Mix and match your summer wardrobe with ease
A stylish summer wardrobe doesn’t have to be big. Discover how a few strong essentials let you mix and match with ease—so you’re ready to go every morning.

The five wardrobe essentials you can do anything with

A good summer wardrobe doesn't start with a lot, but with the right basics. With these five key pieces, you effortlessly cover the greater part of your week:

  • The linen shirt
    Airy, breathable and instantly stylish (choose white, light blue or ecru). (Tip: Take a look at our collection of linen shirts)

  • The casual shorts
    A smart cotton or linen chino short that falls just above the knee (in beige, navy or olive green).

  • The premium T-shirt
    A well-fitting shirt of 100% cotton or a linen blend (for example in white, sand or khaki).

  • The chino
    The go-to trousers for office days, the evening hours or the cooler summer days.

  • The overshirt
    The perfect summer 'jacket' for the moments when it cools down.

5 summer outfits for men featuring your favourite basics

The great thing about this minimalist approach? With a few subtle swaps, you create five totally different looks in no time:

Shoes and accessories: it’s all in the details

However strong the basics may be, ultimately the details determine the direction of your outfit:

  • Shoes
    White sneakers keep your look fresh and sporty. minimalist loafers instantly give that same chino and that same shirt a dressier, Mediterranean look. Ideal for the really warm days: airy, but never too informal.
  • Accessories
    A refined watch, a braided belt or sunglasses with a classic frame finish off a simple outfit. Not flashy, but well thought out.

Sharp, slim styling—without the decision fatigue

A good summer wardrobe isn't about buying more, but about choosing more smartly. With a quality shirt, a premium T-shirt, a versatile chino or a matching pair of shorts and a light top layer, you lay the foundation for dozens of stylish combinations. From casual to business, without ever having to puzzle over it. On our shop the look page you'll find more inspiration right away.
