Just when it looks like summer is here to stay, the weatherman warns of cooler weather and rain to come, so what designer menswear styles are there to wear when it’s not quite hot enough for a t-shirt or vest but not too cold enough for a jacket?

A big hit this year are checked shirts, you all know how versatile a shirt can be but sometimes is too smart for everyday casual wear, a checked shirt however is a great alternative, either on its own or as seen in many magazines with a funky t-shirt underneath. Following this look is a great way to mix two top trends, printed t-shirts and check shirts, look at stars such as Robert Pattinson for inspiration.

You can choose from many different colours and shades of checked shirts as well as different sleeve lengths, as it gets warmer shorter sleeves are good for keeping cool. This look is good teamed with vintage looking denim jeans, straight leg or skinny, with either pumps or trainers.
