As far as dress codes go, summer is a tricky time.
Men, especially, have a tendency to go too far toward the relaxed end of the spectrum, getting themselves into trouble by dressing inappropriately.
We've created a list of seven items that are best avoided, as well as exactly what they should be replaced with in the warmer weather.
These seven simple upgrades will take your summer wardrobe to the next level.
DON'T: Wear a Hawaiian shirt to work.
Hawaiian-style aloha shirts in subtle patterns and colors are trending these days, taking over the sidewalks and bars with their pronounced style. One place they're not taking over: the office.
DO: Wear a solid button-up in short sleeves.
But just because the patterns of Hawaiian shirts are too much for the office doesn't mean short-sleeved shirts themselves are. These days, offices are casual enough in the summer to allow for short-sleeved shirts, without running afoul of established dress norms.
Make short-sleeved shirts a staple of your work and weekend wardrobe this summer. Just make sure you follow our guide to looking good in a short-sleeved shirt.
DON'T: Wear sandals.
Sandals — either with (shudder) or without socks —are completely unacceptable for men. Your toes and feet should be covered at all times while indoors, even in the summer.
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: wearing open-toed shoes is disgusting unless you're on the beach or going to the beach.
