Shorts and “T-Shirt”

HAHAHA! LOL!

Teach your brother how to tie his own bowtie. Buy your boyfriend a blue oxford button front shirt. But most importantly, improve the wardrobe of a guy that is close to your heart. I’m going to show you how to do just that.

Look 1 : The Classic

Polo – L.L. Bean, Shorts – L.L. Bean, Belt – Vineyard Vines, Shoes – Sperry

So pass this along: pick up some navy.

Look 2: The Edgy

Shirt – Brooks Brothers, Shorts – J.Crew, Bow Tie – Tie Bar, Belt – L.L. Bean, Shoes – Zappos

My biggest tip here is not to fear the prep. Though I realize it can be hard to picture your average male college friend wearing a bow tie and shorts for no particular reason, when the bow tie is tied properly and paired with an oxford with the sleeves rolled up, you will never look at bow ties, and shorts for that matter, the same way again.

Look 3: The Bold

Shirt – Polo Ralph Lauren, Shorts – L.L. Bean, T-Shirt – Old Navy, Belt – L.L. Bean, Shoes – Gap

It’s true: embroidered shorts are certainly a bold statement. However, when paired with simple a shirt, belt, and shoes, the shorts make the wearer look sophisticated. So, tell your guy friends to take calculated risks.
