SUMMER WEAR… quick it will only be hot for about two weeks!!
Ok guys it’s been a while….
Summer is upon us… suddenly the hidden beauties emerge from there hiding places and flock to watering holes to consume cider and wear bikini tops…
So what should we be wearing??
Summer day wear is a tough one there’s not too much you can do to create a strong impression in a hot climate..( save of course gettin your ass in the gym…DO IT)
First I’m going to outline some negatives then I will suggest a simple and easy summer look!!
No football shorts or any kind of umbro above the knee kinda JD sports type things!!
No sports shirts.. yes we all know you love Arsenal (insert favoured team and sport where neccesary) and we don’t care.. And No England football shirts!!! We lose all the time and our fans are heathens!!!
No socks with trainers!!! Wear ankle socks or just roll the sock down below the rim of your shoe!!
No surfwear… sorry Billabong, Rip curl fans etc…Surfers are some broke ass dudes!!!
No surfer brand sunglasses again sorry Oakley etc. Get yourself a pair of classic Rayban’s. Avaitors or 1950′s style classic.
No pedal pushers (long shorts).
No obvious high street brand T- Shirts. ie. Topman, River island Tee’s. They are cheap look cheap and every loser out there has the same ones!!t is fine to wear plain tee’s from such fine establshments but anything with a strong design or picture, print etc is a big no no!! Do you want to look like a student?? This is especially pertinent to all you students!!
Ok so there is some of the common mistakes guys make with summer wear.. Now here’s some suggestions…
Wear knee length plain coloured combat shorts (but not camoflague prints, there are a few camoflague prints which look cool but most of them are like sooooo two years ago!!). A plain blue or beige short with a plain white fitted V – Neck T’ shirt and sunglasses clipped on the V is a simple and cool look!! American Apparel does the best fitted T- Shirts but Topman is a pretty good and a cheaper alternative.
Plain plimsoles, i have metinoned vans before, trendy and cheap!!
Get your hippy on, Wear flip flops..HAVIANAS are the only acceptable brand.. There are nice leather style thong sandals too but to be sure go for the havianas (available at Office)!! You can wear flip flops with jeans, if it’s really hot roll your jeans up to your knees!! I am usually a fan of skinny or straight leg jeans but a pair of baggy baby blue jeans trailing to the ground at your ankle (and thus getting filthy), white flip flops and a white T- Shirt is cool aswell.
There are some nice above the knee length smart shorts available at Topman and FCUK , if you have ok legs (if your chubby or have boney legs don’t go there.. step away from the shorts!!) To be safe go for a plain blue or beige and wear with a fitted T’ shirt or a fitted short sleeve collar shirt!!
Deck shoes!! Blue and white deck shoes (socks not visible are smart and casual at the same time and show a certain English class and restrain!! And plus there only 35 quid from river island!!
Get a tan!! We have about 3 weeks of sun on this desolate rock enjoy it!! And if you have to work you can always cheat!! Fake tan by St Tropez is about 15 pounds for a tube (available at Boots, select the relevant skin tone). It is the ONLY good brand. The rest will have you looking like a Swedish pornstar!! Come on guys were living in a metra-sexual society now, wear the fake tan it will make you look healthy and more attractive!! That being said NEVER admit it!! NEVER… your Grandad is Italian or you went to Brighton at the weekend!!
Finally i already mentionned the gym!! It’s a bit late now for all you couch potatoes but next year is always around the corner!! If your in shape wear a vest!! But be honest are you really in shape??
Now go to the park… Happy hunting…
Hiya Ollie,some really good advice here mate,much appreciated!
Ollie, awesome. One question though, can the fake tan go wrong? I hear you have to put all over your body, neck, ears, just so some places aren’t white, I don’t know how skillfull I am at applying fake tan man?help
pmsl @ all the ‘white’ dudes with misapplied fake tan confidently approaching with “hey girls…i dont usually ask Qs like this but im on my way to Boots and spotted you stunning guys, you seem like you woudl know what you’re talking about when it comes to fake tan ( ;) )…a friend of mine over there Ollie hes a fashion advisor, suggests i should cover up my white bits with St tropez…what do you think?”
muhaha newaysss thanks Ollie, the post ive been waiting for all Summer!!
ive seen some footballers on Sly sports news with the stunners in the v-neck look! just wondering if thats where you got the idea from, orrrr if they got it from you ;)
big up yaself rude boiiii
Don’t like this at all. This guide may be for the author…but all these suggestions do not work for everyone. Not sure what you have against surfer
“No surfwear… sorry Billabong, Rip curl fans etc…Surfers are some broke ass dudes!!!”
Surferwear fits my style perfectly, long blonde hair, tanned, pooka shells etc..
Just wear what fits your style
“Tanning”
Id suggest going fake tanning over any spray on or rub on.
Gives you a good base for not that expensive.
is this new kit for the euros?
As an attorney I am always looking for sites to add to my arsenal to help me do research and yours will undoubtedly be of assistance. Thank you!
For a student to buy expensive stuff is impossible and some of the fashionable brads dont fit for guys going gym(been training 8 years now).
Anyways those DONTS are good a start.
