Men’s summer staple T-shirts in hot-to-have styles will sizzle in town, country or at the beach and there are many trends to choose from. From standard issue camo prints and tie-dye, to hot tropical palm and floral prints, tattered and torn tees and rock & roll band tees, the high street is flooded with some serious styles you can slide into your wardrobe with ease, and at purse friendly prices.

DRUMROLL

The rock & roll band tee is a major player for the summer. Whether you’re chilling out with headphones on, or partying to the coolest tunes at a festival, parading your favourite band or musician across your chest is the style du jour.

The rock & roll style shows no sign of slowing down so get involved with the classics or keep it retro with rock inspired tees in graphic prints. You’ll find plenty of classic styles inspired by old-school gig-wear in the shops, and non-band specific so you can look super cool without pledging allegiance to any one band.

HOT TROPICS

T-shirts turn tropical and palm prints and florals come into full bloom this summer. Raise your style game with some botanical coolness across tees and vests with oversized palm leafs, modern and oriental florals and Hawaiian prints. This trend is all about pops of colour and a touch of street. Pair with mirror shades and distressed denim for added attitude.

TIE DYE

The freedom of summer brings a new Zen like mindfulness so why not channel Woodstock with some tie-dye? From rainbow splashes to muted dip dye and modern splashes, a tie dye tee offers a laid back take on bold blasts of colour. This trend is ideal for festival frolics or city-friendly weekend breaks, where you want to stand out and blend in at the same time.

TATTERED & TORN

Call this look what you will, ripped, shredded, distressed, tattered, look uber cool in a semi slashed t-shirt or tread cautiously in a tee with just a little bit of destruction. Take this trend straight off the catwalk and into your closet for ultimate street cred.

STANDARD ISSUE

If tropical prints aren’t your vibe, then consider a camo print tee as a pleasingly masculine alternative. Integrating some military machismo into your wardrobe and going all-out squaddie in an all-over camo print might seem like overkill, but plenty of brands are now producing contemporary digital camo designs that will work well with denim and neutral toned shorts.
