Style Tip: Summer dressing is all about how little you can wear and still look pulled together-- so keep your eye on the ball and think about the 4 'S's-- shirt, shorts, shoes, sunglasses.  I really love pulling a freshly washed dress shirt out of the dryer and wearing it with a pair of chopped-off shorts, and a dress shoe (loafer, Stubbs & Wootton slipper, moccasin) and a great pair of sunglasses (Randolph Engineering makes the best). You don't even really need a belt, and you definitely don't need an iron.  Oh and a great watch always helps-- but that doesn't begin with "S."
