Summer is the real season for street fashion – when looking cool and staying cool should at least attempt to run hand-in-hand. If you want to buy a few key on-trend items, a number of high street retailers have streetwear fashion wrapped up. For the man on the street, here are three key things to look out for.
Vintage Trainers
They never go out of style, and with collections such as the adidas trainers range at Size? to choose from you can’t go wrong. Your trainers give you great opportunities to make a unique statement with your outfit and unfussy sneakers in classic bold colours and fabrics such as suede straddle smart well and offer the bonus of comfort too.
Denim jacket
These are a style classic that come and go, but are phenomenally versatile. Wear buttoned up over a T-Shirt or open with a shirt and jeans. Just like the leaves on the trees, denim shades change with the seasons and this Spring/Summer a traditional mid-blue with brass buttons is a safe choice.
Satchel
The humble man bag has established itself as a firm fashion essential. By its nature the man bag needs to ooze practicality (after all, otherwise it’s just a hand bag). With this in mind, the key style to look out for this season is the satchel. You might opt for a branded bag in leather or even cord, just make sure it’s got a good strong strap and can carry your manly goods adequately.
Sportswear
Although this isn’t strictly an ‘item’, the approaching Olympics has inspired lots of brands to add a sporty feel to their ranges and streetwear in particular will revel in sportiness this spring. Look out for Olympic inspired prints, or get involved by wearing a well-chosen hooded top to take you from the gym to a bar.
