Summer styles to help men beat the heat

This summer replace stereotype of dressing with comfortable yet stylish clothes to beat the heat.

Here are some suggestions by men's fashion brand John Players:

* Upgrade simplicity with a twist: At times it is indeed too hot to dress up, and the only option is a vest or a tee to rein in the summer. But who says a vest or a tee has to be ordinary? Pair a light orange slogan tee with a check shorts. Complete the look by wearing a slipper.

* Go sockless: It is inevitable for any guy to leave his socks behind, but going sockless is in vogue this season. Team up your blue tee with a cargo shorts. Wear a brown boat-shoe or a red canvas shoe and rock the style statement in the town.

* Fit is the king: With the mercury rising each day, styling yourself sensibly might sound a little counter intuitive, but masculine fit and proper tailoring will work in your favour this summer. Yes, fit is the king. Wear a washed out skinny fit blue denim and pair it up with a white polo t-shirt to make a chic summer statement.

* Be bold: Summer is the perfect time to be braver with the choice of attire. The past two summer seasons have seen experimentation with bold colours and prints. Keep the trend going.
