Perfect for places where it is summer down at your knees and winter up by your shoulders.

[@ImJustBoots]

oh, yeah I love that.

[@lucian8533]

hahahahahaahahahhahaah,i died ahhahahahhahahaha

[@dedekpranandhita1728]

Mike MakesRight omg so true hahaha

[@extraordinarilie]

That’s what I was thinking. Who layers tops while wearing shorts? That’s just absurd.

[@jasonlogan2825]

Exactly. This is ridiculous.

[@desmondmiles7877]

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!

Best comment.

[@amanworthy]

This dude is trying to kill Mr.Porter customers with heat stroke so they can't return anything lmao.

[@jenghiscanlui5097]

i'll die laughing with ur comment

[@EGSC7]

summer in Siberia

[@marcusthatcher6228]

Mr. Porter, you do know that the summer gets hot, right? Why are you putting jackets and cardigans on your model if this is summer wear?

[@davidlara105]

Yeah man, you're right I was thinking the same, too much clothing at the top.

[@hafssol82]

For the evening

[@JR-hi9bu]

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]

@@JR-hi9bu if you want to wear *that* much clothing in the summer be my guest. In Texas you'd sweat your ass off.

[@JR-hi9bu]

@@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.

[@blancaw6280]

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.

[@belugawhale6539]

Seriously who would wear this many layers in summer while wearing shorts??

[@rjjcms1]

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.

[@rjjcms1]

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.

[@lakshmijagroop4637]

why would you put a cardigan over a jean jacket?!?

[@SilentMover95]

3 layers in summer?! Y not? Great idea....

[@jossiezambrano92]

In which weather is it acceptable to wear 3 layers of clothing on top and then shorts on the bottom?

[@Fellowrser]

LA / Miami / NY

[@antonc108]

Do you know what is summer? 3 layers of tops? OMG.

[@productfeedback]

When its 35 degrees outside, shorts and singlet, thats all you can wear.

[@SteroidsMakeMeStrong]

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?????

[@Mike_Jones281]

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.

[@thomaslucia3059]

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.

[@davecsaszarable]

I live in Scandinavia and if I needed that much layering I would just put on pants

[@thomaslucia3059]

LOL...well said :-)

[@cameronw6259]

+Thomas Lucia most of them would be fine if they took off a layer

[@TXchadTX]

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.

[@harrycg95]

I wouldn't even wear this many layers on some winter days!

[@Lucahamers]

This is a fucking trainwreck.

[@SP-pn7xx]

Even the model looks confused by these outfits...

[@citizenjamie]

this video is the biggest fail

[@SineQNon]

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.

[@Swayze_S.L]

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.

[@davidlara105]

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.

[@Tadzio5050]

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!

[@ChomboMambo]

Wow. Those shorts are too loose and too long. A nice pair of tailored shorts that reach above the knee would look a lot cleaner.

[@JustNam66]

Summer in the Philippines with that outfit. Mr. Sun hi.

[@jesselyjay4710]

like the navy boat shoes!

[@josemanuelalvaradohernande8789]

Five ways to wear denim and gucci horsebit loafers!! Nice videos

[@kumitetoday]

They all look good, but like everyone is saying, if its so cold that you have to wear a jacket or sweater, then you wouldn't be wearing shorts.

[@fire5736]

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.

[@MrLexanderluther1986]

Out & About and Garden Party are put together the best, IMO. The others have way too much layering for shorts.

[@mickeysealtoe9719]

So many layers. Are we talking about winter or spring?

[@nyeahhhhhh1008]

I like the looks....the only thing wrong with it are the shorts

[@gasparghent9383]

Lol pretty funny given it's meant to be about the shorts. Seems this stylist has failed his brief!

[@RoroCoco1672]

The garden party one probably needs an off white fedora hat

[@lukewarm711]

Don't forget this is a British summer... so basically winter. Don't get too mad about the layers lol.

[@didiwang5499]

Whats the name of the shoes in the second outfit???

[@TheDanielduong]

I love they choice of pink! Very creative! Thank you for sharing. 🙏✨

[@romankozak5169]

Found my new favourite channel. Subscribed!

[@jagotiberan2181]

News flash: you don’t always have to wear a million layers when you’re wearing a pair of pink shorts

[@locngo5066]

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.

[@pbarguy]

Ninety percent of the time he layers way to much!!he should always lose the final layer

[@navyforeveryoungjean-phili5940]

The fact that you suggested the last look for a summer wedding really pissed me off.

[@davecsaszarable]

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

[@xboxfan0101010]

Awesome!

[@milanvdv]

Short and shirt DONE Most difficult would be finding the right shoes Not too dressy but still stylish

[@Gregory8732]

Must be a cool summer in Britain

[@ASAD0789]

who the hell wear's so many layers in summer !! its damn hot !!!

