7 menswear outfit ideas for summer: From city break to barbecues

Summer is all about embracing the sun and enjoying time outdoors. It's the perfect time to update your wardrobe with stylish and functional outfits that cater to every summer occasion. Here at The Able Label, we recognise the importance of inclusive fashion and want everyone to feel comfortable and confident, no matter where they are this summer. Let's dive in and discover some of our favourite menswear outfits for the season of sun.

When it comes to beach days, choose lightweight and breathable clothing that allows for easy movement. Opt for a pair of comfortable shorts like the Bobby Elastic Waist VELCRO® Brand Fastening Shorts, paired with a lightweight shirt such as the Origami Cotton VELCRO® Brand Fastening Shirt. Don't forget a sun cap and a pair of sandals for added comfort.

For adventures in the countryside, you'll want a casual and practical ensemble. Pair the comfortable, Aubrey Straight Fit Elastic Waist Pull-On Trousers with a flattering and simple short sleeve such as the Hughey Easy Care VELCRO® Brand Fastening Shirt. Then you'll want to layer with something like the Damian Cotton VELCRO® Brand Fastening Overshirt to protect from any cold winds that might surprise you. Complete the look with sturdy sneakers or walking shoes for comfort and support.

Attending a summer wedding calls for a more sophisticated outfit. You'll be looking to fit in rather than stand out so a simple Hugo Non-Iron VELCRO® Brand Fastening Shirt in either the classical white or a more summery blue will be ideal. Pair it with our Blake smart trousers and accessorise with a complementary clip-on tie in a spectrum of colours. Finish off the look with leather loafers or dress shoes.

For a cruise vacation, embrace a mix of casual and dressier options. During the day, go for something like our Hector Cotton Stripe VELCRO® Brand Fastening Shirt paired with comfortable shorts like the Bobby Elastic Waist VELCRO® Brand Fastening Shorts. In the evenings, dress up your shirts with a pair of stylish chinos such as the Seb Straight Fit Cotton VELCRO® Brand Fastening Chino. Complete the look with loafers or boat shoes for a touch of nautical flair.

Enjoying a relaxing day at home? Choose comfortable and lightweight velcro-fastening pyjamas in a cool cotton-blend material with a pair of non-slip socks to keep you safe while wandering around the home and keep warm or cool where needed.

Family barbecues call for a balance of comfort and style. Choose casual yet polished outfits. Wear a stand out shirt like the Marcel Cotton Gingham VELCRO® Brand Fastening Shirt or the Archer SS Cotton Ikat VELCRO® Brand Fastening Shirt if you'd feel more comfortable in short sleeves. Finish off with some Seb chinos. The vibrant colours and patterns we've selected here will really help to embrace the summer spirit.

For a city break, dress up in smart-casual attire. starting off with some Aubrey Straight Fit Elastic Waist Pull-On Trousers, available in a variety of colours for your taste, then paired with a Henry Casual Check VELCRO® Brand Fastening Shirt and finally layered with a Jake Cotton Blend VELCRO® Brand Fastening Cardigan for cooler evenings.
