My Summer Style Guide: Kody Onyiuke

According to Kody Onyiuke, it’s not summer without a powerful SPF.

What is your essential summer purchase and why do you love it?

My essential summer purchase is always a pair of Tommy Hilfiger swim trunks. The Hilfiger brand has such a summer energy that I always feel alive on the sand, in the water or on a boat, and of course a stylish swimsuit look is an indispensable part of men’s summer clothing.

What’s one beauty product everyone should get their hands on — and why?

A facial sunscreen called Pavise, a biotechnology-powered and age-resistant sunscreen for total skin regeneration. It’s one of my skin routine secrets: it’s super powerful at both healing and protecting the skin.

What is a place you like to visit, and how do you spend your time there?

The Hamptons are by far my favorite place I like to visit, especially in the summer. I grew up in a lake town in New Jersey and next to water. I feel peaceful when I’m surrounded by different bodies of water and beautiful neighborhoods. One of my best friends is a Hamptons DJ, and I love catching his various sets when I’m in Amagansett, Montauk, or East Hampton.

Which summer shoe can you not recommend enough?

I feel like loafers and boat shoes are an inherent part of summer fashion and will never go out of style. They are the perfect addition to complete a man’s look, whether you pair them with linen trousers, cotton shorts or almost anything else.

What’s one accessory you can’t live without, and why?

My MVMT sunglasses – I want the world to see me the way they see my sunglasses – with a coolness, a mystique and a sleekness.
