Life After Football’s five summer essentials for every man in 2024

Steve Madden Ace Sneaker

Steve Madden offers something for every man, but we are particularly fond of the brand’s Ace Sneaker collection. It’s a stylish, yet minimalistic sneaker that still catches the eye with its detailing. The bone/dark brown sneaker is our favourite and is perfect for that summer weather. 

EX NIHILO Speed Legends

We’ve been impressed by EX NIHILO’s latest fragrance Speed Legends. It’s a woody fragrance that is created to reflect the love for speed and performance. It transcends space and time, capturing the essence of an eternal pursuit of speed. Speed Legends has a refreshing blend of sage and bergamot and a base with notes of amber wood, tonka bean, and vetiver, which create a distinctive sillage. 

Secrid cardholder

The last thing you want to be carrying around in summertime is a big wallet. If you don’t have a jacket with you, you need something small that can carry your debit cards. Luckily, Secrid offers a small card protector that is the ideal solution. If you also tend to carry cash on you, you could choose to go for a larger size that can also store some bills. 

Statement sunglasses

It’s a trend this year to try some statement sunglasses. We quite like the Prada PR19WS 1AB5S0, which features a small rectangular frame and suits oval or round face shapes well. It keeps the colours of the environment realistic and is ideal for daytime driving, cycling, walking, or golfing. 

Swimshorts

There’s no summer without going for a dip into the ocean or swimming pool. We’ve been scouring the internet and ultimately decided that we like the minimalistic style of FOUR’s swimwear. Their Circles Logo Swim Short Vintage has a relaxed fit, adjustable drawstring waistband, two side pockets and one small back pocket. Our favourite colour is khaki.
