Beat the Heat in Style: How to Rock Rugged Summer Looks!

Maintaining your rugged style in the summer isn't as hard as most people imagine. Call it what you like: heritage style, rugged style, it's a look that has its roots in workwear. By swapping chambray for linen, heavy and dark denim for light, we can easily create the summer version of that classic fall style. Stay away from oversized, baggy cargo shorts, lame graphic tees, and loafers!

Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well and allows you to own less and own better.

I've worn slip-on type shoes without socks since I was a kid, first wearing Keds Slip-on's in the '60's then later Vans and Sperry Top Siders. When Sperry cheaped out, I switched to Rancourt & Co. To each their own I suppose. You forgot a great summer fabric with seersucker. Shirts, shorts, and pants are all great in the summer.

I've worn them all over Portland Oregon walking the streets and also to music shows. Great shoes. Our local store stocks some that looks like well faded black denim. Very cool looking.

[@krazmokramer]

Well now I'm butt-hurt Carl. I am old, admittedly. I still have loafers that I wear with dress slacks SOMETIMES. You can't wear work boots everywhere without looking like an idiot. I also drive 2 BMWs (35 years old and 20 years old), but I never yell at waitresses. I spent too many years working in restaurants before becoming a dentist. For casual wear, I like my RW chukkas and my Stetson Milan Stratoliner fedora. Interesting to see Filson mentioned. Last year everyone was threatening to boycott them because of their outrageous prices. Boycotts never last (BenchMade, Carhartt). Now that I'm retired I'm spending most days in a generic tee shirt and Roadhouse overalls. Feels like being naked, only legal! I'm too old for "style". Just stopped in to say hi and to smash that "LIKE" button. Stay well Carl!!

Are there any companies that make sneakers that look sun-faded? I think it's a cool look. This girl at my job has some black Vans slip ons that have become more brown because of being sun-faded. It's very subtle though. Never seen a company sell something like that.

[@jerrypomroy2375]

Carl, what knife is that??? Also, I have those suede zippered boots in the B-roll. Tecovas “Roy”. Except not in the honey suede. I’ve got the Granite color. I think they’re my favorite of my western boots. I’m hoping the wife picks me up the Tecovas “Nick” for Father’s Day.

I hate them. they suck! well except for one that has a wider toe box, that fine I suppose but not the most comfortable one. Oh well I had them for more than 20yrs. also the shoes won't smell as you mentioned with the no shoe socks equal to bad smell. unless their using it for a hard work and exercise than you're definitely wearing it wrong. should have stick to sport shoes.

[@DerpEye]

I have linen shirts, cotton shirts and whatever. The stuff is ok if it's short sleeved, otherwise you'll die in 35-40C heat. As for shorts, there's no jeans or pants to substitute a good pair of well made shorts in summer heat. Leather boots in 35+ degrees? LOL, sure, if you want to sweat like in a sauna. A decent leather/cotton light, laced shoe is more than enough. Loafers are shit btw. Thnx to climate change, i now live in a pretty hot country. There's no more snow in winter. For at least 3 months in a year you'll need to forget the cool styling and just try to survive the heat and humidity.
