I hear ya - T Sierra! Great tips - by Courtney! And speaking of Shirts - I love Polo shirts… And when it comes to Polo shirts - I like to wear the solid colors the most, they just feel right to me. Not to mention that you can pair them up with other clothing very easily! My favorite go to color is black, and sometimes white - they look and feel great! …you just can’t go wrong with any of them! Anyway, that’s my two cents. -Carlos Verde - Dating Tips

I updated my swim trunks with Tucanns. Fragrances are: Light Blue Intense, Light Blue, Mercedes Benz Cologne, and Bleu de Chanel EDP in the evening. Tucanns are perfect for built guys, very comfortable, and hit mid thigh. My wife isn't used to seeing trunks that length but does like how they look on me. They're worth a look if your shopping for trunks.

[@josephstevens9888]

This past weekend, it was very warm wear I live (Michigan), I broke out my long-sleeve white linen shirt rolled-up at the sleeves, light-weight tan pants, and summer leather shoes.

My favourite part about summer is being able to wear better hats. Canadian climate limits hat options for half of the year 😅 Flat cap is my go-to but I wear a bowler when I want to elevate. I'm curious about a Panama hat this year

[@CourtneyRyan]

[@Marcusforealius]

What shoes do you recommend with linen pants? I have a pair but can never find the right footwear to go with

[@seansimmons73]

I just bought a bunch of bamboo shirts along with some linens. Bamboo is as cool as linen but doesn't wrinkle as much & drapes better. Of course I also picked up Hawaiian shirts(linen also) for days when I need a bold color

[@christophergraves6725]

I completely agree with long sleeve linen shirts rolled up halfway up the forearm. I wear these all year round. Also linen pants are cool and comfortable and stylish in the Spring and Summer. I always wear light or bright colors in the Summer in the daytime to reflect heat and to look Southern; I am proud of my heritage. Also, the cotton shirts with patterns are good as well as the old fashioned Polo shirts. As for shoes, I wear a Seavees shoe, similar to what Don Johnson wore in Miami Vice. I also agree on shorter swimsuits. I would and do go even shorter with square trunks like Daniel Craig wore in *Casino Royale.* I have to disagree on white t-shirts.

[@davidschutz2819]

Fitted chinos and button down is the choice for me this summer

[@Introvertedalpha]

🔥🔥

[@ronbarry4922]

Great list. I think the only thing I’d add is a guayabera shirt. It’s a cool, classic, and functional piece 👍🏼

[@haloxiii213]

I love linen...pants and shirt. I also invested in a great iron.

[@ethanmiller5487]

Hey Courtney, plastic fibers actually dont soak up water as much as natural fibers. In the Corps we said cotton kills because it makes all the chaffing. Linens tend to be loose fitting making them feel cooler hence desert tribes wearing loose linen. I think thats neat!

[@drip369]

For me linen is hard to come by so I always go after cotton, as I don't like polyester because it makes me itchy and of course it traps in heat, and it doesn't iron well (holding crease that is)

[@drip369]

Just like when she brought up no show socks it is hard to find cotton in the men's section so I actually go through the women section to stock up on cotton no show socks

[@alistaircorstorphine7469]

I love olive green, my summer gear is olive green shirt,olive green cargo/combat trousers and a pair of Oakley patrol boots, and night time some 511 Stryke trousers, with 511 jacket and pro xt patrol boots, I don’t do shorts ( only when I’m swimming)

[@JT-rx1eo]

I wore that Floris Neroli Voyage a few days ago. Very nice. Wore Creed EROLFA last night in the Vegas heat. Best oceanic/marine scent in history. Perfect for summer. I've been looking for summer linen shirts and pants (short and long) in white or light pastel colors but haven't yet been successful.

[@PabloGonzalez-dm3xm]

Hey Courtney, I was wondering if youd be interested in making a video about tips on how to style shoes that aren't the standard black and white. A safe outfit would be black bottoms with a matching top. But I'm interested in outfitting the shoes using complimentary colors for more variety.

