With June around the corner and the smell of freedom in the air, you’re going to need one of our key trends to wear to the pub. Finding new styles maybe difficult, especially if you’re nervous about returning to ‘normality,' but don’t worry as we’re here to help you find what to wear, with trends to suit all styles.

1. Keep it functional with utility:

Utility pieces are lightweight, layer-friendly and make the transition from spring to summer simple. From multi-pocket jackets to a plain white t-shirt, like the Beacon, our utility fashion have you covered.

A key piece to have in your wardrobe, as the weather warms up is a shacket. It’s an essential spring trend to follow and all the celebrities are wearing them. You can find our shackets in three different colours: khaki, stone and black.

Or, keep it simple with a shirt and chino combo, add any colour of shirt by popping a three-pack into your basket with our Carlisle skinny jeans to create your own Threadbare utility trend.

2. Rock the boat with nautical vibes:

The nautical trend is a summer staple with British vacations making up for missed holidays. It’s time to get beach ready and park-perfect for long walks along a river or canal this summer.

Our top nautical trend this spring showcases a sailor inspired striped t-shirt, such as Grindle and Roone. Nautical tops look great paired with navy fabric shorts for casual comfort or cargo shorts for something more smart.

3. Go bold with the bomber jacket:

As we lead into the summer months, it’s no secret bomber jackets are going to be big. They’re a timeless piece of outerwear every man should own and the perfect throw on jacket to keep warm after work, especially if you’re heading out to a beer garden.

The bomber jacket can both dress up or dress down any outfit. If you’re planning on going to a more formal event, we suggest opting for the Nisbet bomber jacket in navy as it is sleek and suave yet with a modern twist.

The Rasen bomber jacket is a statement piece that will help complete any casual look. A khaki shade works best with a white shirt and black jeans, but for an ultra-cool vibe switch for the black shade and pair it with white trainers.

4. Style up your Bermuda shorts:

Looking for a post lockdown shorts look? This spring/summer, we have over a hundred styles of shorts for you to choose from. This season favourites come in a variety of colours, patterns and prints to keep you styled all summer long. You can’t go wrong with a pair of Bermuda shorts, fit for any occasion.

If your heading to pub, throw on a pair of our Swansea shorts to complete your outfit and look great in the day, right through to the night. Alternatively, our Southsea chino shorts are the perfect choice for creating more formal summer vibes that you can dress up for the evening.

5. Make a statement with your shirts:

We’re all ready to swap our heavy outerwear layers for summer-ready shirts that make noise with bold colours and patterns. You’ll want a lightweight linen shirt this spring, something that’s plain or lightly adds a splash of colour. We think our Inferno shirts are a must for your wardrobe and can be paired with any Summer look.

If you want to get creative, our patterned short sleeve shirt is a brave choice, or alternatively, choose a fashionable checked Vandross shirt, often seen on men all year round.

Styled with a pair of denim shorts and some new brogues, a statement shirt becomes an ideal outfit for beer gardens and social events this summer.

6. Add a splash off pastel to your wardrobe:

Dare to wear pastels to add a hint of colour this summer. After a 365 day-long sweat-pant season, you might want to refresh your spring wardrobe to transition from zoom call to post-work drinks.

The Clementine hoody is from our core line, and is available in loads of colours to get your spring colour, pastel, palette down to a tee. Team your hoody with a pair of Bergamot fleece shorts for a comfy outdoor pastel look to wear to any post lockdown occasion.