[@perre6385]

Exactly I was laughing the whole time 😂

[@LottoLogista]

considering his accent, i gather he is from London. it doesn't get extremely warm in the UK, let alone London so i understand the layers

[@jonjonordonio3049]

LOL too much layers for summer , id rather wear a white shirt ,denim jacket , short and shoes !

[@aaaaaaaaaaaa808]

Very cool ideas, maybe a bit too much for my kind of summer but liking the shorts.

[@creativeartbyluvensky]

To make ch layer for summer... I like “Aout & About”.

[@palmdodo]

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? :)

[@PanjiTianda]

Hi, Mr, porter.. did you got some style for skinny guy like me :D Its hard to choose a good style :D

[@davecsaszarable]

Don't you see how skinny models are? I'm sure they aren't any buffer than you are

[@estebandelacruz7958]

I would like to add a leather jacket to #1 it would be fantastic

[@leyway]

Not bad.. But i think i kinda liked what the stylist was wearing more lol.. Simple.. Chic.. Elegant

[@2dahiphop]

Inspired I swear I'm gonna be one of the most dapper men on the planet!

[@BennyIsip]

classy as always

[@bcastiliogne9196]

Summer showers.... but without the jacket

[@calebroberts811]

Where in the world is the season of "summer" such that you can wear a chunky knit cardigan?

[@calebchorvat5258]

They are probably dressing for English summers, where the average maximum is like 20 degrees Celsius/ 68-70 Fahrenheit

[@FatGayandTired]

I have no idea what you are thinking-Yes they look stylish but any weather that allows for shorts should not allow for double layers of shirts with a jacket.

[@Viktorakara]

Way to many layers... Especially with the shorts!!

[@ca0513]

how did this stylist get his job

[@hootiehoo92]

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..

[@ElCazador66]

Here in Brazil impossible!! But I like the combinations

[@vriendelijkegroet]

The best look was with just a Tshirt. I bet also the most affordable ook. These prices...

[@BXKIDD11]

Song please?

[@nathanstamper7403]

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

[@jeff8253]

yeah lets wear shorts because its summer but put 2 layers of long sleeve shirts

[@tannermcclellan1955]

When your carry on is full and you tryna smuggle more clothes in the plane

[@citizenjamie]

three layers in summer? let's be real

[@Teddylyons]

What about other color shorts

[@dontworryaboutit42069]

yes

[@NUFCdab3st]

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

[@sirtristan01]

umm summer showers you can't see the thing on the bottom, what's the point of having it

[@septemberbabie]

These pieces are perfect for UK summer not suitable for USA summer.

[@magnakid]

Ccthe blue cardigan would of went better with the pink short

[@muijames]

come on , this is summer, no layering

[@MrThriftyFashion]

lol RIGHT!!!!!!

[@MrThriftyFashion]

lol RIGHT!

[@ruim2495]

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......

[@ExtremeAnalDischarge]

I think all the dear old ladies will be clutching their handbags with a little less force when this dapper young man gets on the elevator now. Well done.

[@Mike_Jones281]

I dress dapper and ladies still clutch their handbags when I am around... I guess they think that I work on Wall ST.

[@rachelkoks]

more like for spring than summer

[@roger767]

british summers aren't that cold. If they were why put on shorts if you need to go with cardigans :)

[@bl4ckm4tr1x8]

look, if it's hot enough to wear shorts it's not cold enough to wear sweaters. and here I thought you were supposed to be the style experts.

[@orestegallo]

Five Ways To Wear: Shorts - YES Five Ways To Wear: Shorts in Summer - NO

[@jauipop]

How cold is the British Summer???

[@naveenmagapu4670]

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.

[@Dadee3]

You wrote Spring wrong.

[@MrGhiafam]

Let me guess, the next piece is also from JCrew. kinda obvious.

[@walkerskii]

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

[@RadoDani]

Ditch the sweater

[@ShawnDeLaCruz]

I'm confused. If it's warm enough to wear shorts, why would you dress like it's snowing above your waste?

[@juansamudio1171]

look I love the style but it doesn’t really make sense it’s more for like modeling but summer i’ll boil

[@JA19962014]

WAY TOO MANY LAYERS MR. PORTER.

[@Dominikmj]

Brilliant video. Though a bit too dandy'ish for me...

[@jenghiscanlui5097]

damn i'd be dripping in sweat

[@daniellimTV]

I'd be perspiring dogs if I dressed like that..

[@lombekabaso301]

a summer in Dubai with all that layer? i think its good but not for summer.... even if fashion beats the weather...u cant wear a vest in Alaska.

[@bayonetwork42]

Who wears three layers in summer?

[@s1dblack]

I didn't know how to put on shorts before, this has really helped!!!
