Show Off Your Warm Weather Style with Summer Suspenders

Suspenders aren’t reserved solely for the colder months - they are fashionable all year round, though it can be difficult to style them with warm weather outfits. Classic suspenders look cool even during the hottest months of the year, and there are a number of ways to wear them with your summer apparel. From shorts and button-downs to summertime leisure suits, here are a few of our favorite ways to style suspenders in warm weather.

1. Take them to the office.

If business casual is the name of the game in your office, suspenders are a great way to jazz up your summer office wardrobe. Keep things cool with a pair of khakis and a white button-down shirt topped with some patterned suspenders. If you have to wear a suit, keep your lightweight suit looking sharp with some brightly colored suspenders peeking out from underneath.

2. Take them out to dinner.

Going out to dinner on a summer getaway? You’ll look dressed to impress in a preppy outfit that’s perfect for a candlelight meal al fresco. Slip on a pair of well-tailored shorts in a nice salmon, khaki, or mint green hue, and then top it off with a crisp linen shirt in a contrasting light color. Choose a pair of suspenders that match the rest of your ensemble, and then slide on your favorite leather boat shoes to complete the beachy look.

3. Rock a rugged style.

The classic Americana look is back in a big way for both men and women, and it’s especially easy to pull off in the summer. The next time you go to an outdoor music festival, a backyard barbecue, or a night at your favorite downtown hangout, try topping off your best jeans with a pair of black or brown leather suspenders. A crisp, cotton shirt in a neutral color creates a stylish look. Keep the sleeves rolled up for that effortlessly cool vibe that’s perfect for the summertime.   Save
