Men's Summer Clothes Perfect for the Beach
Take a look at these fashionable fits
Making the most of the summer heat really starts with appropriate clothing. Especially after the recent heatwave, you’ll all know the pain of being caught in the sun with thick jeans on. From airy beach tops to an eco-friendly water bottle, we’ve covered some great items that all support local Yorkshire businesses – that’s guilt-free summer loving if I’ve ever seen it.
The Water Shoes
These water shoes add optimal grip for all your water sport needs – or if you just fancy a swim in more treacherous waters.

The Watch
At the beach you’re after something light, durable, and splash proof – this Tissot watch has you covered for all three.

The Socks
If you are going for trainers rather than sandals, make sure you get some comfy trainer socks to go with them. Regular socks in your beach-side shorts can sometimes look a bit odd to say the least.

Not a sandal kinda guy? These trainers are ultra-premium, cut from fine Italian leather, and made to order in Sheffield. What’s not to love?

These Birkenstock sandals are a simple and stylish cross between your traditional buckled sandal and a slider.
