Boys of Summer - Narnia Dispatches Edition 2018




It's a hot one so far and the first day of summer hasn't even hit.  But our guys aren't waiting.  They've kicked off the shoes and shed the spring jackets, time to soak up some Vitamin D.  Maybe exchange for a light cotton button down instead, show some calves, run along the beach and WE ARE HERE FOR IT!!  Let's break Blogger whadya say?

Nial "Nialler" Horan is going to kick it off with a few from his recently completed 2018 tour overseas. Simple and cotton does it best.





The casually understated Josh Duhamel with his son, Axl.  Nice shade of green with the henley, eh?  We love pictures of the guys with their children.


And Blake "he makes it so tough on a Narnia author" Shelton. LOL! If Narnia ever does a Cowboys of Narnia post, he's got that one nailed, but anything else?  It's like searching for a needle in a haystack.  Here's Blake from January 2018, w/ the beard cut out.  Nice gams, Blake! ;-)



Adam Levine in the classic white T:


And Louis Tomlinson sporting cuffed blush shorts,


We can't resist a double on Mr. Fashion Statement Louis. Hard to find any fella who wears shorts better than King Louis.


Harry?  He's rewriting the book on spring and summer suits, isn't he?


 

and behold the mint green,


And who is next?  Why, we have Mr. Gus Kenworthy, hey he's the one who loves to take it off!  We cannot help this; just working with the materials provided. Look at him, what a little cheese:


And Adam Rippon, teal never looked so refreshing!


Now, go to the fridge, get some ice and refresh the drink. If you need to ice the forehead, we'll understand.  We're not done yet because we have the summer stylish Kevin McHale and his boyfriend Austin P. McKenzie coming up.



Not always sure about the no-show socks, but I love the short suit! Narnia gives a thumbs up, Kevin!!  And time for his boyfriend Austin P. McKenzie to flash the white short sleeves and shades when he was in the San Francisco Pride parade as a cast member of When We Rise,


What about our favorite vintage OTP, Adam Lambert and the eternally beautiful Kristopher Allen.  What have they put together for the summer?  Prepare yourself.

Mr. Adam is stoic on the jet ski -


And Kris Allen has got the muscle tanks down pat. There is nothing in this world that can prepare for this vision.

 
Mr. Liam "Payno" Payne, wheweeeee!  Rocking that red polo in a throwback.  Hot damn.


And Zayn in an open blazer from the Balmain spring/summer 2015 collection:


And now, rounding out our Boys of Summer 2018 pictorial, first we have Jared Padalecki and his man, Jensen Ackles.  Jared in light layers while in Rio in 2012:


and Jensen, who knows how to layer and pulls off that Malibu look like nobody else.  What a dazzling, warm smile to go with that blue blazer.


Impossible to choose with Jensen.  He not only knows what to wear and how to layer it, but he carries himself with the professional posture that has paid off from former modeling experience. 

And the other two?  Mr. Austin Nichols in some dandy brown shorts and plaid shirt, on the water of course.


And Jakers, Mr. Jake Gyllenhaal showed that he could rock the red as well, circa pre-camo.  Cargo shorts and polo does a young man proud with the skateboard accessory.  ;-)  



So, while the temperatures continue to sizzle and soar, our young OTP men will continue to prove that linen wrinkles and damp cotton are a more than welcome benefit of the hot summer season.   

 Stay cool!!!

Ha ha, I love to give Blake Shelton a rough time. I like those navy swim board shorts he has on though. Nice!

And didn't mean to leave Matt Wilkas out, that was a bad oversight on my part.

I'm going to have to download Hearts on Fire by Bryan Adams - I hadn't heard that one in a long time and you forget what a rocker he used to be when he first came on the music scene. I loved his first album. Then he kind of went for the ballads and soundtrack titles. But he could rock with the best of them. What a great, distinctive voice.

Woohooo! Instead of raining men, looks like its radiating men! Hard to stay cool with so much provocation. Love men who are not shy with their use of color. Mint green reminds me of the beach and breezy summer days and nights. More people should incorporate that choice into their wardrobe. It's scrumptious. In fact, Louis' favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip. Come to think of it, I believe I see Harry's sweet inspiration.
