Are you ready to bring the heat this summer? Or are you unsure of which trends to rock? There is definitely no shortage of trends this season, but be ware. Some of them scream WTFWYW?. Still, a few of those borderline-faux-pas and questionable duds can be turned into hits. Forget what you thought about colored chinos and shorts shorter than shants. That’s right, we’re embracing some of summer’s risky trends. If you want to look fresh in this blazing weather and are feeling adventurous, look no further. Check out our 10 Style Risks of the Summer.
Reflective Sunglasses
With the right shape (we prefer Wayfarers), reflective sunglasses can go from crazy-looking sunnies to a hit with the ladies.
Colored Chinos
Think red (or green or mustard or blue). Just not head-to-toe. The key to doing color below is keeping it simple up top.
Tank Tops
Show off those guns in a striped tank top and stay cool with the ladies. But remember to leave the muscle tanks at home.
Going sockless
Pair your cuffed chinos or shorts with boat shoes, espadrilles, oxfords or canvas sneakers for the perfect summer look.
Trilbies
Lean with it, rock with it. Pairing your trilby with a casual look will be enough to get you attention from everyone, everywhere. We DON’T need you to go Frank Sinatra on us.
Denim Shorts
Mid-length denim shorts, cuffed or not, Pharell co-signs the look.
Floral Prints
Real men wear floral prints. Wear them up top if they’re small and muted.
Leopard print
Wear it with confidence.
Espadrilles
Put your best foot forward, sockless, of course.
Nautical Bracelet
Who says men can’t wear bracelets? We like them braided, stacked and sometimes colorful. Make sure you keep it simple with a basic tee and jeans.

Lead
Most trends are whack. That’s a simple fact. That’s why they’re called trends. But not all of them. There are plenty of ways you can use them to your advantage and gain some extra style points for your summer looks. You might have to step outside of your fashion comfort-zone, but take our advice and take a few risks this summer—you’ll thank us. Just not all at once. Check out The 10 Style Risks You Should Take This Summer.
chinos
Colored Pants
Think red (or green or mustard or blue). Just not head-to-toe. The key to doing color below is keeping it simple up top.
denimshorts
Denim Shorts
Mid-length denim shorts, cuffed or not, Pharrell co-signs the look. And you can make them yourself. Just keep the inseam closer to your knees than your nads.
espadrilles
Espadrilles
Go sockless, of course. And try some crazy prints and patters. They won't last you more than one summer, anyway, so go nuts.
shades
Mirror Sunglasses
They can be obnoxious, but that's what's awesome about them. Find a shape that fits your face— Wayfarers or Frogskins work for most people—and get crazy.
bracelets
Nautical Bracelet
Who says men can’t wear bracelets? Braided, stacked, hand-tied, colorful—just make sure you keep it simple with a basic tee and jeans to keep things balanced.
sockless
Going sockless
Pair your cuffed chinos or shorts with boat shoes, espadrilles, oxfords or canvas sneakers and show some ankle for the perfect summer look. Just cop some Gold Bond and you're good to go.
floral
Floral Prints
Real men wear floral prints. Wear them up top and keep the print small and muted.
tank
Tank Tops
There are a few rules for rocking tank tops, most importantly they should not be worn to work, they should be cut for a man, and, be honest with yourself, if you haven't gotten any sun or exercise since last summer, you might need to keep the sleeves on until you're ready.
leopard
Leopard Print
We've seen a lot of animal print lately—both high fashion and low, from Supreme to Christian Louboutin. As with any print, don't mix and match, and keep things subtle.
trilby
Trilbies
Pairing your trilby with a casual look is the way to go, and it's a nice break from fitteds and snapbacks for the summer. Black is classic and works with just about any style.
