As we shift gears from spring and its blustery climes to the high heat of summer, I’ve got one thing on my mind, and perhaps you do as well: Kitting out my next summer #OOTD with some of the best men’s gear, accessories included.

For as vital as it is to find one of the best short-sleeve henleys or some of the best shorts for men, what you’re carrying with you in terms of daily gear is just as important. This, my friends, is where some of the best sunglasses for men come into play, and that’s where — in my experience — Huckberry can seriously help you out.

The San Francisco and Austin-based retailer has an expert eye for what stylish guys want, and that extends from its fall and winter lineup through to the best spring and summer menswear. And without further ado, yes, Huckberry is the place to go to score the American Optical Original Pilot Sunglasses, as iconic a pair of sunglasses as you’re apt to find these days.

They simply don’t make ’em like the American Optical Original Pilot Sunglasses, and by that, I mean these are USA-made men’s sunglasses through and through. The brand’s scratch-resistant hardcoat lenses offer 100% UVA/UVB protection, so the specs are certainly on point, but it’s the classic pilot’s shape and rugged-yet-refined appeal that give these stylish men’s sunglasses some staying power.

The square aviator from American Optical dates back to the 1950s, so the American Optical Original Pilot Sunglasses certainly have pedigree and longevity (plus, timeless style points).

To this day, your new favorite sunglasses still meet military specifications, all the while clocking in at under $300 — a more than fair price for some of the best sunglasses for men on the market. In my personal experience, American Optical delivers, and if you score this pair now, you’ll find that out all summer long.

When you think of the style essentials you trust every single day, especially in the spring and summer months, what comes to mind? Maybe it’s rugged pull-on boots, maybe it’s some prime summer sneakers in canvas, or else maybe it’s a casually cool pair of stylish shorts.

A man’s wardrobe rotation needs a bit of everything though, including reliable workhorses — that’s where some of the best jeans for men can help you out.

Yes, even as spring inches toward summer, a pair of the best light wash jeans can prove essential — an ideal move on cooler days and nights, as suited for cabin bonfires as days in the yard or nights at a brewery patio. And the right pair of the best light wash jeans pulls double-duty with T-shirts, with henleys, with Oxford shirting or with an indigo hoodie.

And today, that pair of jeans just so happens to be the Flint and Tinder Everyday Stretch Jeans. The even better news, my friends? Your new favorite pair of summer jeans are now 20 percent off via Huckberry, and that’s a deal worth scoring right now.

Available in either Slim or Straight fits, plus plenty of sizes as of the time of this writing, they’re a durable, stylish essential made all the better thanks to that discount.

Four-way stretch, hardware detailing like a YKK zipper and of course, that spring and summer-friendly light wash make this pair of denim a must-have for your seasonal rotation. As soon as you can get your hands on ’em, you’ll want to wear ’em — no questions asked.

If you’ve kept up with the pages of this blog over the years, you’ll know that I trust a mix of both rugged and refined menswear essentials to carry me through my days. And as with your own daily schedule, what life tends to send my way entails a bit of everything: Blustery days in Brooklyn, rooftop drinks in Manhattan, trips far afield on windswept coasts as part of my many freelance writing pursuits.

When I find picks that tend to hit the mark for all those pursuits, especially exploring a new city wearing a trusted field jacket, as seen above, I tend to circle back around to that brand time and again. That can be said for a personal mainstay like Huckberry or another West Coast stalwart, like Anatoly & Sons.

They make the stylish newsboy cap seen at the top of the page, as well as classic driving caps for men, but they’re so much more than that.

I’ve had the chance to dive into the brand across these past several months, putting together guides for the Oakland menswear atelier on topics as varied as how to travel in style and of course, how to wear a flat cap.

The traditional style has experienced a resurgence in recent years, thanks in part to shows like “Peaky Blinders,” not to mention retailers like Anatoly & Sons, who suggest wearing the flat cap with everything from a denim field coat to a handsome blazer.

And of course, the retailer sells all of the above and more, with a focus on classic tailoring, elegant and versatile dress and sport shirts, field coats, crisply cut trousers and stylish accessories to match.

In fact, on a recent trip to Ireland (and England, and Germany), I wore my Anatoly & Sons newsboy cap with a Huckberry waxed field jacket to visit — among other locales — the Cliffs of Moher and Germany’s Black Forest. It proved crucial for keeping the sun (and eventually, rain and wind) off my face, and it proved a rugged yet versatile complement alongside thick sweaters and chambray shirting.

As for your own stylish pursuits on the road, a driving cap from Anatoly & Sons, or a durable newsboy cap, could be a stylish change of pace from a classic ballcap this spring, summer and beyond. You can expect to hear much more about this brand — its assortment of iconic menswear, from hats to tailoring — in the months ahead, but for now, head to Anatoly & Sons to discover your new favorite hat.
