See Now, Buy Now: The Huckberry x Timex “Cola” Watch is the Perfect Summer Timepiece

Just as you’ve got your go-to pair of summer sneakers and your lightweight stretch jeans for hot days, so to should you have one of the best men’s watches for summer on your wrist. That’s right: In my book, there are absolutely stylish men’s watches that are practically made to be worn in the summer heat. It’s your lucky day as we dive into our latest See Now, Buy Now entry, because the visually striking new Huckberry x Timex “Cola” Sport Watch is one of the best watches for men to wear starting this summer and moving well beyond that. It’s the go-to pick when it’s too hot to wear a leather watch, which, news flash, is frequently the case in the summer months.

This watch, an exclusive to the good folks at Huckberry, first debuted to great fanfare last year, and for good reason. Again, the fact that you can only get this watch at Huckberry means that competition is steep to add this timepiece to your collection. It very well could claim that lofty spot as your new favorite watch, but the crucial first step is buying it right now. The Huckberry x Timex “Cola” Sport Watch has all the proper bells and whistles you’ve come to expect from extraordinarily durable and yet fairly priced Timex watches, for starters, including that red-and-black design (hence the “cola” name, of course).

This nicely priced men’s watch for summer (it retails for $189 at Huckberry) is entirely unique, designed from scratch by both companies and using military inspiration plus ’70s and ’80s Timex and watch trends. So while Timex has an extensive archive that designers like Todd Snyder frequently use for inspiration (to great effect!), this creation is even more unique, and just as covetable. It features a striking red-and-white military crosshair dial with luminescent markings, along with an aluminum bezel with a sharp red accent. It’s these design touches that help the Huckberry x Timex “Cola” Sport Watch stand out from the pack as far as the best watches for men are concerned.

The dial is also a fitting throwback as far as size is concerned: It’s a nice, sharp 38mm in diameter, making this a watch you can wear with a Huckberry T-shirt and hybrid shorts as readily as you can team it with a classic men’s polo and lightweight summer pants (loafers sold separately). The great news is that the Huckberry x Timex “Cola” Sport Watch is durable enough to wear with those outfits on consecutive days, and you can keep on wearing it all week long if you so please. At a price like that (again, it’s $189 at Huckberry), why wouldn’t you want to make this your go-to summer timepiece? The answer to that question is up to you.

#OOTD: The Best Way to Wear Your Favorite Denim Jacket This Summer

The dog days of summer can present more than a few hurdles as far as wearing your favorite style essentials is concerned. For instance, what if you’ve been feeling like your daily dressing is getting a bit stale? My advice: Shake things up, add a summer-friendly and unexpected layer, and reap the rewards. Enter today’s #OOTD, featuring the best denim jacket for men on the market. How and why is it the best men’s denim jacket? I’m glad you asked, dear reader. It comes to you from the well-appointed digital shelves at Huckberry, and to get even more specific, it’s made by Flint and Tinder. That means it shares the same DNA as the famous Flint and Tinder Trucker Jacket, yet it’s just done up in a lightweight, summer-ready design these days. Think of this ensemble as another take on how to wear a lightweight jacket for summer, because it can definitely be done.

It’s unlined and made from indigo denim, so it should act more like a pair of light wash jeans (on your top half, that is) than the waxed cotton Flint and Tinder trucker jacket. This is a summer alternative to that same jacket, with all the cool style points you need for outdoor festivals, cool summer evenings and round after round of beers at your favorite brewery. It’ll work especially well with the new menswear essentials you’ll find throughout the rest of today’s #OOTD, including cool-as-can-be high-top sneakers, one of the best men’s leather belts, a covetable watch and much more. To keep it simple, the best men’s denim jacket is a proper and nearly perfect way to change up how you dress this summer. The rest of my guide is below – cheers!

  • The Denim Jacket: Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket, $128 — The rich indigo denim and midweight construction come together to make this a rugged denim jacket that wears nice and lightweight, not overly heavy. It’s as cool over an Oxford shirt as it is atop your favorite henley. Speaking of…
  • The Henley: Flint and Tinder Short-Sleeve Slub Henley, $78 — There’s nothing quite like teaming a rugged short-sleeve henley with an equally rugged denim jacket, is there? This Flint and Tinder henley looks great on its own or layered up.

  • The Belt: Billykirk No. 117 Mechanic’s Belt, $105 — No pair of the best chinos for men should go without having one of the best men’s leather belts alongside of it, right? It makes perfect sense, and Billykirk makes the belt you need now.
  • The Socks: Mack Weldon AIRKNITx Ankle Socks, $22 — Don’t overlook your socks just because it’s summer. These ankle socks from the maker of some of the best socks for men will wear very nicely with your classic high-top sneakers.
  • The Sunglasses: Maui Jim Castles Sunglasses, $300 — When your #OOTD revolves around a Flint and Tinder henley and a rugged denim jacket. it’s best to keep your accessories on-point. Luckily, these iconic aviator sunglasses are just what the (style) doctor ordered.

