See Now, Buy Now: The Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo is an Ultra-Comfortable Menswear Wardrobe Upgrade

Now that we’ve sprinted past Memorial Day, perhaps you’ve noticed one of two things: Your menswear wardrobe is finally retooled for the season at hand, or else, you need just a few more essential selections to round things into form, from the office to the links to the beach and back.

One style that can pass muster in each of those locales, especially when done the right way? The best polos for men are up for the challenge, with sporty sensibility, casually cool office style and good looks (plus comfort) that fits right in at the boardwalk or the driving range.

The normally preppy polo gets a masterful remix in matters of comfort and style in the hands of Mack Weldon, a longtime favorite of this Brooklyn style blog — best known for its boxer briefs and comfortable basics, the company now turns that same ultra-comfortable lens towards the best polo shirts for men.

Shop seasonal essentials at Mack Weldon

In the case of this fine late spring Wednesday, it’s the Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo that earns our attention (and possibly … a spot in your menswear rotation). It lives up to its billing and then some, with a super-soft 100 percent Pima cotton build that rivals other Mack Weldon T-shirts.

In my experience (and as you’ll see in my past Mack Weldon reviews), I’ve found the brand’s basics to be plenty comfortable while also retaining their shape and structure throughout the day, from T-shirts to the fan-favorite Mack Weldon Vesper Polo (which is now a covetable final sale item!). The Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo should carry on that same sense of style and softness, complete with a more relaxed fit and a more casual open collar, plus a two-button placket for a crisp look and feel.

Priced under $80 and available in a pleasing array of solid colors and patterns, including the breezy striped option shown throughout this post, the Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo feels as at home with stretch chino shorts as with moisture-wicking golf performance pants, or else perhaps even linen trousers and leather loafers at the office.

The Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo blends the comfort of your go-to T-shirt with the elevated nature of a polo, all without feeling too fussy (or breaking the bank), at least in my experience.

With a dozen color and pattern options available across the board when it comes to the Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo, it could prove a fine replacement for your favorite dress shirt or perhaps even a T-shirt when you feel like stepping up your game ever so slightly. That’s what Mack Weldon is all about, after all, and the Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo proves that point quite handily — tee one up for your wardrobe, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: The Proof Rover EDC Shorts are Positively Primed for Summer Adventures Off Grid

Best adventure gear for men.

As you prepare to go off-grid this summer — down the trail, to the stream or perhaps just across town for a park stroll — the right gear (no, the best adventure gear for men) makes all the difference, does it not? Perfect preparation makes perfect, as they tend to say, whether gearing up for a day hike, pitching a tent for an overnight excursion or simply grabbing an icy cold one on a hot summer’s day.

And yet, for all those pursuits, it’s the ingenious touches large and small that deliver the goods in terms of all-day utility. Look no further than Huckberry and the in-house Proof lineup for adventure-ready durability and yes, ingenious design touches aplenty by way of the Proof Rover EDC Shorts.

Find out more about Proof now at Huckberry

Proof designs gear with performance, style and certainly, adventure in mind, focused on staples like its best-selling and real-world tested Proof Merino T-shirts and Pants, and in my experience, the Proof Performance Lined Swim Trunks are some of the best in the business when it comes to moisture-wicking, quick-drying performance (as the name would indicate), and durability.

But back to the Proof Rover EDC Shorts, developed with hauling your everyday carry essentials with ease and reliability, plus quick access, top of mind.

The rugged Proof Rover EDC Shorts (marked down now as part of the still-going Huckberry Memorial Day Weekend Sale) use Huckberry’s blend of cotton, Repreve TruTemp365 recycled polyester and lycra for breathability, abrasion resistance and reliability on and off the trail. And while the cut of these shorts is a chino short-esque 7 inches, these adventure shorts for men pack in more features than your average pair of seasonal shorts, to say the very least.

The Proof Rover EDC Shorts boast a whopping total of seven pockets of various sizes for everything from your keys and wallet to a pocket knife and other handy tools for adventures off-grid. The crotch is also gusseted for further range of movement, again on and of the trail. The Proof Rover EDC Shorts also feature sturdy hardware and just a touch of stretch across the fabric itself, while a right zipper pocket at the hip is especially useful for storing small valuables.

