With the first day of summer finally behind us, we are in full swing of long weekends, trips abroad, iced coffee goodness, and a much more relaxed sense of style. It can definitely be hard to not look like a sweltering mess after just a few minutes in the beaming sun so I like to dress light and keep it casual for most of my summer days. There are a few staples every guy needs in their summer arsenal and chinos are definitely up on the top of my list!
Easily dressed up or dressed down no matter how high the temps get, chinos are my summer uniform when running around the city for a busy day of meetings and dinner with friends all while wearing the lightweight bottoms. Chinos come in just about every color these days, but I like to keep the hue light during the warmer months... think earth tones and beach colors when choosing a pair for yourself. These from Topman have a bit of a stretch in them for even more comfort which is perfect for those urban dwellers trekking their cities. Make sure you check out the extensive chino collections from some of your favorite brands... my go-tos are J. Crew, Topman, and Bonobos. The colors and fits are endless so you won't have trouble finding your perfect summer pair!
