Lightweight menswear for a hot summer
Is it going to be scorching hot again this summer? With lightweight fabrics, shorts and the right materials, you’ll stay cool and stylish—wherever your holiday takes you.

Stylish Shorts

A chino and pair of trousers can stay in the wardrobe during the summer holidays — it's time for a pair of shorts! Whether you go for a smart, refined pair of shorts or a brightly coloured one, anything goes. Shorts not only provide cooling, but you can also combine them stylishly in a wide range of outfits. You also have a choice of various summery materials such as cotton and linen. Have you booked an active holiday? Then consider a pair of cargo shorts. These are shorts with practical pockets and a rugged look.

Colourful T-Shirts for Men

Combine the shorts with a colourful T-shirt. The shorts themselves are playful, but also dark in colour. A hot summer makes most of us cheerful and happy, so a splash of colour belongs with that. Brands like KING Essentials are good with colour. Combine a pair of shorts with a pink, orange or light-blue T-shirt, for example. The strength of the T-shirt lies in the simplicity of its design. This makes them easy to combine in various kinds of outfits. You can easily wear a relaxed linen shirt over the top for a casual look.

Outstanding mens polos

Some prefer polos and others prefer T-shirts. We have many polos in the collection that can be combined with a pair of shorts. The brand New Zealand Auckland has beautiful, colourful polos. The designs are classic, but thanks to the striking colour accents they have an appealing, adventurous look.

Light and Airy Linen

Linen clothing in summer is a no-brainer for many men. This natural fabric is lightweight and airy, which keeps you cool and comfortable even in the hottest temperatures. Linen also absorbs moisture and dries incredibly fast. So it doesn't matter if you get wet during a day at the beach. Linen is also a charming fabric that gives your outfit a stylish and casual look. Perfect during those lazy summers. You can easily combine a linen shirt with a pair of chinos for a smart casual outfit, for instance. At Suitable you'll find an extensive range of linen trousers and even linen suits.

Playful swim trunks

Men's swim shorts come in all kinds of colours and prints. Do you go for a subtle pattern or rather a fun pattern with a wink?

(Teen) Slippers for Men

To finish off your summer outfit completely, go for a pair of flip-flops. Sporty brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Lacoste always include various rugged flip-flops in their collection. In addition, Suitable has designed a lovely toe-post sandal itself. The wearing comfort lies mainly in the little cushion on the strap and a shock-absorbing sole. Ideal for a relaxed stroll along the beach promenade or by the pool!
