A style guide to looking handsome in the heat all summer long.
Warm weather is back, meaning your sun-drenched days will likely be packed with outdoor activities such as rooftop parties, dinner soirees and impromptu beach getaways. To beat the heat, you need a summer wardrobe refresh that’ll keep you feeling confident and cool. Enter John Varvatos, the eponymous American alternative luxury menswear label widely praised for its rebel spirit style. The recently debuted Pre-Fall ‘24 collection presents a seasonal mix of bold yet relaxed essentials sure to make a statement.
A rock’ n’ roll sensibility is intrinsic to John Varvatos, as is impeccable craftsmanship. From storied leathers and transient tailoring to striking silhouettes, each piece expresses an esoteric elegance with fabrics and forms that evoke a vintage feel.
Within the Pre-Fall ‘24 collection, a desert-hued lens blends with nomadic undertones. Inspiration derives from simplified surroundings such as earthed stone and sun-baked clays as well as vibrant blues reminiscent of an arid sky. This palette, paired with breathable materials, showcases how successful John Varvatos is in evoking the spirit of summertime.
Below are our favorite summer-style staples from the John Varvatos Pre-Fall ‘24 collection.
The Artisanal Suit
Edenward Jacket & Mercer Pant
Lighter colors are favored for summer suiting, but should you seek a head-turning number, the Edenward Jacket and Mercer Pant deliver a whole lot of character for outings lasting noon until night. This matching suit flaunts a jacquard pattern crafted with cutting-edge digital photographic techniques. The blazer’s refined silhouette, which can be worn open or loose, melds seamlessly with the pant’s sleek, slim-fit tailoring.
Off-White Denim
J701-Nate Twill Jeans
Jeans are a year-round requisite for any capsule wardrobe. A pleasing shade of ecru evokes the look of wearing white while softening its effect on the eyes. The Nate Twill Jeans, featured in a pale cream hue and crafted from a soft cotton blend, deliver the utmost comfort for warm-weather wear.
A Suede Statement
Rockaway Jacket
Fashion risk-takers dare to wear leather no matter the season and turn to John Varvatos for fearless summer-appropriate attire. Rendered in a bold blue reminiscent of the crashing waves of New York City’s Rockaway Beach, the Rockaway Jacket is the perfect going-out ensemble during the hot months, thanks to its sumptuous lightweight suede sourced from Spain.
Versatile Button-Ups
Rosedale Spread Collar Shirt, Estill Shirt in Black
From a city rooftop to a beach day and everywhere in between, the versatility of a button-up shirt is second to none. Color choice is key. For daytime leisure, consider the Rosedale Spread Collar Shirt in a salmon hue, and to class things up, opt for a tie. To channel your inner dark horse, the Estill Shirt in black will pair well with your Nate Twill Jeans, also from the Pre-Fall ‘24 collection.
