For every time you feel like splurging a little bit on, say, one of the best men’s jackets for spring, there are times when it’s wise to keep your pocketbook in check and instead seek out menswear essentials that still feel like a bit of a splurge, yet offer you stylish looks at a fair price. And while award-winning menswear designer Billy Reid is a luxurious step up from more affordable everyday menswear brands, there are discounts aplenty if you know where to look — as in the Billy Reid Sale section, of course.

The designer doesn’t normally run sales, but lately, there have been some stylish menswear gems tucked away in the Billy Reid Sale section, like the fashionable yet functional Billy Reid Pensacola Long-Sleeve Polo as shown above. It’s your lucky day, as we like to say, because this polo is up for grabs in time to serve as both a polished daily staple and a reasonable choice when it’s just a bit too breezy this spring to go with a full-on, traditional short-sleeve polo.

Look closely, and I think you’ll find the Billy Reid Pensacola Long-Sleeve Polo is as wearable on its own as it is beneath a soft-shouldered, lightweight spring blazer (which Billy Reid also sells!), fashioned from soft organic Pima cotton that’s also been garment-dyed to give it some character out of the box.

It’s also helpfully now marked down below $90, with the good looks and expert design detailing to make it worth dropping a bit more money on a stylish men’s polo for spring and summer. Note the designer’s careful touches, like a woven undercollar and the brand’s signature ribbon stripe detailing inside its traditional polo vents.

The Billy Reid Pensacola Long-Sleeve Polo also includes careful stitch detailing at the chest pocket in a callback to its ribbon stripe — in addition to the buttery-soft fabric, you’re certainly getting plenty of thoughtful touches that make the Billy Reid Pensacola Long-Sleeve Polo worth the money, and then some.

Color options like Navy, Washed Grey and Tinted White serve up classic, versatile looks aplenty, with the chance to pair with dark tan chinos or breezy khaki-hued linen shorts, to name but a few easygoing style combinations. If I had to bet, I’d say this fashionable men’s long-sleeve polo certainly pulls its weight as far as on-sale style steals are concerned.

In a style world filled with clutter at times, it’s refreshing to be able to cut through that clutter and find brands dialed in and dedicated to doing top menswear essentials the right way, at the proper price and with the proper fabrication and materials in mind. A tall order in this day and age, no?

But that’s why we’re here with our Friday Find series — unearthing brands you haven’t yet discovered, brands that could very well prove a newfound favorite, companies with a bit more history behind them than average. Take companies like Triple Aught Design and Devium USA, both favorites of this series — and prepare to meet a potential new favorite brand to kick off this fine spring weekend.

INDIGOSEA is a company as of late I’ve been proud to wear, with modern roots dating back just to February 2025 and a historical foundation that can trace its way back to garment factory production across a variety of categories for Japanese companies. It’s a fascinating story that means a few important things for you, dear reader.

Find out more and shop new gear at INDIGOSEA

In my brief experience with the brand across these past few months, INDIGOSEA menswear focuses on rugged workwear classics, from the INDIGOSEA Vintage Henley shown above, to a variety of durable chore jackets, cargo workwear pants and hard-wearing denim, among other casually rugged, easygoing and yet endlessly classic selections. And yet, these menswear essentials, as much as we love them on the surface here at this Brooklyn style blog, are often delivered to you from INDIGOSEA at near-wholesale prices.

Yes, you read that right: Rugged staples like the INDIGOSEA Vintage Henley are as affordable as a mere $38, a far cry from some designer prices — and in my experience, the company’s quality and fabrication stands up to just about anything from more expensive brands. Not that there’s not a time and a place for beloved designer favorites… but the durability and style points of the INDIGOSEA Vintage Henley are simply remarkable for the price, and then some.

Shop stylish men’s henleys and much more

Right off the bat, the INDIGOSEA Vintage Henley feels ultra-soft yet sturdy out of the box, boasting 12.3oz. cotton jersey fabric, a standard fit and reinforced cuffs and a dependable neckline for an expert fit beneath your favorite spring trucker jacket — or worn all on its own. I’ve also found the INDIGOSEA Vintage Henley to be an ideal layer beneath a soft merino wool cardigan, and when worn on its own, the flattering standard fit of the INDIGOSEA Vintage Henley is plenty serviceable.

Look beyond the basics this season when finding your new favorite henley, my friends — the INDIGOSEA Vintage Henley might prove a new staple piece, folks.

The Thursday Buy: These Sunski Tango Sunglasses Are an Affordable Everyday Carry Upgrade Available at Huckberry

Most affordable sunglasses for men.