With the toughness fit for a day hike and the clean design of standard, stylish shorts, the Proof Rover EDC Shorts can just about do it all. Heck, even at full price, these Huckberry men’s shorts aren’t a bad steal — but if inky black is your color of choice, this pair of the Proof Rover EDC Shorts is marked down right now. Happy shopping and happy hiking, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: Amberjack Is Crafting Some of the Best Men’s Sneakers with Plenty of Comfort

As we so often say here at The Style Guide, a guy’s footwear rotation needs options, and the more comfortable and yet stylish, the better. In the same way your prized leather dress shoes fit the bill for the 9-to-5 grind and leather lace-up boots put in the work in the fall and winter — from the distillery to a rock concert and back — you should keep a pair of the best leather sneakers for men close at hand as the weather warms up.

It’s simple enough on the surface, but that balance of comfort and style can be tricky, at times — leave it to Amberjack to deliver a fresh pair of stylish men’s sneakers with all the support and rebound you need.

That brings us to the Amberjack Atlas Sneakers, a recent introduction from the dress shoe brand that notes it makes the “world’s most comfortable dress shoes.” How do these sneakers stack up in the brand’s quickly growing lineup? Let’s take a look and find out.

Learn more now and shop at Amberjack

For weddings, for press trips and for formal work events, in my experience, I’ve found that Amberjack does indeed live up to that promise, using athletic sneaker technology blended into dress that look much more like dress shoes than hybrid dress shoe-sneakers (although Amberjack also makes a sizable number of those types of shoes, too).

The same goes for the brand’s handsome, stylish men’s chukka boots, but as the thermostat climbs, lightweight sneakers are optimal for pairing with light wash jeans, chino shorts and a bit of everything in between. The Amberjack Atlas Sneakers carry on that same modern legacy of comfort and style, using a natural full-grain leather upper paired with a breathable FLEXKNIT lining, solving another problem sometimes common among men’s leather sneakers.

The same technical specs as other Amberjack men’s shoes, like a heat-activated insole and an athletic-inspired outsole, lend rebound and support to the Amberjack Atlas Sneakers, which also come in visually appealing Walnut Suede, plus Black or Navy Nubuck, in addition to the crisp white, full-grain leather upper shown above.

For maximum versatility as you rock your Amberjack Atlas Sneakers, the best move might be a clean white pair, whether paired with olive chinos and a dark navy polo or with a pocket tee and stretch chino shorts.

Through it all, I’d wager you can count on the Amberjack Atlas Sneakers to deliver the company’s signature fusion of athletic-minded support and classic-meets-modern good looks. As Amberjack notes, the company designed these shoes to “feel even better than they look,” and if you ask me, that’s an enticing prospect for spring and summer style moves aplenty. Lace ’em up and get ready to feel as much comfort and support as style, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Basin Swim Trunks – A Perfect Pair of Swim Trunks Here In Time For Summer

Best swim trunks for men to wear now.

My friends, welcome to Memorial Day weekend as we gear up in proper fashion (with functionality in mind!) for the start of a summer that’s rapidly heating up. Fear not, though: There’s still ample time to stock up on the best men’s style essentials for summer, and there are a few keys to keep in mind as you build out your perfect summer #OOTD.

And yes, while the basics might be quite simple for summer — a well-made T-shirt, some of the best men’s sunglasses, breezy sandals or loafers and of course, a pair of the best swim trunks — it’s more important than ever that quality remains a focus. Of course, as you scour the pages of this blog on the regular, you know it’s more doable than ever, thanks to the good folks at Huckberry.

Find your new favorite summer gear favorites at Huckberry

The retailer looks to the classics for rugged appeal and timeless style (like the chambray shirt or the chino short), and that includes its summer-friendly lineup designed by Flint and Tinder. The collection draws from old-school looks made for hours at the beach or by the pool, or perhaps at the cabana bar or on the water — from trucker hats to hybrid shorts, if you can dream it up, Huckberry’s got it covered (but you certainly already knew that, right?).

