Summer is a great season for getting after bold colors and patterns.
You want to wear as little as possible to beat the heat, after all, so why not pack as much visual flare into that single camp collar shirt as possible? The problem is though, sometimes you need a more polished look. And in that department, a loud camp collar isn’t going to do you any favors. But with the face melting heat outside, you still don’t want to wear any extraneous clothing.
So how do you stay cool and looked polished all at once? Easy: Go monochrome. Simply mix up shades or textures of the same color for a sharp, cinch-to-pull-off summer look that will keep you stylish in a wide range of settings.
Here’s an outfit to help you do it:

Polo Ralph Lauren Crewneck Tee
When it comes to a monochromatic look for summer, or any season really, you can’t beat navy. Even something as simple as a navy tee can look surprisingly polished.

Acne Studios Ryder Drawstring Trousers
Whether you wear them with your monochromatic look or not, a crisp pair of navy trousers are a must-have wardrobe staple.

J.M. Weston Leather Sneakers
And of course, the best way to cap off your all-navy look is with a pair of sleek, minimal navy sneakers.
