Summer fills up fast. Yacht days, white parties, rooftop dinners, beach clubs, resort weekends. You need clothes that actually work across all of it without overthinking every outfit. This guide walks through what to reach for and when, with picks straight from the current collection.
Linen for the heat, short sets for the pool, knitwear for the evening, and all-white for the occasions that call for it. Here is everything you need.
Linen Shirts for Vacation and Resort Style
Linen works because it breathes. The Capri Linen Shirt is cut for warm weather dining, island trips, and anywhere you need to look sharp without fighting the heat. Pair it with tailored shorts or linen trousers. White, navy, or hunter green all travel well.
Short Sets for Summer
A matching set solves the outfit question before it starts. The Radiant Grid and Sanctum Cross sets are built for pool days and beach clubs. White and silver reads clean and dressed up. Black and silver works later in the evening. The Ember Stud Vintage is a different direction if you want something with more texture.
White Party Season
All-white events are everywhere in summer. The key is texture and fit. A plain white shirt looks forgettable. The Signature Satin Stitchless brings sheen. The Pure Style Set gives you a finished look in one step. The Essence Signature Suit is the move for a proper gala. Add silver accessories and keep everything else clean.
Knitwear for Summer Nights
Once the sun goes down, a knit polo is the right call. Barocco's PSS viscose-blend knitwear moves well, keeps you comfortable, and looks put together without trying too hard. White and ivory work with almost anything. Pair with white trousers or beige for an evening out.
New Arrivals Worth Knowing
The Textured Grid Shirt and Tonal Leopard Jacquard are the ones getting attention this season. The Apex Drawstring Pants and Shorts are the comfort picks for travel days and long afternoons. The Embossed Paisley Tee and Geometric Seamless Shirt are for when you want something nobody else is wearing.
Yacht Days and Rooftop Nights
For the occasions where the setting does half the work, the outfit has to hold up the other half. The Signature Satin Stitchless in Ivory with Wellington Side-Tab Trousers in Ivory is a strong monochrome combination. A Lion Emblem Belt in gold and the Elegant Blazer in White/Silver finishes it for after dark. These pieces are worth having in the rotation.
What to Wear to Summer Parties: A Straightforward Guide
Pool party during the day: Apex Drawstring Shorts with a knit polo. Garden party: a Capri Linen Shirt in white or something light. Evening cocktails: the Pure Style Set or a white monochrome with a metallic belt.
White party specifically: skip the flat white shirt. Go for something with surface interest like the Signature Satin Stitchless or the Radiant Grid Set. Silver loafers, a simple belt, and you are done.
Weekend trip: two linen shirts (one white, one color), one short set, one pair of stretch pants, one knit polo. That covers five days without overpacking and gives you enough combinations for every situation you will actually end up in.
Frequently Asked Questions

Linen shirts, short sets, a knit polo or two, and at least one white look. Pieces that mix and match across dinners, days out, and evening events. Barocco's Capri Linen and PSS knitwear are solid starting points.
What should men wear to a white party?
Something with texture or sheen, not just any white shirt. The Signature Satin Stitchless, the Pure Style Set in White/Silver, or the Radiant Grid Set all work well. Add silver accessories and keep the palette tight.
What is PSS knitwear?
PSS stands for Performance Stretch Series. It is a viscose-blend fabric that stretches, breathes, and holds its shape. Built for summer evenings and resort dining where you want comfort without looking casual.
