Beach to Bar
For the first time in a long while, we're finally allowed to spend summer outdoors. While a lot has changed when it comes to traveling, one thing remains constant—summer style. The time has come to say goodbye to our trusty sweatpants and bring out our carefree Bermuda shorts. Take this much-needed break as an opportunity to show off your style. We may now live in a casual world, but that doesn't mean you can't make this season the most stylish yet.
In the mood for a month-long vacay or just a full weekend stay? Do yourself a favor and pack an ensemble that's ready for anything, nobody has time for an outfit change when the party is in full swing. To help you ease into a celebratory mood, we've rounded up the best beach-to-bar outfits to beat the heat in and bring the beat in.
Weekends with the guys call for a shirt and shorts combo. This may be a staple summer uniform but it can still be dressed up. A linen shirt in a neutral shade makes all the difference. Sport sleek shades that complement your chinos. Finish it off with minimalist slip-on sandals instead of sneakers, so you can dip into the water and enjoy happy hour in no time.

Summer dressing doesn't always equate to lazy dressing. Gentlemen are expected to look put together and appropriate even on vacation. Mix formal and casual pieces by layering a vertical striped blazer over a horizontal striped polo shirt for a dynamic print-on-print look. Accessorize with a monotone watch and shades, after all, it's the little things that matter the most. Bring out your cozy jeans and top it all off with versatile leather sneakers that'll be suitable at the beach and in the bar as you dance the night away.

Preppy guys always aim to impress whether they're soaking up the sun or enjoying a night out. The key to acing this look is pairing a tailored Oxford shirt with Bermuda shorts that have a crisp finish. Drape a neat sweatshirt over your shoulders to add an aura of sophistication. Tie it all together with a waist bag and sandals so you can stand out in the crowd and easily score drinks for yourself and your friends.
