When it comes to summer dressing, we women have it downpat. We're known to dress for the seasons, even if that means we'll be freezing cold in our air-conditioned offices during the summer.

But when it comes to men's summer fashion, that's where things get a bit tricky. Is it okay for guys to ditch the pants for a pair of shorts (and no, we don't mean cargo shorts)? And what about adding some brighter colours into the mix, or going for an all-white ensemble?

Well, gentlemen, all of the above is totally okay — in fact, we encourage you to try to experiment with your style this summer. And to help you out, we've rounded up 20 outfits from Canada's most stylish men to give you some inspiration.

Check them out below!
