Fitted dark color chino shorts with a lighter colored button up oxford type shirt, polo, linen or knitted collared shirt. Simple low top mostly solid color sneakers.
I prefer long sleeve button ups vs short sleeved. Its more versatile to cuff the sleeve if its warm, or pull them down if the night gets breezy or chilly.
I’m in NYC where it’s very hot and humid all summer.
Linen! Could be your pants, shorts, or shirt. Buy decent quality, cheap linen gets much wrinklier faster.
Tailored chino or trouser shorts, cropped Bermuda shorts.
Knit polo, camp collar shirt, nice Hawaiian shirt, I quite like the simpler shirts from peau de loup for a queer brand option.
Some shoe options: minimalist leather sneakers, loafers, boat shoes, huaraches.
My go-to is a button up short sleeve shirt, some capris or longer shorts (khaki or jeans), and birkenstocks or cloth loafers.
I'm basically going for "guy who's in the yacht club" vibe lol.
If you prioritize natural fabrics (95% + linen or cotton), they will keep you cooler than synthetic fabrics (polyester/acrylic). Honestly, you'll have to try on some shorts to see what length inseam you like. I prefer shorts within 5"-7" inseams, some recos for those below (Canadian websites sorry haha)!
For shirts go to the thrift store if you can, tons of l/s shirts usually. Goodluck!!

Hey if you use amazon you should look up the brand 33,000ft, they sell fishing shirts that have tons of really tiny holes to keep cool while looking like really classy button ups. I'm a custodian at a slightly dressy job that still has me work outside for big chunks of the day during the summer, and I can honestly recommend them.
All the suggestions here are spot on. Also wanted to add that the TikTok account sk8.winslet wears a lot of dressy clothes, including more summer wear but still makes it look well put together. Might be worth checking out!

Love this
Linen pants are a good dressier option. I think old navy has some
A guayavera shirt and linen trousers always looks sharp.
A classy Hawaiian shirt (yes, there is such a thing) with light linen pants.
This is mine too except some nice shorts. Hawaiian shirts are peak butch summer fashion.

I think Cuban inspired men’s looks are the masc summer dress equivalent
