The man on the left in the illustration does a good job of showing us how to deal with the hot season.
Start as he does with a linen short sleeved shirt, preferably one with cuffs on the sleeves and two pockets on the chest, and self-belted shorts made from cotton or linen. Consider tieing a cotton bandanna around the neck but don't worry about it either way. Slip into a pair of espadrilles, with or without ankle ties, and head for the bar for a cold drink like the French 75. Pour a jigger of gin into a flute, add half a glass of sparkling wine or champagne, lemon juice and simple syrup to taste, and top off with more sparkling wine.
On cooler days or slightly more formal occasions, substitute linen trousers for the shorts. And that sums up summer casual.
