breezy look.

Watches

Your summer watch should be colorful and durable. Go ahead and be a boy scout, and rock that solar-powered, water-resistant timepiece with a compass. You never know, you could wind up saving lives out there.

Bow Ties

You might not be called on to wear a tie much this summer, but when the moment comes, set off your lightweight suit with a bright bowtie. Summer is the time to be preppy without fear!

Fragrances

BVLGARI MAN is the only scent you'll need to pull off oceanside swagger this summer. This vibrant, sensual fragrance has both the freshness and elegance to keep you going around the clock.

Moisturizers

While everyone needs their SPF, you might want to consider getting it from a moisturizer this summer rather than a heavy sunscreen. A good moisturizer will keep your skin hydrated through summer dry spells without clooging you up.

Sandals

When you're not barefoot on the beach, be sure you're in premium sandals or other loose, easy footwear. Pull the laces out of your favorite canvas sneakers for the perfect beachbum look.

Wallets

The summer is all about losing the bulk, and that applies to your wallet. We're not saying blow all your cash, but definitely pick up a sporty alternative to the leather monstrosity that's been weighing down your coat all winter.
