1) Get in shape 2) Shorts above the knees 3) Tank tops only at the beach/pool/gym 4) Sunglasses? Go with aviators or wayfarers
5) Loafer socks/loafer liners for your sockless looks 6) Linen blended garments > pure linen if you can’t stand wrinkles 7) Breton striped tees – get one of these 8) Knit polos > cheap pique polos
9) Get a pair of light wash denim jeans 10) Tropical print shirts and Cuban collar shirts are wonderful statement pieces 11) Pastels look best on lower contrast men (lighter hair + light skin)
12) Gemstone colors (jade, sapphire, ruby etc.) look great on men with swarthier complexions 13) You’ve never heard of cargo shorts 14) Swim trunks >> board shorts (unless doing board sports) 15) No flips (unless at the beach or pool)
16) Foot powder and a pumice stone for your feet 17) Panama hats = best warm weather option for most men 18) Tropical weight wool for your formal looks 19) Tailored t-shirt looks (tees paired with nicer trousers) are money
20) Loafers paired with basically anything 21) Desert boots for your warm weather rugged looks 22) Denim shorts only if you know what you’re doing 23) Open collar polos >> button placket polos for your dressier fits
24) Best jackets for the spring: Harrington jackets, lightweight bombers, denim truckers, and field jackets 25) No ties with your short sleeve button up shirts 26) You should have a pair of lighter grey trousers
27) Lighter brown/tan suede Chelseas boots can still be worn in the summer 28) Sunglasses should come off indoors 29) Penny loafers are the easiest to wear among all loafers
30 Bit loafers if you want to be flashy
31) Top two buttons undone on your shirts…potentially a third if you’re near a beach or body of water 32) If you’re wearing a long sleeve shirt or sweater with shorts, roll the sleeves a bit
33) Swim trunks with side adjusters (e.g Orlebar Brown Bulldog Trunks) if you want to go next level with your swimwear 34) Espadrilles are underrated 35) The sleeves of your short sleeve tops should hit you around the mid bicep area
36) Merino wool sweaters. They are breathable, lightweight, regulate body temperature and have natural anti-odor properties. 37) Colognes with citrus and “marine” notes for the warm weather season
Here are my Top 3 Principles to making progress in the gym - REGARDLESS of the routine you use...
You incorporate these things thing into ANY program and you will make big changes, no doubt.
1) Progressive Overload.
If you lift the same weights day in, day out you can't expect your body to change much. You have to get stronger in some capacity in order to get bigger.
This might be adding weight to the bar over time, doing more reps with the same weight, doing more sets, doing your workout faster (shorter rests) etc.
The name of the game here is to GET BETTER. Put stress onto the body. Force it to adapt and grow.
