When the weather gets hot, you don’t want to leave the men cold. Here are some summer fashions that were once bright and new but have seen too many winters.
1) Capri Pants Have Jumped the Shark
Just a couple of years ago, capri pants were all the rage. Like hot pants in the seventies, they even jumped the gender divide to become menswear as well, to the point where everyone and their dad looked like they were about to go to the beach and dig for clams.
But all good things must come to an end, and this summer is about shorts, not about pants that masquerade as shorts. Bermuda shorts are great (or occasionally, Daisy Dukes, for those of us who have the legs to pull it off). But capri pants are strictly stay-at-home-do-laundry attire.
2) Crocs Just Aren’t Biting
These shoes were never very fetching, but a couple of years ago saw the grand emergence of these pockmarked cobbler-elf shoes, as they became not just a fashion for bog hikers, but also for those with busy days at the farmers market or running around the antique fair.
This summer, however, there is just no room for wearing a Wiffle™ ball that’s molded to your foot—instead, go for the gladiator sandals that are sweeping up the international fashion scene literally on street level! Even at the beach, there’s still a better, classic design that refuses to die: it’s called the flip-flop.
3) All That Glitters Is … Old
Not so long ago, summer-lovin’ ladies as well as some of the fellas were sporting fake gold-colored everything. Sunglasses, buckles, bikini clasps, sandal latches, Lycra tops, even cars: everything looked like creamy-colored fake gold, glittering like chrome gods in the sun.
