Calvin Klein offers the largest range of men’s underwear by some way, with an extensive collection of both basic designs (plain white, black, grey) and fashion (vivid colours and prints). They also offer the full set of styles; briefs, trunks, boxer briefs and boxer shorts. Calvin Klein is a true innovator when it comes to men’s underwear and is always bringing out new styles. Following Calvin is D&G and Emporio Armani, who both have a strong basics range and a smaller fashion range. Emporio Armani has a particularly strong branded waistband, their eagle logo extremely bold and identifiable. Diesel is a younger and more ‘street’ brand and hence has an exciting range of vibrant briefs and trunks, but few basics. Ted Baker is similar to Diesel in that it focuses more on the fun and colourful.
Try to wear matching colours, colours that also match the season, in cuts that suit the occasion, and materials that will keep you at the optimum temperature. Get a cardigan you can wrap around yourself, on top of your cotton dress, in case you are still at a party when night falls. This way when you get cold, you already have a change of clothes on you. Everyone is into layering. Shrugs, cardigans and wraps keep you warm in case the barmy british summer turns against you. These are key to outfit building and making your summer dress more versatile so you can wear it to different occasions and really get value for money out of it
Keep in mind that dark colours are for the winter months, because they absorb all the sunlight, so choose a bright and colourful outfit, or a colourful cardigan to go with a black or dark coloured cotton dress.
If you travel, consider choosing a crinkle finish Cotton Dress so that you won’t need to panic if you need something to wear when you have only just arrived and opened your suitcase. They are amazingly adaptable and offer a quick change of clothes.
Cotton is great for a hot day, so as soon as the weather forecasts get optimistic for warm weather, get your cotton dresses ready and choose a cut level that suits where you are going to be. If you are going to anything that permits a casual look, think cotton for a good fit that doesn’t remind you that you are wearing it and allows you to enjoy the day without worrying about your clothes.
