Labor Day weekend style guide

With Labor Day weekend just around the corner, it’s the perfect opportunity for high achievers to take a well-deserved break, relax, and enjoy some downtime.

But as the unofficial end of summer approaches, you might be wondering how to dress appropriately for various occasions. Whether you’re planning a casual outing, a day at the beach, an evening event, or some outdoor activities, it’s important to strike the right balance between style and comfort.

As always, HKT has got you covered. Our expert style consultants have curated a concise guide to help you choose the best looks, ensuring you stay stylish and comfortable throughout the holiday weekend.



Casual outing

For a stylish yet relaxed look during Labor Day weekend, choose a custom made polo shirt from HKT, which seamlessly blends comfort and fashion.

Pair your polo with shorts or chinos, and complete your look by opting for classic loafers or trendy sneakers, ensuring both comfort and flair.

Whether you’re exploring new places or simply enjoying time with friends, this outfit combination will help you look effortlessly cool and confident.





Beach trip

As summer reaches its grand finale, Labor Day weekend is the perfect time to head to the beach and soak up the last rays of sunshine.

To keep things stylish while enjoying the sand and surf, consider pairing vibrant swim shorts with a lightweight linen shirt for a relaxed yet refined beach look.

To complete your ensemble, don’t forget essential accessories like a wide-brimmed hat to shield you from the sun, chic sunglasses for added flair, and comfortable slides or espadrilles for easy, breezy footwear.

This excellent combination ensures you’ll be beach-ready and fashionable, as you enjoy the last days of summer.

Evening gathering

If you’re hosting or attending a sophisticated evening gathering during Labor Day weekend, we recommend you opt for a custom made shirt in a high-quality cotton, breathable linen, or luxurious silk.

Pair your shirt with well-fitted trousers or dark jeans, to create a polished and refined ensemble.

Enhance your style further with a pair of custom made dress shoes and matching luxury leather belt – something HKT can create for you.

And finally, complete your look with a tailored made sports blazer in a brown, green or burgundy tone, which will perfectly transition you from the summer to the fall.

This carefully curated outfit will ensure you stand out at any event, and remain cool, calm and collected throughout the evening.






Outdoor adventure

When getting ready for outdoor activities this Labor Day weekend, focus on comfort and functionality in your outfit.

Start with a moisture-wicking T-shirt or fleece mid layer that will help to keep you dry and comfortable. Pair this with breathable shorts or trousers for optimal mobility.

For footwear, opt for comfortable sneakers, or hiking boots, if you’re heading out on a trail. And don’t forget to wear comfortable and supportive socks to keep you on track.

Also, consider wearing or packing a lightweight jacket, windbreaker, or vest. Just in case you face some unpredictable weather.

Finally, to finish off your outfit, accessorise with stylish sunglasses and a broad-brimmed hat or baseball cap. And don’t forget the sun block!
