What is the summer chic dress code?

What does a summer chic outfit look like?

With summer chic, you combine items that unite quality and elegance with summery comfort. Light fabrics, calm colours and a well-groomed yet relaxed look. Below are a few essentials:

• Cotton or linen shirt
• Piqué polo shirt
• Chino in a light shade
• Loafers, preferably suede
• Linen blazer or light overshirt

Summer chic styling

• Let summery colours play the leading role: white, light blue, sand, camel, taupe and olive green.
• Natural materials such as linen, cotton and merino are the perfect base; they breathe and look luxurious.
• Wearing prints? Keep them subtle. Think of a micro-check, chalk stripe or a light stripe.
• Leave the top button of your shirt or polo open for a relaxed impression. A stylish pair of sunglasses and a nice watch complete the look.
• Visible socks are an absolute no-go with this style. Wear no-show socks or nothing at all

Summer chic don’ts

With Summer chic, you look effortlessly well-groomed without an overload of details. So keep in mind that you don't wear the following:

• Sportswear or casual streetwear
• Striking prints or bright colours
• Too dark colours or heavy, thick fabrics