While I’d wager you’ve got a selection of Flint and Tinder waxed jackets in your rotation for the colder months, don’t sleep on the laidback style delivered by the Flint and Tinder Spring/Summer 2026 Collection — from easygoing knit polos to stretch chino shorts and the Flint and Tinder Basin Swim Trunks, it’s arguably never been easier to pack for your next summer getaway or to hit the beach without too much fuss.

Shop the latest from Flint and Tinder now

And if you got caught a bit flat-footed in scoring a new pair of swim trunks ahead of the season at hand, take good care in knowing there are still stylish swim trunks aplenty for the taking at Huckberry, the Flint and Tinder Basin Swim Trunks included. In a nod to 1960s and ’70s swim trunks, these feature a shorter 6-inch inseam and a 100 percent nylon build for quick-drying capability.

A power stretch mesh liner offers support within these stylish swim trunks, which also come in a helpful array of eye-catching colors and patterns both classic and more, well eye-catching (look for the Beach Print or the Olive Cowboy Print).

The adjustable drawcord elastic waistband ensures both a secure fit and comfort (unlike, say, boardshorts, which boast a wider waistband often sans elastic), while the Flint and Tinder Basin Swim Trunks also feature an internal bungee cord front pocket to secure your keys and your everyday carry.

Huckberry notes the quick-drying fabric and shorter cut of the Flint and Tinder Basin Swim Trunks provides versatility and laidback summer looks off the trail, and performance on the trail as you hike on out to your favorite watering hole.

As so often tends to be the case with Huckberry, the Flint and Tinder Basin Swim Trunks hit all the right notes for performance-minded utility and classic summer style, and then some — opportunity calls out as you secure your new favorite pair of summer swim trunks.

The Friday Find: Bills Khakis Is Making Classic American-Made Denim For Each and Every Season

Best USA-made denim for men.

As we often tend to talk about here in our Friday Find series, where we spotlight the unheralded and the ultra-stylish, it’s easy to say they don’t make ’em like they used to in matters of menswear and the best men’s style essentials.

Fewer brands deliver gear that’s made in America, especially categories that are tricky to master, like the best USA-made denim, with rugged appeal and stylish functionality — just like the original pairs of blue jeans worn as tried-and-true workwear.

And for durable denim with classic appeal, there’s one source (among others) your favorite Brooklyn style writer has his eyes on: Feast your own eyes on Bills Khakis, a brand with more than two decades of experience (and accolades from the likes of GQ) that delivers on the promise of the best American-made menswear.

That includes the Bills Khakis 5-Pocket Straight Fit Denim shown here, although you very well might know the brand instead for its classically made, fan-favorite khaki pants and shorts (hence the name of the company, after all). And these stylish light wash jeans — also available in deeper shades of blue — are ideal for spring, as well as remarkably well-made for long-lasting dependability regardless of season.

The Bills Khakis 5-Pocket Straight Fit Denim feature substantial but supple 12oz. cotton denim construction in a timeless five-pocket design, and as Bills notes, its jeans feature “vintage looks (that) are created with hand sanding work and stone-washing,” plus a Bills leather patch and vintage brass hardware for good measure.

Designed in a rich range of washes, including a seasonally friendly light wash design, these are dependable jeans made to be worn classically — with a white tee or a short-sleeve henley plus canvas sneakers, for instance. When given the chance to rock something as timeless as the Bills Khakis 5-Pocket Straight Fit Denim, I’d say you should take that opportunity in stride– particularly ahead of the all-American holiday that is Memorial Day weekend, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: This Buck Mason Chambray Shirt is a Throwback-Inspired Style Classic for Your Modern Wardrobe

On this very fine #ThrowbackThursday indeed, let’s take a swing at something that’s both classic and yet modern all at once, shall we? The short-sleeve shirt, especially in a weave like the textured chambray shown above, has more than proven its mettle through the years, from the auto shop to the corner bar, with rugged good looks and expert construction, has it not?

