Beachwear for men

Life style

Most of us are waiting for summer to take a vacation and rush to where the sun leaves a bronze tan and the water gives new strength. Someone is attracted by the ocean, others traditionally go to the sea, and still others are quite happy with the river beach. It's a matter of taste! But in any case, beachwear for men becomes an obligatory attribute of the wardrobe during the holidays. How to choose things to look spectacular and stylish even on vacation? We will reveal a few secrets that will help you quickly get ready for vacation and not hit your face in the mud.

Choosing the top for a beach look

T-shirt

This top is most common on the beach. Why? Firstly, the T-shirt is incredibly comfortable, and secondly, it is practical. In addition, while you are in it, there is no need to take a steam bath about a collar rubbing your neck or a button that has come off inappropriately. Today you can choose a T-shirt to match any wardrobe item (shorts, sandals, cap). And the variety of colors offered can satisfy the tastes of teenagers, young people aged 25-35 or men over 50. Wearing a T-shirt, you can walk around the resort town, go on an excursion to local attractions and even take a yacht cruise. This is the 'put on and wear' option that everyone dreams of!

Which T-shirt to choose? The neckline can be any (round, V-shaped), but it is better to approach the selection of the length with all seriousness. Remember that a T-shirt is considered ideal if the hem reaches the middle of the buttocks. This option does not look like a baby's undershirt or a women's mini-dress. T-shirts look spectacular with Bermuda, shorts, denim, low-cut sweatpants, casual chinos. Here, the choice will depend on the personal preferences of the man. But do not ignore the rules for combining colors in clothes, since this is one of the paramount secrets of the style of any, including the beach look.

T-shirt

The main advantage of this wardrobe item is that it allows you to demonstrate to others the cast muscles of the arms, back, and chest. That's when you get pleasure from the thought that you have been working on your body in the gym for months on end! In addition, the jersey is the optimal solution for a hot day or doing any outdoor sports (beach volleyball, surfing, etc.). It does not hinder movement, dries quickly and allows the wind to cool the body naturally better than a T-shirt or shirt with sleeves.

For a beach wardrobe, a plain or printed classic T-shirt, racer, sports models are suitable. They go well with summer jeans, as well as sport-style shorts and trousers.

Shirt with sleeves

This is an ideal option for those who, even on vacation, do not accept a sporty style of clothing or decide to visit a local restaurant, a gambling house, or a formal event at which one cannot take off their jacket in the evening. During the day, opt for plaid, vertical stripes, abstract and floral prints (like Hawaiian style) in breathable cotton or linen. They are appropriate on the beach, in cafes, resort shops. For an evening prom, you can stock up on a more spectacular silk shirt. In this case, the priority is for a solid color, as well as a print in the form of royal lilies and a thin strip.

In a vacation bow, the shirt is equally organic in union with jeans, slightly tapered at the bottom or straight trousers made of cotton and linen, Bermuda.

Polo

We can say that it is a transitional form between a T-shirt and a short-sleeved shirt. Therefore, polo companions should be looked for precisely among their partners. I recommend leaning your choice towards classic or laconic sports trousers. Bermuda shorts, denim and knee-length cotton shorts are also in favor.

We select the bottom for a beach look

Above, I have already mentioned what bottom T-shirts, T-shirts, polos and shirts are combined with. So I'll just list the possible variations again.

Shorts

They are most popular among men who have a rest on the river, sea, ocean coast. These can be short models in a sporty style, shorts of medium length, as well as slightly above the knee or 5-10 centimeters below it (Bermuda shorts). It is optimal to take with you a bottom made of natural or synthetic fabrics, which are distinguished by high air permeability and dry quickly. The latter are found in the models of such sports brands as Nike, Adidas, Umbro, and others.

Pants

Linen and cotton models of light colors with straight or slightly tapered cut are of particular priority. The choice of the bottom of the outfit depends on the individual taste of the man, as well as the place where you intend to wear the pants. On the beach, models with straight legs and in sport-style are relevant, but chinos will harmoniously fit into a set of clothes for an excursion, walking around the resort town, visiting a cafe, a nightclub. Bring classic trousers in dark colors if you plan to attend a formal event or any other formal party.

Choice of fabrics

In the summertime, clothing made from natural fabrics (cotton, linen, knitwear) is still a priority. It allows you to optimize the thermal balance of the body and not overheat under the scorching rays of the sun. However, the global chemical industry does not stand still, working for the benefit of consumers. Therefore, today many sports stores offer beachwear for men, made of no less practical and functional textiles with a longer service life. It is based on synthetic fibers that dry in the shortest possible time, are not afraid of aggressive natural environments and even allow the body to breathe. All these little things only increase the pleasure of a man from rest.

Beach shoes

When choosing this component of the image, pay attention to its convenience, practicality and lightness. After all, the beach is a mass of loose, penetrating sand everywhere, as well as water, which can be excessively salty. Your shoes must be able to withstand the harsh environment and not chafe your feet. Why darken your vacation with such trifles?

Flip flops are the best shoes for the beach Beach shoes for boating Sandals – comfortable shoes on the beach

Among the beach leaders are:

  • Flip flops;
  • Sandals;
  • Birkenstock;
  • Slipons;
  • Special slippers for walking on coral.

By the way, birkenstocks have proved to be excellent for walking around the city, along with moccasins or topsiders. If you plan to attend formal events on vacation, be sure to add classic summer shoes to your luggage.

Accessories

No stylish look can be complete without final details. And the beach ensemble is no exception. The traditional attributes of such bows are:

  • Swimming trunks;
  • Headdress;
  • Sunglasses;
  • A bag.

Today, there are many styles of swimming trunks, from short to a kind of mid-length shorts. It can take a long time to describe the advantages or disadvantages of each of them. But any man makes his choice anyway. Why? The choice of swimming trunks depends on a number of factors, in the first place among which is the individual structure of the male body. So be sure to try it on before buying. Only those models in which you are most comfortable are worthy of approval. An important role here is also played by the presence of strings instead of buttons or zippers. It is worth paying attention to the presence of a special mesh inside the swimming trunks, which will not allow wet fabric to stick to the body when you leave the water. And don't forget to spare a pair of this beach wardrobe priority. The ideal option here would be a duet of swimming trunks in dark and light colors. The first of them is optimal at the beginning of a spa vacation, while you have not yet had time to tan, while the second will effectively emphasize the bronze skin color acquired after prolonged exposure to the sun.

The preferences for a particular headdress are individual for each man. Someone likes a straw hat or a textile panama, others cannot imagine life without a cap. The only important thing is that they do not squeeze your head, but sit on it quite freely. The choice of the assortment of colors is very wide: from a neutral palette of shades to bright and rich colors. Printed hats are very effective, but it is more difficult to organically combine them with clothes in a bow. You can read a little more about hats in our article Men's hats: 11 types of hats.

Sunglasses should be matched to the shape of the man's face (circle, oval, square, heart, rhombus). We have already written on this topic in detail in the article How to choose glasses for a man – infographics. But the color of the lenses plays a secondary role here.

When it comes to bags, there is no better option for going to the beach than a laconic tote. It is usually not very bulky, but it can accommodate all the things you need for sunbathing and swimming. Including accessories such as a wallet, smartphone, room key. Very popular with men and backpack. It does not stretch your hands, it is very useful when on the way to the hotel you decide to make a couple of purchases at the local market or in the nearest shops. Those who prefer a sporty style of clothing will love the spacious workout bag.
