The sun is shining, the weather is sweet, but your wardrobe is awful. We’re here to change that.
Summer is a difficult period of time to know what to wear, as balancing comfort with style is always a risky game. On one hand, you don’t want to spend the entire season dripping with sweat by sporting your favorite heavy-duty jackets and the like, but on the other hand you don’t want to wear a boring tee, a pair of plain shorts and then be done with it. You want to feel comfortable, but you also want to look good, and this selection of clothes and accessories from Asos will certainly help you achieve this.
Here’s CraveOnline‘s guide on what to wear this summer.

What to Wear This Summer #1
You can never go wrong with red, and this slim-fit red rib jersey in particular is a real eye-catcher.
With its grandad neck-line (that means it's low-cut, but not so low-cut that passers-by will be able to see your nips) this top will allow your skin to soak up the rays whilst simultaneously making you stand out among your fellow sun-lovers. Team it with a pair of tortoise shell or black-rimmed sunglasses to finish off the look.

It's the summer so you'll need to have a large selection of lightweight clothes in your wardrobe, but what about clothing for those occasions when you aren't sprawled on a deck chair? You're also going to need something to wear for those long summer nights, and this short-sleeve denim shirt is just the ticket.
With a black acid wash design, this shirt may not look like it'd belong on the body of guy who'd spent his afternoon splashing in the sea before ordering a cocktail with a little umbrella in it, but really, who wants to look like that guy anyway?