The great news is, it’s just as well-suited for the demands of this sweltering summer as at any other time in the past few decades. Find one made by an iconic modern brand like Buck Mason, and you might truly say we’re cooking with gas.

Shop the best modern menswear at Buck Mason

And that brings us to the Buck Mason Breeze Cotton-Linen Short-Sleeve Shirt, an updated take on a throwback classic that arrives with plenty of style points and swagger for warmer days ahead (and right this very instant). This is, for starters, the kind of shirt you can toss in a weekender bag before you drive up the coast, or else wear to a rooftop soiree underneath a lightweight blazer.

Teamed with a tank top or a crisp white pocket tee, the look takes on a retro look of its own — and it’s all for the better in your next summer #OOTD, as Buck Mason calls this stylish men’s chambray shirt “a midcentury-inspired button-up with a perfectly proportioned point collar, single chest pocket, and a curved hem.” Those details certainly sound excellent for the rest of spring and summer, do they not?

The Buck Mason Breeze Cotton-Linen Short-Sleeve Shirt wears well and in durable fashion, at least in my experience with Buck Mason menswear, with a 55 percent linen, 45 percent cotton build that should hold its structure and deliver lightweight, perfectly breezy style (as the name implies, of course).

Helpfully, the warm-weather style options are almost limitless in terms of more casual and laidback situations, whether you team the Buck Mason Breeze Cotton-Linen Short-Sleeve Shirt with stretch chino shorts, breezy linen trousers and leather loafers, or else laidback light wash jeans and white canvas sneakers.

With the Buck Mason Breeze Cotton-Linen Short-Sleeve Shirt, I’d say classic style — and utterly classic style, at that — is well within your reach, particularly when reaching for the ever-versatile Worn Chambray End-Over-End variation of this handsome, fashionable chambray shirt for men.

When you’re looking for a touch more polish than a T-shirt and more casually rugged fashion than a classic T-shirt, a short-sleeve chambray shirt might just be the way to go — and this Buck Mason men’s chambray shirt absolutely gets the job done, and then some. Adjust your next summer menswear look accordingly, and go forth, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: These FRYE Graham Penny Loafers Are a Dressy Summer Footwear Must-Have

There are certain style rules it’s best to follow, and others that can be tweaked to your liking ever so slightly, especially in the balmy days of spring and summer. And with seasonal soirees aplenty on the horizon, those slight style tweaks to your favorite men’s style essentials come in many forms, starting from the ground up. Take the best dress shoes for men, something heritage footwear maker FRYE often excels at producing in any season — especially when it comes to the best boots for men.

Shop the best men’s dress shoes and much more at FRYE

And while you’ve certainly shelved your leather boots in favor of something more lightweight, that needn’t mean you aren’t allowed to switch things up from time to time.

And so, for your next summer wedding or rooftop happy hour, consider swapping out your favorite leather dress shoes for an ever-so-slight change of pace via stylish leather loafers — part prep classic, part dress shoe replacement, and as sleek as ever when made the right way by FRYE.

That’s where the FRYE Graham Penny Loafers come into play, switching things up from dress shoes in crisp, elegant fashion — and in a way that works as well with tailored chino shorts and a camp collar shirt as with your favorite linen suit for dressy occasions on the calendar (and on those Save The Dates on your fridge).

Wearing some of the best penny loafers for men as a replacement for dress shoes in particular comes down to a few key factors, starting with the design of the silhouette of the shoe itself — look for something more streamlined and with a more traditional dress shoe-style outsole, for starters.

The FRYE Graham Penny Loafers get the job done handily in that regard, available in rich materials like Saddle Leather and an equally rich, summer-friendly Dune Suede for breezy style for days on end. The choice between leather and suede also allows you to go more tailored and elegant (vis a vis the leather option) or a touch more casual and yet chic (suede loafers from FRYE can pair just as well with chino shorts and a polo, my friends).

As with other FRYE men’s boots, at least in my experience, the FRYE Graham Penny Loafers should boast impeccable construction, including a flexible rubber outsole and leather footbed cover, plus an almond-shaped toe for that sleek finish your finest summer suiting requires.

