Rafael Nadal – sleeveless shirts, bright colors, long shorts…
(image via www.evri.com)Roger Federer – fitted, classic, tailored, authoritative whites…
(image via cnn.net)Andy Murray – all white but very low-key (like he’s going to practice – not play Wimbledon)…
(image via freewebs.com)Andy Roddick –shirts that look 3 sizes too big + big shorts. Basically, the opposite of formfitting.

Given the economic climate, even designers are feeling a little more conservative these days: Menswear color trends for spring are, we’ll admit, pretty subdued. The bright exception? A hit of pink (yes, pink) on cardigans and dress shirts. Here, what to add to your shopping list:

Our friend Michelle is one of the hippest and most charming hostesses we know. For her recent birthday, she invited 75 friends – women only – to her New York apartment for cocktails at 7:30. Not that we don’t all love the men in our lives, but it turned out to be a wonderful idea; guests were still dancing and chatting away happily at 1am. Part of the magic was this refreshingly light, couldn’t-be-simpler summer cocktail: Fresca, vodka and cranberry juice.
Sur la Table offer the perfect accouterments for serving it up – brilliantly low-priced glasses with a fun, modern shape:

Now it’s your turn: What’s your favorite summer cocktail recipe?

We love suits made of Italian, summer-weight wool. But when it comes to the real dog days of July and August, cotton keeps you cool like nothing else. With a tailored chino suit like this one from J.Crew and a crisp cotton tie, there’s no reason to stay in the shade.

Once you’ve set up your man cave, it’s time to turn it into a temple to comfort: A few soft touches will make your lair infinitely more hang-out-worthy and luxurious. Should you find home-accessorizing a little daunting (or fear its girly-man overtones), check out Nate Berkus’s collection for HSN. Everything on offer is nicely minimalist yet masculine: basically, all the cool things you’d pick up on a vacation to Bali, Greece, Morocco or Mexico, had you actually gone to any of these places and found the grooviest shops. If you’re not sure how to mix everything together, just catch one of Nate’s appearances on HSN. He’s one of the most telegenic people we’ve ever met, and makes decorating seem cool and manly.
Love,
Loren
