If you (and your family \u2014 you only get 18 summers with your kids, after all!) want to make the most of the season&#8217;s unique possibilities for fun and memory-making, below we offer a list of the many summer-related resources we&#8217;ve published over the years. Hopefully they&#8217;ll inspire you to throw a backyard party, swing in a hammock, take a hike, read a book on the beach, and generally enjoy the heck out of the sun-filled, laid-back days ahead.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Wear<\/h2>\n<p>When the weather warms up, a new set of clothes in your wardrobe gets put into rotation.

The articles below will acquaint you with alternatives that look sharper, yet still keep you cool, and even offer some tips on how wear that t-shirt better when you do opt for it.<\/p>\n<p>Read these style guides to specific sartorial pieces:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/style\/outfit-guide\/summer-smart-casual-for-men\/\">Summer Smart Casual: 3 Getup Ideas for the Office, Date Night, and Weddings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/style\/clothing\/guayabera\/\">The Guayabera<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/style\/the-camp-collar-shirt\/\">The Classic Camp Collar Shirt<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/featured\/how-to-wear-a-polo-shirt\/\">The Polo Shirt<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/style\/the-best-damn-guide-to-mens-t-shirts-on-the-internet\/\">The T-Shirt<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/featured\/style-staples-a-mans-guide-to-khakis\/\">Khakis<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/featured\/how-to-wear-a-seersucker-suit\/\">The Seersucker Suit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/featured\/a-mans-guide-to-boat-shoes\/\">Boat Shoes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/style\/mohinder-city-slipper-review\/\">Mohinders<\/a> (My #1 recommendation for summer shoes!)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/style\/huckberry-weekender-sunglasses\/\">My Go-to Sunglasses for Summer<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And check out these overview articles as well:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Man&#8217;s Guide to Summer Dress: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/style\/outfit-guide\/mans-guide-to-summer-dress-part-1\/\">Part I<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/style\/outfit-guide\/guide-to-summer-dressing-2\/\">Part II<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/style\/outfit-guide\/easy-ways-to-upgrade-your-casual-summer-style-video\/\">Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Casual Summer Style<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/style\/outfit-guide\/summer-style-how-to-dress-for-an-outdoor-social-event\/\">Summer Style: How to Dress for an Outdoor Social Event<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What to Do<\/h2>\n<p>Warm weather, school vacation, and holidays like the Fourth open up new possibilities for recreation, relaxation, travel, and general mischief.
