Summer and spring are here — bringing sunshine, blooming days, and the ultimate style challenge for every man: staying cool and fresh without compromising on style. But don’t sweat it — because we’re diving into the world of breezy styles, killer colours, and effortless fits that’ll keep your fashion game fire.
Summer doesn’t have to be a compromise between comfort and style — it can be the perfect combination of both. So can be your spring fashion. Summer is the season of adventures, from spontaneous beach trips to rooftop parties and backyard barbecues. Your wardrobe needs to keep up with your social calendar while helping you stay fresh through those scorching days.
In this blog, we’ll break down everything you need to know about men’s summer fashion — from the fabrics that will keep you cool to outfit combos that will have heads turning wherever you go.
Whether you’re chilling at the beach, hitting brunch with the crew, or just vibing at home, bFab’s got you sorted with the most fun, quirky, and wearable summer outfits for men. Let’s make the streets your runway this summer!
Ever tried wearing black jeans and a hoodie in 40-degree heat? Yeah, let’s not. Summer demands a wardrobe upgrade — think lighter fabrics, airier cuts, and colours that don’t roast your skin under the sun.
Light clothes let your body breathe, because nobody likes a sweaty shirt, keep you feeling fresh, and give off those cool, casual summer vibes that say, “I woke up like this, and I’m handsome.” Trust us, your skin will thank you.
Beyond the practicalities, light clothes just feel like summer. They evoke a sense of ease, relaxation, and carefree vibes. Strolling along the beach in a crisp white linen shirt is just pure bliss. So ditch the heavy artillery and embrace the lightness.
Now that we’re on the same page about the importance of lightness, let’s talk specifics. What are the best summer fabrics to beat the heat? And which colours will make you look like a ray of sunshine in spring?
Linen: The quintessential summer fabric. Linen is extremely lightweight and breathable, with moisture-wicking properties that make it perfect for humid conditions. Yes, it wrinkles — but that lived-in look is part of its effortless charm!
Cotton: A classic for a reason. Cotton is soft, breathable, and absorbs moisture, making it a great everyday choice. Look for lighter weaves like poplin or chambray for optimal summer comfort.
Rayon/Viscose: These semi-synthetic fabrics are known for their silky smooth feel and excellent drape. They’re lightweight and breathable, making them perfect for shirts and flowy pants.
Seersucker: This fabric, with its puckered texture, is not just visually appealing; the uneven surface allows for better airflow, keeping you cool and stylish. Plus, it has a charmingly preppy vibe.
Chambray: This fabric has the look of light denim but is much more breathable and lightweight, making it perfect for summer button-ups.
Performance Fabrics: Modern synthetic blends designed specifically for hot weather, like jerseys, can be game-changers.
Whites and Creams: Timeless and versatile, these colours are perfect for reflecting sunlight in summer and looking fresh and clean in spring.
Pastels: The quintessential spring palette! Consists of soft blues, mint greens, pale yellows, and blush pinks. These colours evoke the blooming beauty of the season and transition beautifully into summer.
Earthy Tones: Light browns, khakis, olives, and sandy beiges offer a grounded yet seasonally appropriate feel for both spring and summer.
Ocean Blues and Greens: Embody the refreshing vibes of spring showers and summer waves with shades of turquoise, seafoam green, and lighter navies.
Don't Shy Away from Prints! Spring and summer are the perfect times to experiment with fun florals, playful geometrics, and quirky patterns. Embrace the vibrancy of the seasons! Just keep the base colours light and airy.
Pro Tip: Avoid heavy, dark fabrics in both spring and summer. Opt for lighter alternatives that allow your skin to breathe and keep you comfortable as the temperatures rise and fall.
We've curated some killer looks that will keep you cool, comfortable, and undeniably stylish, whatever the season throws your way.
For those laid-back days when comfort is key, a trusty t-shirt and stylish shorts are your go-to. In spring, you can easily add a light jacket or cardigan for those cooler mornings or evenings. By summer, it's all about the tee and shorts!
Start with a quality tee like the Project Collective Textured T-Shirt. The subtle texture adds visual interest, while the breathable cotton keeps you cool as temperatures rise. Opt for a fit that skims your body without clinging – neither too tight nor too baggy.
Pair your tee with the Stone Dyed Shorts for a lived-in, casual vibe. The stone-washing process gives them character while making them incredibly soft and comfortable.
