Men's dress code for summer.

1) Your UNDERWEAR should only be seen in the changing room or in bed. Tuck it away, buy a belt.

2) Rush out to buy a DENIM SHIRT, there won't be enough to go round.

3) It's bye-bye to white SOCKS and good riddance!

4) Prudes (if there are any left) will rankle, but flesh-exposing SANDALS are in. To avoid making a stink: wash your paws, cut your nails, pumice stone your soles! Go Greek and Roman Empire. Brad Pitt in Troy and Russel Crowe in Gladiator were ahead of the trend.

5) Go easy on the tan. "LESS IS MORE" is just as true for the skin. Sunbathe in peace, steer clear of the big burn.

6) SHORTS will be short. Very short. Don't do baggy.

7) The message from the collections is make it LOOSE-FITTING. Let the wind ruffle through trousers, sweaters, t-shirts etc.

8) Yes, nurses are fantasy material but that's no reason to play doctor. White tunics, white linen trousers and spotless white flip-flops are perfect for an Alpine clinic, but they're a DEFINITE NO NO for a stroll around town.