Heritage-quality construction makes all the difference as you look to upgrade your summer footwear rotation, something that FRYE lends itself to both “classic style” and “every day ease.” Your next dress shoe replacement awaits, just in time for the start of summer — FRYE is here to help amp up your footwear game, folks.

I’m often of the opinion here at this Brooklyn style blog that it’s best to keep things simple and yet effective and stylish at times. The best T-shirts for men often reflect that, at least if you know where to go: A flattering fit, dashing fabric and texture and even little details like a well-fitting ribbed collar should make the difference.

And if you can find all of those in an on-sale offering from a famed retailer like Bespoke Post, you’ve indeed hit the sweet spot — so it goes with today’s entry from rugged, Americana-leaning in-house Bespoke Post brand Fieldworth, which sweats the small stuff so you don’t have to worry about it.

And while we’ve already talked about how Bespoke Post does things like curate one of the best subscription boxes for men, it makes perfect sense that the brand wouldn’t put its stamp of approval (and stamp of style, so to speak) on anything less than a high-quality set of men’s basics. Let’s carry on, shall we?

The Fieldworth Loom Wash Jersey Tee might look simple on the surface, but again, it’s the little details that separate the very good men’s T-shirts from the very best men’s T-shirts.

In fact, Bespoke Post notes this tee boasts “a classic look with serious softness,” all thanks to a fine jersey knit fabric that’s available in either Heathered or Garment-Dyed colorways for “vintage balance,” as Bespoke Post notes.

See Now, Buy Now: Citizens of Humanity x Billy Reid Just Made the Perfect Pair Of the Best Light Wash Jeans for Men

Best light wash jeans for men.

It’s something we tend to talk about often here on this Brooklyn style blog: Shifting your favorite menswear essentials from one season to the next, all the while keeping your eye on the proverbial ball and knowing when to carry some of your favorite men’s style picks from one instance or situation to the very next.

For some of us (yours truly very much included), that might mean finding a way to wear your favorite pair of leather boots — even in the summer months — and for others amongst us (yours truly also included) that might mean working a pair of the best light wash jeans for men into your style rotation.

And if you appreciate rugged-meets-refined takes on utter style classics, from the peacoat to the denim shirt to the retro camp collar shirt — blue jeans included — the style aficionados at Billy Reid have just what you need. How about it, ehh?

Shop the best seasonal menswear now at Billy Reid

It’s easier said than done in some situations and climates, but if I had to wager, I’d say a pair of the best light wash jeans for men should fit the bill quite nicely as we move from spring slowly but surely into summer.

After all, a pair of the best men’s jeans is hardly ever out of fashion, and all the better if they come in a seasonally friendly light wash. And that, my friends, is where the Citizens of Humanity x Billy Reid Elijah Jeans enter your fashion rotation in these next few weeks.

For multiple seasons, the acclaimed Alabama menswear designer has teamed up with the ultra-fashionable California denim company on pairs of perfectly tailored, expertly crafted, remarkably well-fitting jeans in a variety of eye-catching washes, and that includes this latest run of high-quality designer men’s denim.

There’s an air of top-notch quality and craftsmanship to the partnership, as one would only expect from the same brand that makes the peacoat worn by James Bond (lest we forget). Even the leather back hip patch, with a custom logo, represents the best of the best — at least in my experience — when it comes to dependable style and eye-catching good looks.

The Citizens of Humanity x Billy Reid Elijah Jeans use regenerative cotton this time around, with a remarkably supple amount of stretch and durable yet soft, easygoing fabric — plus, a tailored fit that flatters, rather than restricts.

As Billy Reid notes with this pair of your new favorite blue jeans, “the Elijah Jean takes the same craftsmanship of the best-selling Adler jean and opens the leg a bit more for a wider fit that offers more flexibility and motion without compromising on style.” If that sounds right up your alley as far as a new pair of stylish men’s blue jeans, I’d say you’re in luck on this fine spring day, folks.
