Summer fashion mistakes to avoid!

You’d think summer is an easy season when it comes to getting dressed. It makes sense: you wear less, so the risk of a style slip-up feels small. But unfortunately, the opposite is true. Take a seat on a terrace and casually watch the street scene. In short: enjoy the summer—but keep these tips in mind.

Summer fashion mistakes to avoid!
Think summer is free of fashion faux pas? Think again. Discover the most common warm-weather mistakes and tips to keep looking sharp and well put-together.

Too-short shorts

For women they can't be short enough, but ask yourself: are you really the type of man for hotpants? Truly one of the fashion blunders you don't want to make.

The three-quarter trousers

Okay, once upon a time in a distant, distant past this was briefly fashionable. But if we're being completely honest, it should really have been stopped back then.

The gladiator sandal

Yes. it's true, they look great on gladiators. Reason enough not to wear them yourself. Just go for smart summery flip-flops or the old school pool slider. But not to work of course;-).

Shorts to work

In theory: why not? In practice: because two little strings dangle along legs the colour of printer paper. The combination of professionalism and shorts doesn't work for us. So don't do it. Limit shorts to your free time and wear a comfortable chino or stylish linen trousers to work.

Retro football shirts

They keep reminding us of 1974. Especially given the World Cup this year, nobody is waiting for this.

A tank top

Please leave this be, rather choose a nice, clean white T-shirt. James Dean got away with this too. Prevent fashion blunders and don't turn it into too deep a men's cleavage.

Black is slimming

You can deny to yourself that the season hasn't changed, but otherwise you just look boiling hot. Limit black in summer to a minimum.

Shirt with cleavage

You may perhaps have a very muscular torso, but still you just shouldn't want it.


With these tips, you too should manage to get through the summer stylishly and without fashion blunders.
