First things first: As we move into August, we’re going to keep emphasizing the sort of “any-season” men’s style essentials that’ll put in just as much work now as they will come September and October. That goes, of course, for a great pint of beer — that’s never out of season. Hence, the new Huckberry x Mikkeller collaboration highlighted above and, well, down below. Let’s get to the best menswear essentials out there — bottoms up.

The fine folks at Flint and Tinder continue to deliver the goods in terms of standout style. This rugged, edgy and versatile Bone Button Western Shirt is going to take you through August into September with ease.
Huckberry x Mikeller Blue Hour — $15/4-Pack
Here’s the brew you first saw at the top of the page — but there’s a catch. This amazing-looking Huckberry x Mikeller Blue Hour Gose is only available in California … BUT, the rest of the Huckberry x Mikeller Collection, including stylish koozies and art, can be had via Huckberry NOW.
Timex MK1 Aluminum Chronograph Watch — $99
A tough NATO strap watch is the versatile, stylish casual timepiece you need now — wear it with a slub white tee and navy chino shorts, then keep it on your wrist to team with indigo denim and a grey crewneck sweater later this year.

Can’t beat classic navy chinos in a tailored fit.
Slim navy chinos, particularly the ones shown from Mollusk Surf Shop, are going to be a go-to now with a white Oxford and suede chukka boots, and then they’re going to work equally well with a grey cardigan later this year.
