This summer, tailoring is going to combine with streetwear and urban style, men are definitely more casual, sporty and with more colours and patterns. The hues of this summer? Sugar paper, blue in all its shades, white and neutral tones synonyms of refinement and sobriety, but also eye-popping and vivid prints.

Here are 6 inspiring style hits for this summer:

1. ESSENTIAL WHITE: white linen or cotton shirt, a classic of the male wardrobe, and a must-have for summer 2014. The white, in all its different hues, becomes the predominant colour of the summer, in fresh and almost impalpable fabrics, as linen mixed with silk and cotton.

2. PRINTS & PATTERNS: Even the gentleman can dare this summer with patterns, from floral, to camouflage, micro-patterns, retro and geometric prints or polka dots. The patterned shirt, as an expression of personality, has to be showed off in brilliant colours. A fashion tip for a sober and elegant look is to pair the printed item with neutral and classic wardrobe staples, to avoid a patterned mess but also to allow the statement piece to take centre stage.
