Top 5 Menswear Essentials for Summer 

Breathable, Stylish, and Versatile 

When the weather heats up, heavy fabrics, stuffy layers, and overcomplicated outfits just don’t cut it. Your summer wardrobe should feel effortless: easy to wear, easy to style, and comfortable all day. At Gurteen Menswear, we focus on smart, breathable, and well-made staples that keep you looking sharp without breaking a sweat.  If you're searching through online mens designer clothes, start here. These five essentials are versatile, reliable, and designed to perform in the heat. 

1. Linen Shirts You’ll Wear on Repeat  

Linen isn’t just a seasonal trend, it’s a functional, breathable fabric that handles heat better than anything else. But when done right, it doesn’t just keep you cool, it sharpens your whole outfit. 

Our beige linen shirt is a go-to for everyday wear. It works just as well buttoned up with chino trousers as it does worn loose over a t-shirt. For evenings or smarter settings, the navy linen mens shirt brings more depth and contrast, and looks especially sharp with mens navy shorts or light cotton trousers

Why they’re essential:

2. Chino Shorts That Aren’t Just Casual  

Some shorts look like an afterthought. Ours are built with structure and style in mind. Our mens chino shorts are cut to sit neatly above the knee, with a tailored fit that’s comfortable but never baggy.  The materials make a difference, our mens cotton shorts are crafted from soft, breathable fabric with subtle stretch for movement. They’re finished cleanly, so you can wear them with shirts, polos, or knits without looking underdressed.  

Best worn:

  • With an open-collar shirt for lunch out  
  • With a lightweight jumper on cooler days  
  • With loafers or trainers, your choice 

These are the kind of shorts you’ll pack every summer and wear everywhere.

3. Lightweight Trousers That Still Look Smart  

You don’t need to ditch trousers when temperatures rise, you just need the right pair. Our mens chino trousers are cut from lighter cotton blends that keep air flowing and legs cool. The fit is clean, the details subtle, and the feel comfortable from morning to evening.  For smarter events or office wear, you can also buy formal trousers online from our collection. These options give you a more structured finish, without adding weight or bulk.  

Great for:

  • Summer weddings or dressy evenings  
  • Everyday office wear that doesn’t feel stuffy  
  • Casual Fridays with a linen shirt and loafers  

You get style without the sweat.

4. Jackets That Work with the Weather  

A lightweight summer jacket is your best friend once the sun dips or clouds roll in. You need something that adds structure without insulation, and that's exactly what our collection delivers.  Our unstructured mens blazer jackets are ideal for travel, events, or dressing up a casual outfit. They fold easily, layer cleanly, and won’t leave you overheating.  

Features to look for:

  • Breathable linings and soft shoulders  
  • Neutral colours that pair with everything  
  • Compact enough to pack without creasing  

Our quality men's jackets are built to outlast trends and weather swings. 

Final Word: Build a Wardrobe That Works All Season  

Summer style doesn’t need to be loud or fussy. What matters is fit, fabric, and function. Choose pieces that breathe, feel good to wear, and mix easily across your wardrobe.  At Gurteen Menswear, our approach is simple: premium mens clothing made to last, well-constructed, well-fitted, and easy to wear every day.
