Summer is right around the corner baby, which means it’s time for boat parties, fun in
the sun, beaches, and more importantly, BEACHES .
Summer is prime time for getting girls, so to hook you guys up, I’m gonna tell you
the 5 summer style secrets you NEED to know, to help you stand out.
#1 Use a blister block stick.
Summer is basically synonymous with sockless.
Whether you’re wearing loafers, driving shoes, or vans, going sockless is an easy
way to look more stylish.
This is simple shit... you guys know this.
Since you know this, you know that going sockless or even wearing no-show socks can cause blisters,
especially around your heel.
To prevent this, use a blister block stick aka an anti blister balm, which is basically
lube,, you rub it onto the back of your heels to prevent friction, so you don’t get those
nasty blisters.
I had no idea this existed until last summer, when my mom showed me and it’s been a game-changer.
You can also try getting a blister gel guard, which is basically a gel piece you stick to
your heel to block any rubbing.
So while all the other guys are too scared and too blistered to go sockless this summer,
your heels will be free of blisters and your outfits will look even sleeker without socks.
And if you’re into wearing no-show socks then those work too, I’ll break that option
down later.
#2 Use an antiperspirant spray on your back.
Aside from clear skies and abundant sunshine, the most common sight you’ll see during
the summer is dudes in gray with a sweaty slide of sweat dripping down their back.
This is SO common that many guys actually avoid wearing gray during the summer because
they KNOW they’re gonna be sweating and they’re gonna have a puddle of sweat on
their back.
And if you’re wearing a backpack, forget about it!
All you gotta do is, get a high quality antiperspirant spray to spray onto your back to prevent sweating
and perspiration and boom, you’ll drastically reduce the amount of back sweat you get AND
you can leave the house without looking like a caveman.
You’re welcome.
#3 Don’t wear underwear underneath your bathing suit.
Oh my fucking god.
I will never understand why guys do this.
Like seriously, it’s so fucking uncomfortable, who would willingly wear soaking wet underwear???
Let me explain something to you guys, you know the net that exists inside of bathing
suits?
That exists to hold your junk together in place so you DON’T have to wear underwear
when you put on a bathing suit.
If you wear underwear while also wearing a bathing suit it’s the same shit as wearing
two pairs of underwear, which is something you would never do.
And besides, having underwear or boxers popping out of the top of your bathing suit just looks
really goofy so DON’T do it.
And I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this, but I will, because so many guys do
this, but please wear an ACTUAL bathing suit.
Don’t just throw on a pair of basketball shorts and think that counts because NEWSFLASH
- iit doesn’t.
It makes you look like dude who just escaped from jail and just ran straight to the beach
which is probably not the vibe you wanna give off if you’re trying to look high status.
#4 Wear breathable fabrics to keep you cool.
Breathable fabrics are the shit like cotton, linen, and chambray.
Cotton is good because it allows air to circulate & move freely through the fabric, so it’ll
keep air flowing and you’ll feel cooler.
Linen is more expensive but it’s extremely breathable and lightweight, so it’s also
a really good option for the summertime.
Linen pants and linen shirts are awesome, the only thing is that they get SO MANY FUCKING
WRINKLES.
Like holy shit, you can just finish ironing a shirt, just to have it all wrinkled just
10 minutes later.
So be cautious with this fabric.
Chambray is also cotton but it has more threading in it so it’s finer and can breathe really
well too.
Cotton is the best bang for your buck in terms of breathability, price and not having to
deal with fucking wrinkles.
So if you’re looking to get some dope cotton pieces for the summer, then I recommend checking
out The Tie Bar.
The Tie Bar has been featured in GQ and Esquire plenty of times because they provide luxurious
menswear at super affordable prices.
Which brings me to tip #5
#5 Lose the board shorts and flip flops.
You can still look fresh as fuck without sweating your nuts off.
Our partner, The Tie Bar has dress shirts and button downs specifically designed for
summer that come in lighter and softer cotton fabrics to make sure your clothes are breathable
and soft, like linen, without having to deal with those fucking wrinkles I was talking
about before.
And if you somehow start sweating, they have pocket squares for just 10 bucks so you can
wipe that shit right off baby.
They also hook you up with dress pants that are partially made up of spandex so they’re
stretchy and comfortable, which is essential during the heat.
Their pants come in a trim or athletic fit so if you’ve been maxing out at the squat
rack lately, then they got you covered there too, so you don’t have to worry about busting
through your pants like the Hulk.
Unless of course you want to.
Both of the fits are modern and tailored, not baggy and boxy, like most guys wear when
they have to dress up even a little.
Their spandex pants are also good for rocking on casual dates, going out at night, chillin
at the resort or any occasion really, because their athletic and trim fits make them super
versatile.
I’ll have The Tie Bar linked below for you guys to check out, they’re doing a crazy
deal right now, where you can get a dress shirt for just $55 bucks or 3 for $140 which
is ridiculously cheap for dress shirts.
They also have a bunch of affordable accessories, like no show socks, ties starting at 19 bucks
and tie bars at $15, so they fit right into any budget.
So if you need to go to a wedding, a sweet 16, or even just a nice dinner this summer,
definitely check them out.
#6 Wear sunglasses with mirrored lenses.
First of all, sunglasses with mirrored lenses are cool as hell.
Facts.
And secondly, they help reflect the sun away from your face, making your face sweat less
and attract less heat.
You could also invest in a big ass mirror and hold it in front of your body at all times
but somehow mirrored sunglasses seem like the more practical option.
They’re a good way to stay stylish and cool at the same time, especially since most guys
can’t pull off mirrored lenses.
So once you start rocking them, you’ll really stand out.
Not to mention, you can get them pretty much anywhere, that sells sunglasses so you can
get them for relatively cheap.
Hashtag money team baby.
#7 Skip coffee.
I actually didn’t know this, but after doing some thorough godly research in the secret
Olympian library of the gods located in a crypt beneath the mountains, I discovered
that since coffee stimulates your body to keep you awake, it also activates your sweat
glands.
And if your sweat glands are activated, then that means you’re gonna be more likely to
sweat.
I’ve recommended this before, but I typically skip coffee on most days to avoid needing
it to feel energized during the day, especially in the morning.
If you are gonna drink it, then like I’ve recommended in the past, only drink one cup
and sip on it over a longer period of time, so you get the alertness from the caffeine
without the crash or crazy spike in energy.
#8 Wear a button down with your bathing suit.
Instead of wearing a typical t-shirt or tank top, like most guys do, when they go to the
beach or the pool, you can easily separate yourself by wearing a nice lightweight button
down.
It makes you look a lot cooler and you’ll stay a lot cooler, since button downs are
typically more breathable than t-shirts.
And since you’re on the beach or by the pool, it’s perfectly acceptable to unbutton
all the buttons and show off your gains while still allowing for some airflow so you don’t
sweat too much.
This is such an easy thing that all of you guys can do it, to make yourselves look a
lot more attractive and important, since only rich guys typically do this.
So once you throw one of these on by the pool, you’ll look a lot more luxurious and all
the gold-diggers will have their eyes glued to you.
And that’s it.
In summary:
Use a blister block stick Use an antiperspirant spray for your back
Don’t wear underwear with your bathing suits Wear breathable fabrics
Lose the boardshorts and flip flops Wear shades with mirrored lenses
Skip coffee And wear a button down with your bathing suit
