Most of the men reading here will be planning or in the final throws of paying off their sunshine break for the summer. You might be off on a messy weekend with the lads, a week away in the sun with the missus or simply a mixture of the above but two weeks of nothing but warm sun, foreign beer and food and no one to nag you. Going away isn’t a cheap thing anymore with months of saving and searching through holiday brochures needed before anything can be booked and a countdown commenced, so why if you’re spending so much money on a superb sunshine break would you want to go looking like anything less than great?
With the weather in the UK hotting up now year by year the top designer brands available at online retailer Mainline Menswear have began to launch more and more beachwear, with spring summer 2011 seeing more swimming shorts, flip flops, sunglasses, hats, towels and beach bags than ever before. With this in mind there is everything here for the beach holiday with a full designer wardrobe (excluding the suitcase) available to keep you looking good while in Spain, Portugal, the Caribbean and many of the other hot weather destinations.
The Armani summer collection is a really strong one with everything you might need available. The superb Armani sunglasses, t shirts, shirts, Armani towels, shorts, shirts, underwear and Armani flip flops are all selling really well with the warm UK and summer holidays in mind. The recent addition of the EA7 range is also working wonders as various celebrities are snapped wearing the distinctive range. Any designer mens clothing fan may already have a few bits and pieces available in his wardrobe so may just have to browse a few key sections to find a couple of gems to add to his already bulging holiday bag. Cotton pique polos from Lacoste, Fred Perry, Lyle and Scott and Hugo Boss Green are always a good choice due to their lightweight ‘mesh’ design and can easily be worn during the day or casually at night around the bars and restaurants of your chosen location.
If you need some new flip flops then there is again an excellent range with well over 100 different styles, colours and brands available in a large price range. Brazilian greats Havaianas, French favourites Lacoste and Italian fashion brand Diesel all have a great choice this season with thong style, single strap and sandal designs all available in a variety of rubber and leather uppers. From the toes to your head you always need a good pair of sunglasses, with vintage brand Carrera, American great Oakley sunglasses and a host of top Italian brands that ooze class and style.
With all of this great ‘big brand’ clothing available you might want to experience a new brand. If you like your classic polo shirt and chunky knitwear but like a little bit of a twist or quirk in your clothing then Luke 1977 clothing is for you. A British brand originally from Birmingham Luke 1977 is an up and coming young fashion brand that carries with it some excellent designs and cuts with a signature embroidered lion logo. Shorts, canvas plimsolls, shirts, t shirts and polo shirts are available for this summer and come out of an award winning 2010 for the brand, so why not sport something new this summer?
All of these brands and more are available at Mainline Menswear, one of the leading independent retailers in the UK, and with worldwide shipping available you won’t need anywhere else to kit yourself out fashionably for the summer in 2011.
