Get dressed for the summer
Swim trunks or not?
It's easy to look like a beach tourist when you're trying to make your beach outfit work at the lunch restaurant. That's why our advice is to always choose a collared top for your swim shorts, either a polo shirt or a short-sleeved linen shirt. This gives you a more formal look, so you do not stick out from the crowd when you move away from the pool or beach.
The linen shirt, a summer must have
On the hottest days in Denmark, you'd almost prefer not to wear clothes. But you'll probably be the only one to benefit from this solution. One way to avoid this is to use materials that are suitable for the season, and linen is perfect for that. Linen is not as tightly woven as cotton, for example, and is therefore more breathable and lightweight.

Layer on layer
A warm summer day in Denmark doesn’t necessarily mean a warm evening. A lightweight shirt can be a good starting point, and when the temperature drops, you can add a knit sweater for extra warmth. If that’s not enough, you can layer on a lightweight jacket as the final piece. Here is an example featuring a classic shirt, a timeless knit, and a jacket from Gant – a smart way to build a layered look.
