Chic Summer Looks For Your Man

Are you tired of the man in your life looking like a slob every summer?

Then The Early Show's Chic on a Shoestring is definitely for both of you. It's full of fun summer looks for guys that will make them look cool in the summer heat.

Ariel Foxman, the editor-in-chief of Cargo magazine, put Rene Syler, Harry Smith and Dave Price to the test. And feeling very macho, bumping chests, the men guessed the price right, every time. Sorry, Rene; it was a good try.

This year's trends include lots of patterns and colors. You can mix and match this season, and not feel silly. So put away your solid-colored swim trunks. Instead, buy your man a fabulous and fun printed pair of swim trunks.

These looks are perfect not just for going into the water, but for lazy walks on the beach or for grabbing a snack on the boardwalk. Foxman paired the trunks with fun tops as well as great footgear. Just because it's summer doesn't mean men should go barefoot. She shows great flip-flops and sandals that are rugged enough for your guy.

Trend No. 1: Updated plaid trunks with summer windbreakers:
Plaid swim trunks are back. It's sort of a neo-preppy look. The windbreaker is perfect to take this look from day to night. Flip-flops are the perfect no-maintenance foot accessory.
