When it comes to men’s summer clothes, it’s really hard to come up with anything new.
In terms of basic styles, in ordinary commuting scenes, in addition to shirts and T-shirts, women do not have as much freedom of choice. Even if they wear a simpler vest, they will be noticed. It’s sexy, let alone anything else.
So, for the men’s clothing trends in the past two years, brands and designers, in addition to working hard on colors and patterns, naturally also focus on fabrics.
What is intertwined with today’s various functional fabrics is that in the past two seasons, whether it is a show or street photography, fashion trends have reached out to retro archives. Short-sleeved summer clothes made of knitted fabrics is quietly rising.
Summer clothes? Knitted fabric?
I believe it is difficult for everyone to imagine these two together.
In most people’s minds, warm knitted fabrics have always been exclusive to winter clothing items such as sweaters. If you cut it into short sleeves and wear it in summer, is it cold or hot?
But we also have to admit that sometimes fashion is so “elusive”.
As early as the 2019 spring and summer show, Jacquemus, known for its French elegance, launched several knitted summer short-sleeves in its men’s collection.

In fact, knitted fabrics and summer clothes are not very new and unusual. combination, but most of it exists in women’s clothing and became popular in the 1960s.
Especially in the past few months, various knitted slings have been frequently searched due to the sales of Korean little horse Kim Hyuna, making many domestic female fans flock to them.
Knitted summer clothes have always been associated with men.
If you try to recall, you will probably remember that among the Polo shirts that Ye Zi mentioned before that were mixed with suits, many were knitted fabric styles, which were retro combinations from the 1970s.
Perhaps due to the need for retro trends, from 2017 to this year, Polo, T-shirts, vests…
All kinds of men’s knitted summer clothes can be seen arrive.

Knitted short sleeves that are not cool
p>
Are knitted short sleeves hot?
This should be a question that everyone who reads the article wants to ask.
In various “HyunA style” articles, when introducing knitted slings, due to the knitted holes, in order to enhance their persuasiveness, the authors have put the label “highly breathable so they are not hot”. .
But when it comes to breathability.
Unless the eyelet grid is very large, among similar items, whether it is knitted with thick or thin threads, it is actually not as good as thinner materials such as cotton and linen.
And these visible holes are completely equivalent to see-through clothing. In order not to reveal any points, you need to wear a bottoming shirt, which is superfluous.
So Ye Zi believes that people who wear knitted short-sleeves do not put breathability first. Its advantage lies in its abundant breathability. texture.
Actually, knitted short sleeves is a very broad term.
There are many different stitches in knitted fabrics, such as pique, wicker, twill…
As for the professional names, we all have different opinions. Let’s talk about it in detail.
You just need to remember that no matter what kind of stitching method, compared to summer clothes with smooth and smooth surfaces such as cotton, linen or polyester, knitted short-sleeves have obvious texture, which is the so-called ” “Knitted feel”, with a thicker, more stable and thicker texture effect.
We can easily draw conclusions from Polo shirts. We can judge whether the texture is stronger or weaker between ordinary fabric styles and knitted fabric styles.

▲ Ordinary Polo shirt
As far as the simplest and ordinary T-shirt is concerned:
Knitted fabric is its own decorative detail, which can bring enough design to the T-shirt, making it no longer boring and difficult to wear at a glance. It has full layering and novelty behind the upper body.
Of course, the texture in knitted fabrics also has strong and weak points.
In principle, the thicker the needle and thread, the stronger the texture, and the surface has a patterned structure (knitted pattern) , the stronger the texture.

Another advantage of knitted fabrics is that they have a thick and delicate texture It has the characteristics of no light feeling, no reflection at all, and is very easy to control, so you can easily try some bright colors and fancy patterns that you usually dare not wear.
The effect of the fabric , giving you more freedom of choice and style possibilities in summer.
To Regarding specific matching choices.
Whether your top is a knitted Polo or a knitted T-shirt, Ye Zi recommends that you use trousers as bottoms.
Compared with ordinary T-shirts, Polo and trousers, knitted short-sleeves + trousers are undoubtedly more novel and different.
The thick, glutinous and full texture of knitted tops is lacking in flat trousers, and trousers can also increase the neatness of knitted tops. They are in sharp contrast with each other but are extremely coordinated, making them more elegant. The high degree of styling completion highlights the grand and stable elegance.
As a summer commuting outfit, it is more appropriate and not casual.
If you want to knit Wear short sleeves for a more casual look, and jeans are a must-have.
When it comes to the combination of knitted short-sleeves + jeans, Ye Zi recommends choosing thick-thread knitted tops. Although the texture of the tops and bottoms looks rough, denim is much stiffer after all, so the contrast between the two The effect is very unique and significant.
In addition, the knitted short-sleeves have a good retro feel, especially when paired with jeans. Underneath the substantial texture is a rich retro temperament.
Finally, summer Knitted men’s clothing and the ubiquitous knitted vest.
Speaking of knitted vests, more people may be familiar with its Ivy Style attribute when combined with a long-sleeved shirt, which is elegant and formal.
But nowadays, more knitted vests are products after the trend.
The silhouette has become shorter and more oversized, and street-style men are also wearing it over various short-sleeves. The purpose is to mix and match with an extra level of details, and have more street personality and trendy attitude. .
But what is clear is that it is really not cool to wear it like this.
