My husband came down wearing this the other day just as we were about to take Zoe for her walk and I thought it was the ideal men's casual summer outfit so I ran, grabbed the camera and took some quick photos of him.

Black and tan are two neutrals that compliment each other perfectly and pretty much all guys don't have a problem wearing either colour.

Men love their polo shirts and my husband basically lives all summer in his extensive collection. I adore them because they are nicer & dressier than any of his printed t-shirt collection. 

The hat is what finishes the outfit for me. A straw hat is a practical addition in the summer for guys but what I see is more the "Mad Men" sex appeal. They just add some panache for the men don't you think?
