People sometimes assume that it is impossible to combine style and comfort, but that is not the case. If you select your outfit with care you can look and feel great, even in hot weather.
That applies to both sexes too. Men are paying more attention to fashion these days and they are just as keen to blend stylishness and comfort in their attire.
Below is some guidance for achieving both goals in a single outfit.
The Genius of a T-Shirt and Shorts
In terms of simplicity and stylishness it is hard to beat the combination of a shirt and shorts. The top can be either a standard shirt or t-shirt, as either will work with a pair of shorts if matched well.
The exposed arms and legs will help to keep you feeling comfortable and cool. They can be worn slightly oversized too, if you want more room to breathe in them. Let’s take a look at some of the combinations out there.
What can be easily paired with the simple outfit
The beauty behind a simple outfit is that you can accessorize it with a vast variety of things. A simple shorts and t-shirt set can be paired with your favorite jewelry from a chain necklace to your favorite watch. For cooler evenings it would be best to pair this simple outfit with a stylish comfortable jacket much like a classic two-toned varsity jacket which is perfect to finish off your relaxed stylish look.
Graphic Print Short Sets
These are a very popular choice now and they make for a bold visual statement. A classic graphic print shorts set can come in a range of different styles.
Take the Mood Short Set-Blue for example. This is a sporty look in yellow and blue that matches a vest top and shorts.
The use of a number is designed to make it look like an NBA kit. It usually has the brand name on it too, which adds a further twist.
An outfit like this can be worn for exercising but will also work fine if you are just out and about on the streets. Accessorize it with sneakers (never shoes or boots), light colored socks and a tote bag.
That is not the only option when it comes to graphic print sets though. If your taste is more rock and roll than sports, a Murdra Black or Krog Orange T-Shirt/Short Set will be a better choice.
Both of these matches up t-shirts with bold graphic print artwork on them and knee-length shorts. The Murdra set is colored black, while the Krog is orange though, so it depends on whether you prefer bright or dark tones.
In terms of accessories, sneakers will work just fine with either of them. Due to the darker coloring, boots will also look great with the Murdra set though.
Add a pair of shades and a necklace or ring, to nod towards hip hop style. The great thing about sets like these is that they can be worn oversized, for a relaxed fit.
Muted T-Shirt and Shorts
It’s no problem if graphic prints are not your taste, because there are alternatives. The t-shirt and shorts combination are proving especially popular with women in 2024, so they are leading the way.
Some people are more comfortable in muted shades like a light brown top combined with beige shorts. This works for either sex; it is not a knockout look, but it oozes late summer/fall sophistication.
It will be wise to accessorize though, to add texturing. A man can do so by wearing a watch and shades. Go with an analogue watch and vintage sunglasses, for a classic look.
For women, a bag will be an excellent accessory. Try a straw one, for a similar but slightly different color.
Pastel and Patterns
You can always shake things up by wearing a t-shirt in a muted pastel shade like pink along with patterned shorts. This will have more appeal to women, but it makes for nice blend of block color and prints.
The idea is the visual contrast created by this t-shirt and shorts choice. Accessorize with a brooch to give the t-shirt a focal point.
A t-shirt and shorts make for a timeless look that never really goes out of style and that is comfortable to wear.
