Men’s Summer 2025 Fashion Trends To Buy Now!

Summer’s a vibe — and it’s also an invitation. An invitation to lighten up (literally), to express yourself a little more, and to wear clothes that feel as good as they look. These men’s trends aren’t about chasing the runway or trying to be someone you’re not. They’re about refining your look and embracing the season in pieces that are stylish, wearable, and, most importantly, you.

Whether you’re lounging poolside, grabbing iced coffees on a Saturday morning, hopping on a flight, or just navigating the heat in style — these trends will carry you through summer with confidence.

Camp Collar Shirts

The unofficial shirt of summer 2025. Camp collar shirts are having a major moment — again — and they deserve it. There’s a reason you saw them all over White Lotus Season 3. They're vacation-coded, breezy, and effortlessly cool. But even if you’re not waking up in a Sicilian villa (we wish), camp collar shirts bring that same energy to your daily life.

They’re cut in a relaxed fit, hang just right, and look great with both shorts and trousers. Whether you go for a soft solid or something loud and print-heavy, the open collar and boxy cut give off “I’m stylish but chill” energy. Wear it buttoned up with linen pants or open over a tank for the perfect “just got back from Europe” look — even if you're just heading to brunch.

Sweater Polos

When it's too hot for layers but you still want texture and structure, enter: the sweater polo. It’s polished, preppy, and somehow makes you look like you know how to order wine in French. Sweater polos feel luxe without the weight. They skim the body in all the right ways and instantly elevate jeans or shorts.

Think of them as the older, hotter brother of the basic polo. They’re perfect for rooftop dinners, casual date nights, or throwing under a light jacket on cooler evenings. Look for retro-inspired colorways — stripes, muted pastels, even a little piping detail. A good sweater polo turns heads in a subtle, “what cologne is he wearing?” kind of way.

Knit Tank Tops

If there’s one piece in your closet that quietly does the most this summer, it’s the knit tank. A little elevated, a little unexpected, and totally hot-weather appropriate. These tanks have texture, interest, and intention — way more style cred than your basic undershirt.

They hug the body without clinging, give a ‘70s nod without being costume-y, and pair beautifully with tailored shorts or wide-leg pants. Throw one on under a short-sleeve button-up and you’ve got a layered look that still breathes. It’s giving “casual summer art gallery opening” or “I know where to find the best wine bar in town.” Embrace it.

Short Shorts

Let’s have an honest moment: if your shorts still hover around your knees, it’s time. Shorter inseams are in — and they’re not just for Instagram guys. A 5-inch inseam (or even 4 if you’re bold) flatters most legs, creates a cleaner silhouette, and actually keeps you cooler.

Short shorts give structure and intention to your fit. They let your shirt hang better, they show off that tan (or those quads), and they work with everything from tanks to button-downs. Pro tip: balance out the shortness with a looser or slightly oversized top. And yes, you can absolutely wear them outside the gym. Confidence looks good on you.

Linen Trousers

Linen trousers are the definition of relaxed sophistication. Comfortable, breathable, and effortlessly cool, they’re your ticket out of sweat-soaked denim and into easy elegance. Whether you’re sipping rosé on a patio or just making your weekly Target run, linen makes it better.

What I love about them is their versatility — you can wear them with a tank and sandals or dress them up with a tucked-in polo and loafers. They wrinkle? Sure. That’s part of the charm. It says you’re relaxed. You’re unbothered. Maybe you just got off a flight or finished your third Aperol spritz of the afternoon. Grab them in neutrals and wear them on repeat.

Patterned Swimwear

Patterned swimwear is how you inject personality into your summer wardrobe. Florals, Mediterranean tiles, bold stripes — whatever makes you smile. Swimwear is no longer just a practicality. It’s a statement piece. And in the heat of summer, it’s often the *only* piece.

I like to style swim trunks like they’re real clothes: a knit tank, an open shirt, leather sandals, sunglasses. You’re ready for a rooftop pool or a walk along the beach boardwalk. Confidence is key here. Whether you’re in briefs or mid-thigh trunks, rock a pattern that makes you feel like you’re already on vacation — even if you’re just at your friend’s pool party.

Leather Sandals

Upgrade from flip-flops. Leather sandals offer comfort and elegance without the fuss. They work with shorts, trousers, or even a relaxed summer suit. The best pairs are minimal, strappy, and molded to your foot — looking effortlessly cool without screaming for attention.

You want that European tourist look, but elevated — the kind that walks through cobblestone alleys and then right into a candlelit dinner. And when styled right? They’ll be your most reached-for footwear this season.

Retro Inspired Sneakers

Low-top, gum sole, suede detail. Retro sneakers are summer’s answer to everything. They add instant cool to any outfit — and bonus points, they’re wildly comfortable. These are the shoes that take you from the airport to brunch to an impromptu bar crawl without skipping a beat.

They pair well with just about everything: shorts, jeans, linen pants, or even tailored looks when you want to tone things down. Pick a colorway that complements your wardrobe and you’ll be amazed how many compliments roll in.

Raffia and Canvas Totes

Guys carry bags. Let’s normalize it — beautifully. Raffia and canvas totes are functional, lightweight, and totally summer-coded. Whether you’re heading to the beach, the grocery store, or just carrying extra layers and a water bottle, a stylish tote makes it effortless.

Raffia feels coastal and vacation-ready, while canvas gives off utility-chic vibes. Pick one that works with your wardrobe color palette and consider it your warm-weather carryall. And yes — it looks great over your shoulder in every vacation photo.

Fresh Fragrances

The invisible accessory that makes you unforgettable? Your summer fragrance. Swap out the woodsy and spicy for light citrus, oceanic notes, or fresh herbs. The best scents for summer feel clean, airy, and like a cool breeze in a bottle.

People remember how you made them feel — and that includes how you smelled. Find a scent that feels like you… just on holiday. Spray once on the wrist, once on the neck, and maybe a mist through the shirt. Done.

Classic Style Sunglasses

The finishing touch to every look? A great pair of classic sunglasses. Keep it timeless — aviators, wayfarers, or rounded acetate frames in black or tortoise. They work with everything and never go out of style.

Look for good lenses and quality frames — these aren’t just for the 'Gram. They protect your eyes, polish your outfit, and add that mysterious, “I have great taste” energy. And no, you don’t need ten pairs — one great one is enough.

Final Thoughts

You don’t need to overhaul your closet to look and feel your best this summer — but slipping into a knit tank, swapping out your scent, or throwing on a bold camp collar shirt can instantly shift your energy. These eleven trends are practical, stylish, and here to help you show up with confidence — whether you're beach-bound, city-lounging, or just soaking in the sun.