As you shore up your lineup of the best men’s gear for spring and summer, I’m curious: What’s at the top of your list as far as everyday carry essentials — and much more? There are considerations aplenty to keep in mind, from selecting the right pair of canvas sneakers or boat shoes to dialing in the fit of your shorts, your swim trunks and your ever-trusty spring polo or T-shirt. Yes, there’s plenty at play — much of which you can always find at do-it-all retailers Huckberry — but don’t let your EDC fall by the wayside.

That price makes those stylish men’s sunglasses a steal in any season, but particularly now — the beach and the boardwalk are calling, after all.

Fashioned from lightweight, eco-friendly Tortoise Amber (at least when it comes to this handsome pair of classically styled sunglasses from Sunski and Huckberry), the Sunski Tango Sunglasses boast durable touches like stainless steel hinges and polarizes lenses for some major bang for your buck, while the rounded lenses and keyhole nose bridge are a retro look made to be dressed up with an Oxford shirt and a navy blazer, or dressed down with a breezy slub cotton tee and linen shorts.

The Sunski Tango Sunglasses also come in some appealing lens and frame color combinations to suit every style, like a blue Midnight and golden Cider variety for an even further dash of retro flair.

Perhaps the best part of the Sunski Tango Sunglasses beyond the price might just be the variety of options available in a pair of sub-$130 men’s sunglasses — playful sepia-tinged lenses even deliver eye-catching good looks that could prove a bit more fashion-forward if you’d like to push the envelope ever so slightly with your everyday carry and your eyewear selection of choice.

Sunski men's sunglasses review.

As Huckberry sagely notes, “style and superior protection” are at the core of the latest best-selling pair of Huckberry frames, and your new favorite sunglasses are — again, as Huckberry says — “perfect for anyone who wants to look great while staying protected under the sun.” If I had any say in your next eyewear upgrade, the Sunski Tango Sunglasses are absolutely ideal, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: These Todd Snyder Selvedge Jeans are an Expert Seasonal Style Addition

Best light wash jeans for men.

In my time writing about the best menswear essentials and must-shop brands for guys, I’ve had the chance to watch certain companies blossom and grow, as it were (it’s spring, after all!), turning into new standards for the modern man.

Lofty praise though that might be, that’s what Todd Snyder has brought to the #menswear game and perhaps, to your wardrobe in the past decade-plus, from opening his first store in New York City to changing and perfecting the way guys wear everything from T-shirts to selvedge denim, Italian tailoring, luxe flannel shirt jackets, crisply cut sweater polos and much, much, much more.

I’d wager if you want to look great, you need only shop at Todd Snyder for everything from the basics to style splurges — and a few choice pieces in between, like a pair of the best selvedge denim. Classic denim is something of a specialty for the designer, with some pairs made in L.A. and large amounts made with high-quality 100 percent cotton denim.

Find out more and shop now at Todd Snyder

It’s selvedge denim of the light wash variety that we’re talking about today, as the Todd Snyder Slim Selvedge Jeans arrive in a suitably spring-ready variation that loosens things up a touch and certainly lightens things up from your typical pair of thick, inky blue selvedge denim. It’s an all-American update to an all-American classic, with a lived-in look and feel that the designer says is “loaded with quality, vintage-inspired details,” including oxidized rivets and a shank button fly, not to mention genuine selvedge trims for a handsome shot of contrast and authenticity.

Yes indeed, in my book, the Todd Snyder Slim Selvedge Jeans look like you’ve had ’em for years, all the while proving lighter and easier to wear in the warmer days of spring than your thickest pair of indigo selvedge (although, speaking from experience, it can be tough to put away beloved pairs of selvedge denim, can it not?).

Shop new spring must-haves now at Todd Snyder

With a tailored fit through the thigh and a tapered fit through the ankle, these jeans should look crisp and par just as stylishly with chunky leather loafers as with classic suede chukka boots or leather moc toe boots.

In fact, you very well might want to try your hand at dressing up the Todd Snyder Slim Selvedge Jeans ever so slightly with a lightweight navy cotton blazer and a white Oxford shirt this season, among other must-try seasonal combinations. When quality is of the essence and versatility is what your style playbook needs, Todd Snyder is quite simply the man to see, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: These Work-Focused Chukka Boots from Huckberry and Rhodes Footwear Belong On Your Feet

Best men's chukka boots.

Another day, another foray into spring style essentials, and we once again find ourselves talking, if briefly, about the best footwear for men — in this case, we’re diving into a slightly more rugged pair than yesterday’s feature on the best new boat shoes from Astorflex. Instead, let’s turn towards the humble, hard-working chukka, once again offered up by our friends at Huckberry.

Shop seasonal style essentials and more at Huckberry

While style legends like Steve McQueen made the chukka boot an easygoing yet rugged staple, Rhodes Footwear now takes that same DNA to heart decades later and ramps things up a notch in terms of dependable, workwear-inspired style and utility.

