1. Sunglasses to block the haters (and the sun)
This look combines a bunch of staples for this summer. One of them being the backpack. Bags for men have become super popular this year and they’ll be very useful to you in the summer, when you have more to carry around and many days outside. The round sunglasses are certainly still a trend and you just can’t go wrong with a pair of white sneakers and a denim jacket! A classic, yet fashionable look.
