Summer Fashion No No's

Who says Fashion don’ts not only apply to women? Some men have been seen to possess some pretty bad fashion sense. Summer fashion trends have exploded in cities all over the world and some highly noticeable fashion no no’s have begun to surface.

Who wears short shorts? Women wear short shorts, NOT men. The short tennis shorts are not quite the most appealing look for men. Showing more thigh than necessary could completely ruin the outfit. Let’s not forget the darling tank top. Every girl loves a guy in a tank top showing off his toned arms. After a long winter of working out, men want to show off their biceps by wearing tank tops. However, the farmers tan when wearing a tank top does not quite look so appealing to the eye. During the Summer months the temperatures are high and showing more is comfortable but wearing socks with sandals is covering up and most of all it isn’t a very popular fashion trend. With the warm weather, colorful clothing is very trendy for the Summer but Hawaiian shirts are not. Keep the flowered shirts for islands, Mahalo.

Trend Watch: Short Shorts

Of course the warmer it gets, the shorter your shorts get; however, some report shorts are becoming even shorter this season. Hot Shorts are beginning to gain some steam after being seen on several Spring/Summer collections' runways including Chanel and Missoni. The Chanel striped hot short retails at $910. For those of us mere-mortals, there are other options at more mere-mortal prices.

In addition, try a funky floral print or art-deco print to spice it up.

Add some tortoise glassess and you're ready to conquer this trend. ASOS.com has a great offering of shorts at great price points.
