From Paris to New York, these street stylers seriously know how to dress for summer. Get inspired by these nautical and neutral outfits.
In nautical and neutral, these street stylers prove that summer dressing can be seriously stylish and sophisticated.
NAUTICAL STYLE FOR MEN
In the spirit of summer, we’re looking to nautical style for inspiration, including an overdose of striped Breton T-shirts, chinos and loafers. The combination of suit trousers in a colour other than black, dark stripes and black loafers makes for a more formal nautical look – perfect for summer nights. For a formal daytime look, classic beige chinos are always a solid option. Pair them with tan loafers and a striped shirt with a touch of colour for a cohesive nautical-themed look.

Try your hand at a punch of colour with bright shorts and shoes to match. Slip-on sneakers, alongside loafers, are the quintessential nautical-theme shoe – they scream seaside style and are as comfortable as they are casual. Pair your shorts with a button-up shirt; a neutral like white works well with colour and won’t distract from the bold choice of shorts. It will also go perfectly with the blazer you choose to finish off the look.

The chino short is a great alternative to a nautical classic, especially given how hot and sticky our South African summers can get. A pair in classic white will offer a sophisticated appeal to what is considered to be a casual item. Pair it with a blue (the colour of nautical dressing) floral shirt and a dark blazer for a refined and suave look.

Who knew an all-black outfit could be considered nautical? By wearing a pair of dark suit trousers with a black golfer and white converse, your seaside style is nailed. The key points to consider though are stripes – make sure your outfit incorporates white, red or navy stripes somewhere for it to be a convincing look.

DRESSING IN NEUTRALS FOR MEN
This summer we’re embracing neutrals, from light pink hues to all shades of beige. A pink suit for a man? Yes! If you choose a tone that is so light in colour that it could pass as a neutral then it’s not that out-there. And while a black T-shirt or top might seem like the more obvious choice in order to add a little edge, a white T-shirt will carry the look just as well, enabling you to nail the tonal trend to boot.

The humble chino. What would men do without it? Grab yourself a pair of light beige chinos and pair them with a crisp white golfer. Add texture to this minimalist look with a pair of woven leather shoes and tortoiseshell sunglasses.

Whether you prefer pants or shorts, the chino offers a stylish version of both in various shades of neutrals. From stone to beige, choose your pants first and then build your look from there. Opt for a short-sleeved button-up shirt and a belt in a similar hue to the pants. Finish off the look by adding a bucket hat/visor for added interest and street style/sporty appeal.

The shorts suit offers not only the perfect platform for neutral dressing, it’s also bang on-trend at the moment – especially among the street style crowd spotted outside the most popular runway shows. Choose a double-breasted blazer and a V-neck tee; this will elevate the outfit to a more formal standard with a classic yet modern edge.
