Picks Of The Week - Mens

Summer and the festival season is rearing its head in the up coming months and Viva has chosen some must have pieces to complete your look this summer season.

Current trends of a bohemian musical summer call for vests, patterned shirts and a vintage twist. Fashion retailer Republic is carrying a great range of graphic t-shirts with great vintage detailing or classic retro logos. You can match these t-shirts with a summer plaid western shirt from Levi’s or Diesel as an over shirt to give that layered affect. A bright plaid plays along with the playful summer days and an earthier light colour tone gives more of a laid back summer feel. A dark navy or beige chino shorts can also offer a more tailored casual look. 

To complete your summer look go for a straw hat that evokes those long summer months in the sun. To protect your eyes in the long awaited summer sun grab a pair of Crafted Wayfarer Sunglasses. These vintage inspired sunnies offer you that fine detailing towards your vintage inspired summer wardrobe. 


With the summer season around the corner Espadrilles have become a key piece within men’s footwear. Their lightweight design and their rustic appeal make them a must have for the summer months. Popular flip-flop manufacturer Havaianas have branched out and produced an exciting line of Espadrilles, but with a Brazilian twist. Like their infamous flip-flops they come in a range of summer colours and have key unique features such as their rubber soles. The brand has also came out with a shoe range that boasts a flurry of exciting colours with an urban edge. Match these bright colours with a more toned down outfit to make them the key feature.











Clarks Originals Desert boot has been an iconic piece for the past couple of seasons in men’s wear. Clarks’ up coming autumn collection boasts a classic range of their suede Desert Boot with colours such as rich browns and antiqued greys. They give a touch of adventure to your sartorial look. 




The Smiley logo is an infamous logo known throughout the world and is attached to various subcultures ranging from the hippy movement to the early 90s dance culture. Smiley-Happy Deluxe showcases how this infamous logo can be used and transformed in fashion. Haute street-style and a cutting edge factor embody the spirit of the company. Their clothes display a range of unique takes on the logo that make it adaptable for a sleek standout statement with a humours twist.
