Summer Styles that Work

So the warm weather is fast approaching here in New York, and I must admit that when it comes to summer, my style could use some work. For the most part it's consisted of t-shirts and the like (but thankfully never any flip flops).
What are some of the casual styles that you guys sport that fits the warm weather, but also lets you look your best?

I usually wear black, white, or grey linen or lighter material shorts with a v neck and some low top shoes or slip ons. Black board shorts and a white t when I go to the pool. Flip flops, but with the strap across the toes, not the came toe type
But, I live in Texas, so you probably want a different look

I hate wearing jeans and dress pants or even khalkis in the summer, all sweaty and shit. I love linen in the summertime, or at least the few months of it we have in Chicago. I don't go overboard and do the miami vice thing, nothing to flashy or cubana joe or whatever that brand is but love linen. casual look while still looking smart, no sweaty balls and very comfortable

It sucks in Miami, some of my best clothes are just too hot to where in the humid Miami nights.

V-necks, polos and button down linen shirts (short/long sleeve). Cotton pants/blazer work well too. Since you're in NYC, I imagine you've heard of Uniqlo. They have all the above in every color imaginable. If the items are on promotion, you can easily snag a 2 for 1 type deal.

Thin, linen, white, button up tops are what you want.

Summer in NYC is brutal because so much of the city has sub par air conditioning.
For work, I went with the standard light brown/tan suits, but linen never seemed dressy enough in a suit, and cotton was just as hot as wool ime.
Pastel cotton/linen dress shirts, khakis, and lighter dress shoes.
Weekend day time, I had my.girl at the time, so regular dude stuff, lacoste, Fred Perry, mall brand shorts - banana, j. Crew. High quality v neck t-shirts. Aviator sunglasses. Switch from musky/spicy cologne to citrus cologne.
Had I been single, same uniform, just all nicer brands.
Nights? Lighter versions of the norm.
Spring and Summer are time for color and skin.

Anyone know where to get cheap linen pants and shirts? I used to go to the Calvin Klein outlet near me and they actually had some pretty good deals but hoping to find some other sites where I can buy cheap linen pants and shirts.
