If you have always been more comfortable in winter wear and often feel confused by fashion choices when it comes to summertime, be rest assured that you are not alone. Summer wear is frequently less flattering and less comfortable than the clothes found in most autumn/winter collections.

For those in fashion crisis, attempting to prepare for the arrival of the new season in 2010, here are a few basic starting blocks from which to build your summer wardrobe.

Start simple. The right T-shirt is the first step to many a successful outfit. The fit is the most important thing. Too tight often looks preppy, too loose can look lazy. Try a range of different brands and once you''ve found one you like, stock up on their lightweight varieties.

Lightweight trousers are also a must. Here, a good fit is paramount to being comfortable in the heat. Too tight and when your body expands in the sun you''ll find yourself getting progressively less comfortable. Too loose and they won''t look smart enough for formal occasions.

Some men simply aren''t comfortable in shorts and it''s true that it''s a difficult look to pull ...
... off. There are alternatives available, however, Capri pants and turn-up lightweight trousers are just two. Check out your favourite high street stores for more.

Unfortunately shorts, or rather shorts-style swimming trunks, are simply unavoidable on the beach unless you want to be seen in speedos, which you definitely do not.

A light weight summer jacket is just what you need to make it through more formal occasions without sweltering in your formal dress. Linen, once again, makes a good choice, as long as you''re adept with the iron and ironing board.

Set off your summer style with a great pair of shades. The ultimate in summer accessories, the right pair of sunglasses can add instant cool to any ensemble. Spoilt for choice? Ray Bans, or their counterfeit counterparts, are always a winner.