Granted, the Rhodes Footwear Work Chukka Boots aren’t as spring cleaning-approved as steel-toe lace up work boots, so the style perhaps wears more stylishly for off-duty pursuits, but the rugged name remains the same — and just as worthy of your consideration. Throw in the fact that your new favorite chukka boots are marked down by more than $100, and the gettin’ is as good as it’s ever been when it comes to the best footwear to buy now from Huckberry.

For those not in the know quite yet, Rhodes Footwear is the in-house, classically inspired footwear brand from Huckberry — essentially, from moc toe wedge boots to durable chukka boots and even sneaker boots, these shoes pair expertly with other Huckberry-branded favorites, from waxed trucker jackets to expertly faded selvedge denim.

The Rhodes Footwear Work Chukka Boots hail from footwear capital Leon, Mexico, a place that knows a thing or two about expert footwear craftsmanship, while the company’s lightweight Meramec PU outsole delivers rebound and springy comfort, while a leather-lined insole molds to your foot and provides a further dose of comfort.

Available in Taupe and a rich Cognac leather, the Rhodes Footwear Work Chukka Boots pair easygoing good looks with plenty of durability for the low, low price of $125 — you might not find a better deal on the best men’s chukka boots than this pair here, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now These New Astorflex Boat Shoes are an Easygoing Menswear Must-Have this Coming Season

As you bolster your assortment of men’s style essentials and look to a breezy new season up ahead, there are a few orders of business to take care of as you survey the landscape and stow away your winter boots.

Building an ensemble can start in two ways depending on the occasion, at least in my experience: From the breezy layers you’re rocking up top, or else crafting a look with casual, easygoing, prep-meets-modern footwear in mind. Huckberry, of course, has the goods, from an array of crisp leather sneakers to casually cool chukka boots, leather loafers and naturally, the footwear in question today at the top of the page.

Find out more now at Huckberry

And if a pair of the best boat shoes for men happens to be on your mind in these early days of spring, we’ve got just the pair for you to consider ASAP — meet the brand-new Astorflex Dockflex Boat Shoes, yet another pair of remarkably well-crafted, sustainable suede shoes hailing from the family-owned Italian factory that also makes some of your favorite chukka boots, among other prized styles approved by the Huckberry team.

The Astorflex Dockflex Boat Shoes make use of top-quality bovine suede, a change of pace compared to leather boat shoes (and making them more well-suited for the boardwalk than the actual deck of a boat in choppy waters, at least in my humble opinion).

Of course, you could certainly treat the Astorflex Dockflex Boat Shoes with waterproof suede protector, a wise move at any rate — whether you style the Astorflex Dockflex Boat Shoes with tailored swim trunks and a patterned buttondown shirt or with stretch chino shorts and a short-sleeve henley.

The Astorflex Dockflex Boat Shoes are also lined in calf leather for breathability and a fit that molds to your foot over time, while its memory foam insole offers a further shot of comfort and all-day wearability. Plus, the handsome Sand Suede of the Astorflex Dockflex Boat Shoes wears well with everything from olive chinos to rolled light wash denim, while moc toe stitching delivers a stylish touch of contrast across the upper.

Rawhide laces add a more rugged touch, while the wedge outsole is crafted from natural rubber, as with other Astorflex boots and shoes (a lineup Huckberry also sells to great effect, it should be noted!).

With their versatile, grab-and-go sensibility and the chance to style them with everything from swim trunks and a muscle tee to a retro-minded camp collar shirt and linen shorts, there’s nothing quite like the casual-yet-sharp style you’re getting from these stylish men’s boat shoes this summer — the style world is yours for the taking, my friends.

Fabricated from mid-weight cotton denim with a hefty handfeel — almost like a shirt jacket compared to a more lightweight denim shirt — the Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt gets its own 3-year wash treatment that lends softness to this stylish denim shirt, particularly in its Washed Black design (my personal favorite).

Best men's denim shirts to buy now.

The Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt also features notable contrast stitching in a handsome golden thread that’s also double stitched for extra durability, while its barrel cuffs are designed with a vented finish — all the better to roll those cuffs up or flip them back to show off your new favorite watch alongside the dependable and hard-wearing Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt.

Line of Trade denim shirt review

A button pocket adds some character to the Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt, which is just the right length to wear untucked atop a pocket tee or a lightweight henley (or all on its own!), at least in my experience.

And while I’ve worn my new favorite denim shirt with olive chinos as well as dark indigo selvedge denim, the good folks at Bespoke Post say that “whether you’re dressing it up or beating it up, this one’s sure to be your rotation for a good long while.” After test driving this fashionable men’s denim shirt to start this season, I’d certainly have to agree. Layer up and shop (on sale) accordingly, folks.
