How to make it through the hot summer months as a man

The Dutch man is used to dressing for cold weather: jackets, sweaters and everything practical and warm feels natural. Partly because of this, we sometimes forget how it should be in the summer. What should we wear when the sun is shining? How do we make sure we don’t turn into a tomato when we set foot outside the door? And how do you prevent sweaty feet? These tips will help you during the hot days of summer.

Wear the right fabrics

It sounds simple, but one of the biggest mistakes people make during the summer months is wearing fabrics that are primarily worn in the winter. In cold weather, you can wear as much wool and cashmere as you want. However, you would rather not show up at the office sweating in the summer. Invest in clothing made from breathable fabrics such as linen and cotton. You won’t regret it. A mens terry cloth shirt is also a good tip. Not only is this a very nice fabric for summer, but it also looks nice. Are you curious how this looks? Then it is recommendable to watch the internet for more information.

These are the must-have shoes for summer

If you want to wear sandals this summer that’s totally fine. However, during a typical Dutch summer you will need at least three pairs of shoes. The first pair of shoes that should not be missing are white, leather sneakers. These ensure high comfort and endless combination fun. In addition, the loafer or moccasins are perfect for a slightly informal outfit. Also espadrilles men are very handy when you want to get some quick shoes on.

Visit the hairdresser

When you have a lot of long, thick hair, summer is a nightmare – it’s very hard to keep your cool when you’re sitting on the terrace. Go to the hairdresser to have your winter coat thinned and ask for thin back and sides. you’ll be amazed how much this affects how hot you are and therefore it’s good to read more about this subject.

Buy at least two good pairs of sunglasses

The chances are very plausible that you will break one of them at a festival or forget it on the terrace. Make sure you always have an extra pair of sunglasses at home. Especially when you are on vacation and there is a lot of sand present. An investment you will not regret.
