There’s something undeniably lessen about a man who can pull off sheer linen in summer without trying too hard. The secret? Confidence, clever layering, and girding grounded in earthy tones. Greetings from Koh Samui, The White Lotus island.
✔ The Statement: The Diaphanous Linen Polo
Lightweight, breathable, and just the right amount of risqué. Choose a semi-sheer linen polo in off-white, sand, or hostile to beige. Let the texture do the talking—no logos needed.
Style tip:Wear it open-collared with a thin white tank or permission it bare for beach days. Avoid printed undershirts; keep it tonal and clean.
✔ The Match: Free Linen Trousers
Ditch the shorts. Go for full-length linen trousers in a matching or complementary hue—think taupe, cream, or deadened olive. Look for a slightly tapered cut with a drawstring or elastic waistband.
Style tip:Roll the hems just above the ankle. It breaks “Italian summer” without screaming it.
✔ The Grounding: Earth-Toned Sandals
Choose leather or suede sandals in tan, rust, or shady brown. They should look worn-in but not worn-out.
Style tip:Go for a criss-cross strap or closed-toe mule style if you homelessness to elevate the look from beach to brunch.
✔ The Bold Finisher: Oversized Rattan Tote
Yes, men can—and should—display a statement tote. Choose a structured rattan bag with bold black text, a wink to market bags and strand bums with attitude.
Style tip:Make sure the bag is oversized, structured, and has strong handles. The black print totals contrast and turns it into a graphic piece that complements the earthy neutrals.