For cooler spring days, layer with a light jacket or overshirt that can be removed as the day warms up. In peak summer, the basic combo stands perfectly on its own. Add clean white sneakers, classic sunglasses, and perhaps a simple watch to complete the outfit. For spring events, consider swapping athletic sneakers for canvas shoes or loafers to slightly elevate the look.
When you need to step it up a notch without compromising on comfort, the polo and light pants combination delivers a polished look that's appropriate across both seasons.
The Geo Print Jersey Shirt offers a modern take on the classic polo. The geometric pattern adds character while the jersey material ensures breathability as temperatures climb. Look for a polo that fits well in the shoulders and doesn't billow at the waist.
Complete the look with Merchant Drawstring Pants in Khaki. The drawstring waist offers comfort and adjustability, while the light khaki colour works with virtually everything. The relaxed fit allows for air circulation, which is crucial as spring transitions to summer.
For spring's variable temperatures, consider pairing with a lightweight blazer or cardigan that can be easily removed. As summer arrives, the polo stands perfectly on its own. Leather loafers or clean canvas sneakers work perfectly with this outfit. Add a braided belt and maybe a simple bracelet to enhance the smart-casual vibe.
For those variable spring days that turn into scorching summer afternoons, nothing beats the combination of linen and lightweight chinos for versatility and comfort.
The Vacation Linen Short-Sleeve Shirt in Sea Blue is warm-weather perfection. The beautiful sea blue colour evokes coastal vibes, while the linen fabric keeps you remarkably cool as temperatures rise. Embrace the natural wrinkles – they're part of linen's laid-back charm!
Pair with Straight Fit Chinos in Beige for a balanced silhouette. The natural beige creates a perfect space for the blue shirt to pop, while the straight fit offers comfort without looking sloppy.
For cooler spring days, layer with a lightweight jacket or cardigan. In summer heat, roll up the chino cuffs slightly for an even breezier feel. Suede loafers or espadrilles complement this outfit beautifully. Consider adding a woven belt and perhaps a straw hat as summer approaches for a peak warm-weather look.
For versatility that takes you from spring's mild days to summer nights, the short-sleeve button-up paired with your choice of bottoms is a winner every time.
The Floral Short-Sleeve Shirt makes a statement without trying too hard. The floral pattern brings seasonal vibes, while the button-up style adds structure to your look. Make sure it fits well in the shoulders and doesn't pull across the chest.
The Relaxed Fit Vintage Jeans provide the perfect counterpoint to the patterned shirt. The relaxed fit ensures breathability, while the vintage wash adds character. For warmer days, swap the jeans for neutral shorts.
This combo transitions beautifully across seasons – pair with jeans for spring's cooler days and swap for shorts as summer heats things up. The shirt works well across both seasons. Brown leather sandals or white sneakers complete this look beautifully. Add a simple watch and maybe a beaded bracelet for personalised style.
Who says you can't look stylish by the water? This combination takes you from late-spring pool openings through summer beach days without missing a beat.
The Peach Water Colour Brush Stroke Shirt brings artistic flair to your waterside look. The peaceful peach tones go well with nautical settings, while the breathable fabric ensures comfort in rising temperatures.
Pair with the Swim Shorts in Red for a bold colour contrast that exudes confidence. Quick-drying materials mean you can go from swimming to socialising without awkward damp spots.
While primarily a summer look, this combination works for indoor pools and hot tubs during late spring as well. For cooler spring evenings by the water, add a light zip-up hoodie or sweatshirt. Waterproof sandals, polarised sunglasses, and perhaps a waterproof watch complete this functional yet fashionable ensemble.
No one looks forward to sweating—unless you’re doing it in style. For workouts, lounging, or those ultra-casual days that span both spring and summer, this athletic-inspired combo delivers comfort without sacrificing style.
The Core Logo Kiss Print Tank adds personality to your active look. The sleeveless design allows maximum freedom of movement and keeps you cool during workouts or on high-temperature days.
The Luxury Sport Loose Shorts offer the perfect blend of style and function. The relaxed fit and soft fabric make them ideal for movement, while the elevated design keeps them from looking like basic gym shorts.
This is primarily a warm-weather look, perfect for late spring through summer. For cooler spring mornings, add a lightweight performance jacket or hoodie that can be tied around your waist as temperatures rise. Athletic sneakers, a sports watch, and perhaps a snapback hat complete this energetic ensemble.
Your spring and summer style can be cool, comfy, and drop-dead dashing — without looking like you tried too hard. From lazy Sundays in tank tops to rooftop cocktails in linen shirts, there’s a whole wardrobe waiting to make your season legendary.
