Men’s Beach Wear 2019
Summer means beaches, cool drinks, and hot weather. Most of us try to take time off to enjoy the heat or at least make some time on the weekend to get to the beach to make the most of the sun. Don’t be fooled though, just because you’re relaxing doesn’t mean you have to sideline looking good and stylish.
Most seasons have an associated color palette to coordinate with the changes in the environment, such as autumn leaves or the pale blue sky in summer. Sand on the beach is often a light beige and subtly contrasts with the blues of the ocean and the sky. When choosing your outfit, you’ll want to pick an array of pale and muted tones. Subtly contrasting your pieces with your hair, eyes and skin color will help make your ensemble stand out in a great way.
Beach shirts

This classic shirt will be faultless for summer days as it is cotton, so you’ll stay cool in the sun. The pale sky blue works well with pieces that are beige, but you could also experiment with light mint green shorts or a deeper blue hat. For around $100, this shirt will be a great staple but has the unique touch of the alligator appliqué.

How to wear beach wear
When preparing for summer and gathering pieces for your wardrobe, you’ll want to have a nice mix of pastel, soft colors and including patterned items to give yourself options when creating outfits. Having a few options of sunglasses and hats is an affordable way to change up your outfits.
If you try to tie in certain colors throughout your outfit it will give your overall look of coordination without being over-the-top. For example, you can put together an outfit with the Maison Kitsune Parisien Baseball Cap and the towel, so you have those two pieces without an overwhelming amount of one color. Match those with a crisp white shirt and some beige shorts to create a polished look.
Opting for light and bright articles of clothing is the main point to take away from this article. I’d recommend trying to incorporate some contrasting colors to help make your outfit have more character to it, rather than being overly basic. Complete your outfit with a statement piece, like eye-catching sunglasses, and you’ll be looking stylish and staying cool this summer.
