Summer is well and truly here, and for some, pointelle cotton and Pucci dresses are not the silhouettes you may be after. Perhaps you're leaning more androgynous, or perhaps you're mining the internet for outfits for your significant other. Either way, there are some menswear looks out there that are just too good to ignore.
Brad Pitt and Matthew McConaughey took the '90s with their laid back, denim-forward looks involving relaxed button downs and a surplus of suede, serving up the ultimate summer style inspiration for shirts and pants.
Now, in the 2020s, our menswear style icons come via the likes of Harris Dickinson, Nicholas Hoult, A$AP Rocky, and, of course, Jacob Elordi and his purse collection. From the casual pretty-boy polish of Dickinson and Hoult, who are often seen in various simple Prada ensembles, to Rocky, whose style is as impeccable as it is undeniably cool, to Elordi, whose Australian sensibilities lend themselves to his relaxed approach to wardrobing, each of these modern male style icons are setting the bar for men and androgynous dressers everywhere.
Below, we round up some of our favorite male style icons for your next round of sartorial inspiration.

A laid back denim button down and khaki pants combination never goes astray, especially when paired with vintage accessories.

Another excellent denim moment for the actor, this time dressed up with a black blazer and crucifix pendant. Very '90s.
Brad Pitt

A famous look of Pitt's for a reason. We love the perfectly fitted white t-shirt under the tonal sweater vest and wire frame sunglasses. Extra points for matching with Gwyneth.
A$AP Rocky

These days, A$AP Rocky's style has become synonymous with tailoring. We love how this look feels summery and fresh but still put together.

A perfect ivory suit with a black button down is a reverse to the classic option everyone else goes for. It's made all the more summery with brown leather loafers and thick black sunglasses.

The internet's babygirl is providing soft boys everywhere with the perfect summer outfit formula. Siri, play Clairo!

Forget summer whites. Elordi wears a sleek and chic all-black look for summer, consisting of a fine knit polo shirt, suit pants, and classic black leather loafers.

The Australian way is out in full force with this look consisting of a slouchy linen shirt, classic blue jeans, a bucket hat, and Valentino shoes and handbag.
Nicholas Hoult

Hoult stepped out recently with freshly bleached hair and a crisp white look to go along with it, pairing his monochrome ensemble with a camel sweatshirt and Prada belt bag.

A lesson in layering and how to step up the polish when it's hot out. And proof a good pair of Oxfords go a long way.
