The Summer Weekend

One jacket, two pairs of trousers, a white dress shirt, two polos and a bathing suit are about all the other-than-workout clothing a man needs to pack for a summer weekend by the pool, complemented by a pair of slipon shoes and some espadrilles.

Assuming he wears or carries the jacket, his other stuff will fit easily into a duffel bag. There should be a pair of khaki cotton trousers to wear with a polo during the day, and lightweight trousers in charcoal gray to wear with the white shirt for evening. And if that jacket is a cream single breasted it will work for day or night, particularly when it is livened up with a bow tie after six o'clock.

All that is secondary of course. The heart of the matter is a bathing suit, polo shirt and espadrilles. Oh, and sunglasses that enable sidelong glances at the blonde.

On the tropical South Atlantic seaboard this is for all day everyday...fewer blondes though.
