It may not be the long weekend but the sun is hot and everyone’s smiling. See ya this weekend!

- The Gotstyle Crew

You can’t mistake the West Coast coolness that inspires the Riviera Club designers. Every guy wants to look clean and refined, while feeling comfortable, especially in the Summer. There’s no reason to look frumpy or messy when you have fitted cotton t-shirts, light linen shorts, and collared cotton shirts. Step up your Summer style and get in on the casual luxury look.

I can’t help but love any brand that describes their clothes as “quality handcrafted goods for the light-hearted.”

Hotel Fiore shirt $60, black moon shirt $60.

Swedish brothers Anton, Daniel, and Sebastian grew up in a rural Swedish town, their childhood time spent outdoors had a deep impact on their Sandqvist designs.

If you’re in the market for a briefcase or laptop bag, you’ll love the simple designs and durable materials of Sandqvist bags. The natural leather brings a younger and updated look to your weekday wardrobe. Plus, there’s just something about a man with a briefcase.

Beige leather laptop bag $375, beige leather briefcase $450.

Having just realized that I am a great “best ball” golf player (my shots are short but straight and I’m an unreal putter!), I’ve been signing up for golf tournaments like crazy. When I heard about The Fourth Period magazine’s charity golf classic, I decided to become a sponsor for the event – a day of golfing with hockey guys seems like a fun way to spend the afternoon!

Sign up for a foursome to play along side us (we’ll be doing amazing gift bags and prizes), and will also be sponsoring the afterparty. They also have sponsorship packages starting at $1,500 it’s a great way to hit a demographic of all guys (well, after ours!).

Golfers, sign up here!

Check out Michael in our new Psycho Bunny v-neck sweater, looking great!

For all the Gotstyle men who golf, there’s Sligo, a trendy golf wear brand that blends North American and European fashion together. Golf wear is all about the balance between style and performance; with bright colours being hot this Summer, Sligo is right on point. Their shirts use lightweight fabric making it breathable and easy to move in.

  
Solid green golf shirt $70. Windbreaker $110. Patterned blue golf shirt $85. 

No man can have too many Summer shirts, just like sweaters in the Winter. We’ve rounded up our favourite Summer shirts, from t-shirts to long-sleeved shirts.

Having a couple versatile shirts will carry you through the Summer. Look for shirts that can be worn both casually and more polished – collared shirts are perfect for this. You’ll be able to hang out on a patio, and run right to a meeting or go out for dinner and drinks without doing a wardrobe change.

  
Benson floral shirt $140 with Farah blue shorts $98, Farah blue colour blocked t-shirt $100 with yellow shorts $98, Farah white colour blocked t-shirt $100.

 
Left: Riviera Club shirt $155, worn with Life/After/Denim chino shorts $90.
Right: John Varvatos cotton shirt $, Dr. Denim shorts $95.

 
Rogue woven floral t-shirt $150, and woven henley $165 both worn with Life/After/Denim chino pants $135.

Simple summer basics that everyone should have multiples of: polos and waffle shirts. This season, John Varvatos brings vintage details (dye, piped collar, fitted sleeves) to the classic polo to give it that preppy, East Coast vibe that’s hot right now.

You can never have too many Summer staples, simple pieces that blend with your wardrobe and wear well. That’s why we love John Varvatos, his mix of classic pieces with updated details makes for an easy wardrobe.

 
Waffle henley $175, red cotton shirt $120. 

Cargo shorts $150.

Leave the flimsy $5 flip flops for gym showers and pools and get a decent leather pair with a solid sole, like these sandals from John Varvatos. Not only will they look a million times better, they’ll offer your feet more support and last longer.

 
Chelsea sandal in brown or grey leather $150.

Hailing from Australia, Le Specs has been the dominating sunglass brand of choice for the people down under. Twenty years later, Le Specs relaunched in 2006 with the same approach to style – updating classic shapes with modern details.
