Ideal summer outfit for hot days, according to Mr Porter. The perfect summer shoes would be the Timberland 6". Lightweight and breathable. Don't wear socks. Then go for a pair of bathing shorts. Ideally ones with big writing, that make them look ridiculous. Forget to apply your sunscreen. For top, go for your under tee, an oxford twill shirt, bow tie, leather jacket. Put a sweater on top, add an insulation vest and top it off with a fur coat. For some extra detail, grab your lightweight, breathable cashmere scarf and do not forget your favourite pair of Outdoor Research gloves. Happy holidays, everyone!
Look number 1 left my scratching my head. I can't imagine wearing that many layers in the summer and with shorts. I think any man would be sweating his ass off in that. And then saying that the look would be great to wear to work? Who wears shorts to work? Look number 2 I could see if you were going for a stroll on an overcast morning along the beaches of New England perhaps. It was the least complicated and most likely something a real person could carry off. I appreciate the effort that this takes to create these videos and the fabulous looking models.
A hopsack navy blazer can be worn with shorts - it's not like shorts are exclusive to boiling temperatures. Not saying the stylist has a clue as to what he's doing, of course.
@@marcusthatcher6228 my point is that, even in texas, there are times of the day or times in summer where it is kind of hot. Don't pretend it's sweltering all the time. We get similar temperatures nowadays in England, just without ac.
I only wear shorts to keep cool if it's warm,so shorter ones and only with T-shirts or maybe sweatshirts,and used to do so lots in the summer - but next to never outside of my homestead or its immediate vicinity any more once I passed my mid-30s unless it's either very hot indeed or for sports or physical exercise such as running.
If the temperature in Celsius was at least 5 degrees more than my age,and regardless of age once it got to 22/23/24 it suited me - if I didn't have to shirt + tie it - to go out in my shorts,until I hit my late 30s when I decided I had too many miles on the clock,and started to put on more pounds than I would have liked round the waist,which I've shed since.
I would never,underlined, wear pink shorts BUT, all of the looks here were smashing. Natural, confident, pull together without being fussy. P.S. I wish your app was as funny as these short segments!
Well, I'm not the only complaining about those oufits, of course I'm talking about the top, too many layers for what we would wear a nice pair of shorts. Summer's oufits is supposed to be light to keep us fresh and not burning up under tons of clothes.
Ah yes the pepto bismol short - a summer staple in Dan's hometown of Narnia. Not many people know this but Pan actually got his "no shirt or pants with a wool scarf look" from Dan.
i enjoy watching these even though i personally wouldnt try half of those styles.. i dont really do layering. Theres just too much going on.. im much more simpler.
The outfits seem incomplete. Perhaps because the top layers are geared towards cooler seasons as opposed to the reason as to why one would wear shorts? I can envision them being decent choices if I extend those shorts into pants. Suddenly, these looks seem more complete. Don't throw layers on someone with shorts or pants for that matter just for the sake of trying to create a look. Sometimes simplicity is a much better path, sartorially speaking.
I also have to ask, why all the layers? 3 or 4 layers for the summer is rediculous, unless of course the climate suits...Scandanavia? And why bother waering a striped shirt under another striped shirt when the inner shirt is completely covered? I think some of the color combinations were great, but for the most part I find these choices only feasible in a chilly climate or in an air-conditioned setting, not on warm summer days or nights.
It's funny because an English/British summer is around the same temperature as an Aussie winter XD except it's a lot colder to us because we're used to the heat.
From all this series of how to wear. This video to me was nonsense. I live in Scandinavia where summers are cold and even so I have to say that's too much layering for summer weather
The mult-layer top looks like we're going to x-country ski...i simply wonder if anyone would dress like that during hot summer--or should i ask ambulance for a ride to the party? :)
campus update: lose the cardigan and the tie sunday brunch: lose the cardigan garden party: swap the shorts for trousers (shorts don't looks right with the jacket imo) out & about: perfect (except i personally wouldn't wear new balance trainers - maybe some creative recreation low-tops or velvet tassel loafers for a smarter look) summer showers: good except shorts aren't the right option if you're preparing for showers not knocking the looks by any stretch, just saying what i'd personally try
why do so many people like this stuff? this isn't spring or summer fashion.. this is crazy looks people wear on the runway.. you were t shirts, light polos or light casual button downs with twill or chino shorts. loafers or flip flops or slips on.. not a pair of brogues..
By PRACTICAL I assume you meant the summer where you live (North Pole?) right? Not going to work in tropical countries or places where summer is around 38 to 40 degrees C lol. I like the style though. I will use them as suggestions for my fall and winter seasons where I live.
The very first video i saw from you, i was pretty impressed. Then as i started going through the others in this series I realized that you do the same thing over and over again. Talking smack about the colour variations when they are pretty subtle in all honesty. Every look includes a cardigen/sweater with a blazer/jacket layered on top. Please add some genuine variation.
Where I'm from (Bermuda) we will wear knee socks, loafers, shorts a button up and a blazer, often time a light linen blend. Looking at this video made me cringe and sweat
You start off by saying shorts or for summer but the first thing you put on the model is a sweater over a shirt plus a jacket. Anyone would be dripping in sweat 3 minutes after being outside in that outfit is not practical. Plus, the tie with shorts?? They don't even attempt that in GQ. The second outfit again is, a heavy denim shirt, over a t-shirt, plus a thick sweater - guys, that only works in the summer in Alaska or Norway
Calm down guys....this is fashion! Waering clothes can be a kind of expressing yourself. They want to show us "what's possible". It's in the most cases never 100% adaptable to real life conditions.
No matter how stylish I want to be,these five looks will never work for me cause where I live which is Turin Italy and Shandong China,summer gets hot,wearing that will kill me when I’m outside......
Why so many layers? Wearing shorts looks insanely stupid when you're dressed for winter from the waist up. Jesus Christ, a t-shirt...good., a denim jacket...easily doable... BUT A CHUNKY CARDIGAN ON TOP OF THAT?????
Omg. I just now noticed that. And the kicker is that he said that the cardigan is an alternative to a jacket--as he clearly puts it over a jacket. Though he is British and they don't have long hot summers like we do on average.
Does this guy actually know summer? Three of the five looks have 3x hefty upper layers and two looks have 2x upper layers. There's no way 3x layers of quite substantial garments would be comfortable or practical in most summer weather.
Look 1 & 2: Impossible, unless the temps are always in the high 60s, low 70s. Look 3: Perhaps, but why hide the madras shirt? Look 4: Why layer a striped shirt with another striped shirt, if you can only see the top shirt? Look 5: No thanks.