[@stephenw5488]

Interesting, my experience with natural vs synthetic fibers is in fact the opposite. Certain synthetics, especially some of the more versatile cut athletic shirts keep me way cooler in the summer, especially with heavy sweating Edit: That being said I think linen is a great idea, but I hardly wear cottons anymore, and don’t wear wools until the fall due to heat

[@simonyu8838]

There's a difference between synthetics used in athletic or techwear that's woven to better deal with sweat and synthetics used just to keep clothing costs as cheap as possible. Think of how much less breathable a fully polyester suit is versus a wool suit (even just a normal one, not a tropical wool or other weave meant to be more breathable in heat)

[@stephenw5488]

I see, thanks for the clarification! It seems like as ever the answer is “it depends” / “it’s complicated” and there are always exceptions

[@bros4654]

I agree, I avoid cotton like the plague during summer months.

[@ronbarry4922]

If you get a merino wool it’ll pull moisture away and keep you cool extremely well. But you will pay more for it.

[@x-man5056]

All the wicking fabrics are synthetic blends that I know of. Some include cotton for comfort. Cotton absorbs but doesn't let go. The wicking fabrics come out of the washer nearly dry. Hanes has some great white tees that are stretchy and wick. Underwear too of course. Courtney may have been thinking of some of the older rayon golf shirts that were like wearing a plastic shirt. Also, I've never been to Cleveland (R&R HOF would be cool) but if it's really humid there, that will slow down the respiration of moister out of the fabric. I have "Hyperhydrosis", used to live in N Carolina, wicking shirts and underwear helped me there, but I moved to Nevada, it makes a huge difference. hotter here, but feels cooler because 10-15% humidity.

[@Spectacular-Spider-Dan]

Hey Courtney! Thanks for this list, I'll definitely be picking up a lot of these! I design clothing for my characters in my fantasy novels, so I'm always looking for interesting fashion. Do you have any favorite fashion designers? One of the ones I like a lot is Alexander Mcqueen.

[@thatboringblenderguy]

Courtney, what are your thoughts on RAW cologne?

[@BlackieNuff]

When choosing fragrances, it's not just about the scent of the fragrance, you gotta account for how it will react with your own body chemistry. I found out that what smells great on one person can smell downright foul and like a pungent stench on someone else. And it's not about hygiene or showering (or lack thereof) - it's just body chemistry. Experiment and find what works on and with you, and not just what is popular.

My summer goto must be a dress. Oh bwoi do they look good on women. Makes me want to say hi, to bad I’m shy. My mother told me she is very happy with her linen trousers, she speaks wonders about that textile, I might have to give it a test and see. Maybe sometime. Your grandpa reminds me of two and a half men Charlie sheen. He must be/have been the man. I miss my grandparents too. I only have left my granny from mother side, too bad I have always been far away and felt family disconnection, living in Spain, with everybody around the globe. I once read I would be happy once I started a family, yet my past makes me fear that so much. Well.. nice video, will be helpful for people.

[@luxkarma4258]

ok but where can we buy these clothes, what are some of the best bang for your buck brands that will get you good use out of these type of clothes

[@Mew__]

Ah, fantastic timing, Courtney! I've been meaning to ask you this for a while: I'm a guy in my early twenties, but whenever I wear shorts, I feel like a teenager. This obviously conflicts with the hot weather: at home I don't mind wearing them, but in public, I'd rather not feel emasculated by my choice of fashion, but sweating bullets in public is equally uncomfortable. All my shorts go up to the knee (not a fan of the "I might be in my underpants" look). I always wear sneakers, and my opinion is still out on short socks. Any recommendations or tips?

[@michaelrespicio5683]

I'm not Courtney but to be honest, dress for the weather. If it's hot one day and you want to leave the house, just wear the shorts. Lots of people do including myself, especially in countries like Southeast Asia where it's literally hot all year round, and I'm also in my early 20s. As long as you're not naked or look suspicious, don't concern yourself with what anyone else thinks. It takes more than an outfit to get someone's attention. For example, if you can elegantly play on a public piano during the summer, nobody cares about you wearing shorts and you get the good kind of attention. It's a win-win.

[@drip369]

You shouldn't feel emasculated when men for many many many years were short shorts and women had to wear skirts only and as a guy who never skipped leg day I love showing off my legs. I feel very masculine but I also am masculine all around
