stylish basic summer tops for men

Every girl has a basic wardrobe for each season or a at least a capsule but we seldom speak of basics for men. We decided to correct that and start with men’s tops for summer – what each guy should have in his wardrobe to look stylish and be ready for many occasions.

White Shirts

A white button up is a must for every guy, you can wear it not only to the office or special occasions but everywhere adding a bit of chic to your look. Roll up the sleeves of your white shirt and add shorts, jeans or chinos, and your outfit is done.

Basic Tees

Basic, plain tees without prints should be always at hand! White, grey, navy, black are basic colors to choose from but of course you may wear any plain and solid color you like – just avoid prints as they lower the compatibility of your tee.

Polo Shirts

A polo shirt is an alternative to a tee when you wanna look a bit more chic, elegant and preppy. It’s not a shirt yet but still, and it’s very comfortable. Choose good quality of fabric and basic colors and you’ll raise your summer wardrobe to a new level.
