Although it's winter here in Australia the sun shines brightly for those of you living in the northern hemisphere. We recognise how profoundly positive something as simple as warm rays can have on one's health and wellness.

When you're feeling good, you want to look good too so in order for a successful season of sunshine and good vibes, we've put together a list of 'summer our favourites'. Pair these items with your essential classic briefs from the Smithers "Rhythm" range and really feel the difference!

SHADES

A good pair of sunnies are essential for your style as well as your ocular health. It's important to choose the right pair for your face-shape. A good rule of thumb is to choose frames that contrast with the structure of your face. Square heads should opt for curves while round faces should stick to angular frames, and long faces with short, square frames.

While black is the easy choice, lash out with a tortoise shell or a light brown for summer. You’d be surprised how much a light brown pair of sunglasses can brighten up your vibe.

 

SHIRTS

Those of you who are health conscious would appreciate that we generally gain weight in winter and trim down for a lighter look in summer. The same can be said for fabric! As the seasons change, so should your wardrobe by choosing the appropriate material and fabric weights.

Summer fabrics will be lighter with looser weaves allowing heat to escape. The most common summer fabrics you should look out for are cotton and linen. The breathability offered by these two materials will keep you cool in those hot, humid months.

 

SAND-FREE TOWEL

No more dragging half the beach home. The sand stays on the shores when you use a Tesalate towel! These durable, double-sided beach towels are an Aussie staple. Utilising cutting-edge textile technology, the team at Tesalate created an exclusive AbsorbLite™ fabric to deliver a towel that’s simply better than all the rest

Like our men's swimwear, these towels are absorbent and fast-drying. The classic "Swell" design by Tesalate would pair well with one of the Smithers "Integrity" swimsuits.

 

SIGNATURE SCENT

Look good, feel good... and smell good too! If you haven't decided on a signature scent for summer, do yourself a favour a check out Louis Vuittion's latest and greatest line up of unisex cologne.

To help prolong the warmer weather, the man behind Louis Vuitton’s fragrances, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, has packed in all the summer vibes into the latest fragrance range for LV. He envisioned a joyful design with pop colours that celebrate an endless summer and he didn't disappoint. Go ahead and pick your poison! 

So to all of you soaking up the heatwaves, make sure you consider some of our favourites here at Smithers whether its sunglasses, a fresh linen shirt, a fuss free beach towel or a new scent. When you do summer with Smithers, you're doing it in style! Don't forget to keep socially distant and stay safe out there.
