Spring-Summer weather can be a fashion challenge, especially after Tet, when mornings greet you with a hint of chill, noon feels like peak summer, and evenings bring a teasing coolness. With this rollercoaster of temperatures, sticking to flashy trends can seem like a hassle. Trends may come and go, but there’s beauty - and comfort - in simplicity.
Rather than falling into the cycle of fleeting fashion fads, I've always believed in building a foundation with timeless essentials. Investing in well-made, basic pieces not only keeps you looking sharp but ensures you’re always in style.
Oxford Shirt
This casual classic strikes the perfect balance between comfort and polish. A slim-fit Oxford shirt, especially in pure white or light blue, is a versatile staple. The textured cross-weave of Oxford fabric adds a subtle dimension to these colors, which can be styled for both work and casual outings. During the day, pair it with a blazer and trousers for a smart-casual vibe, then swap in jeans for an effortless evening look.
White T-Shirt
Every man’s wardrobe needs at least a couple of solid white T-shirts. Stick with crew necks or V-necks that have a snug, comfortable fit, avoiding nylon blends that may feel overly stiff. For something more daring, try a deeper scoop neck or medium V-neck, though a classic look often works best.
In unpredictable weather, a white tee paired with a gray or black cardigan makes for a clean and stylish combo that’s both laid-back and practical.
Denim Shirt
Denim’s rugged appeal makes it a spring-summer staple. A denim shirt is easy to style as a shirt or as a light jacket over a T-shirt when temperatures dip. Available in indigo, light blue, black, and gray, a denim shirt can work with almost anything in your wardrobe.
Navy Blue Pullover Sweater
Timeless and effortlessly cool, a navy pullover is a must-have. Iconic figures like Steve McQueen, David Beckham, and Ryan Gosling have all embraced this classic piece. Layer a navy pullover over an Oxford shirt with khakis and brown brogues for a polished look, or keep it casual with jeans and a T-shirt underneath.
Dark Indigo Slim-Fit Jeans
A pair of dark indigo slim-fit jeans is a staple that works for both casual and smart-casual looks. From an Oxford shirt with a light navy pullover to a classic white T-shirt with sneakers or desert boots, these jeans provide a versatile base for a range of outfits.
Lightly Distressed Denim Jacket
A denim jacket effortlessly adds edge to any outfit, showcasing masculine style with minimal effort. Pair a light-colored denim jacket with dark jeans for a standout “double denim” look that combines rugged appeal with refined style.