Does this #OOTD have what you need to shake up your summer style? I sure hope it does, because to me, all the proper pieces are there if you want innovative, fun seasonal style. It all starts, of course, with a can’t-miss, perfectly rugged denim jacket that’s just lightweight enough to be worn from day to night. Throw it on casually atop your Flint and Tinder henley, and you’ve got a look that’s ready for all your casual summer pursuits. Next up? A pair of the best men’s chinos under $100, just the right blend of affordability and style. Luckily for all of us, Huckberry and Timex have teamed up on a watch that’ll look great without breaking the bank. too. One of the best men’s leather belts from Billykirk is a must-buy, no matter the situation. And to keep you comfortably on your feet, you should step into a pair of some of the best socks for men before you lace up your Veja high-top sneakers. Top it all off with a pair of classic Maui Jim sunglasses, then grab an heirloom leather bag to haul your daily carry. You’ve just found your new favorite summer ensemble, so be sure to shop accordingly. Stay cool and stay stylish!

Style Pick of the Week: Bonobos Stretch Washed Chino Shorts

It’s more than high time that you picked up a pair of the best chino shorts for men this summer, is it not? I’ll say, and that’s why we’re diving into the truly stellar Bonobos Stretch Washed Chino Shorts today on the blog. You surely know and love NYC-based Bonobos if you read the blog (at least, I hope that’s the case). They’re a brand that now does a little bit of everything as far as the best men’s style essentials are concerned, from one of the best jackets for men to an ideal pair of pants to wear to work from home (and beyond). Pay close attention to that last pick, because it’s menswear for your bottom half where Bonobos really excels.

The company launched in 2007 with a focus on some of the coolest men’s chinos, revolutionizing fit and fabric for guys everywhere. And helpfully, they’ve done the same thing with your new favorite pair of shorts. The Bonobos Stretch Washed Chino Shorts truly check every single box imaginable when it comes to an all-day, everyday set of shorts, and I’m not just saying that. For starters, Bonobos bills these as having the “same great fit of our chinos,” and that’s a great place to kick things off.

SHOP: The Bonobos Stretch Washed Chino Shorts

Fit is certainly a crucial ingredient, and it only follows that you really can find the best-fitting pair of shorts for your lifestyle. The Bonobos Stretch Washed Chino Shorts come in three inseam lengths: An on-trend 5-inch inseam, an easily wearable 7-inch inseam and a classic 9-inch inseam (taller guys should like opt for the 7-inch or 9-inch pair, but the world is your oyster). You can also take your pick between Standard, Slim and Athletic fits, too. There are also waist sizes available up to size 40 at the moment. The fabric is a blend of cotton and stretch cotton twill, and things only get better from there. The Bonobos Stretch Washed Chino Shorts retail for an agreeable $79, so you can pick up a couple pairs. Why pick up more than one pair? Well, they come in a whopping 15 colors, and that versatility absolutely makes them some of the best shorts for men.

And because the design is both comfortable (thanks to the stretch) and modern (thanks to the relatively tailored fit), you can wear these stylish chino shorts with everything from a Bonobos polo to a stylish printed short-sleeve shirt (ideally also from Bonobos). You’re going to have a tough time finding shorts with so many customization options, from fit to color, at an agreeable price. In my book, that makes the Bonobos Stretch Washed Chino Shorts your next must-buy summer style essential. How about it?

The Friday Read: Mack Weldon’s New Gear, The Tie Bar’s Semi-Annual Sale & The Best Sub-$200 Watches

Mack Weldon | Reinventing Men's Basics

Stepping into the weekend with a one-stop shop in mind for your favorite menswear just got a bit easier – at least, it looks that way to me when I check out the Mack Weldon Daily Wear System. Coming from a retailer as excellent as Mack Weldon, it’s a perfect system to consider as we kick off another Friday Read. You see, be it the brand’s excellent boxer briefs, comfortable socks, efficient and performance-minded buttondown shirts or the Mack Weldon Tech Chinos that we talked about earlier this week, the NYC-based brand really is one that can help you do it all. Consider this a recommendation or an endorsement to get your weekend rolling the right way. If you haven’t yet checked out Mack Weldon, now is the perfect time. And as to some other recommendations for the weekend? Well, I’m glad you asked.

HELM Boots

I’m closing out a busy week after an upstate trip with Laphroaig Scotch, so I’m looking forward to catching up on reading and relaxing myself (but not too much – keep on reading!). The trip was a chance to test the brand’s latest offerings, and it was an homage to the fact that the famed distillery hosts a fly fishing festival every year in Scotland. From Tuesday’s “staycation” at the Arlo Midtown to a fly-fishing demo Wednesday morning and a lovely stay at the incredible Hutton Brickyards in Kingston, NY, it was a seriously unique trip the likes of which I’ve never been on. Although I wasn’t all that great at the tricky sport of fly fishing, I really enjoyed myself nonetheless!

HELM Boots

I’ve got another trip coming up sooner than you might think, as well — I’m hitting the road tomorrow for a one-night getaway to try out what should be an excellent bar and hotel combination, the Riggs Hotel Washington, D.C., which is properly reopening after a year and change of the pandemic. Go ahead and give me a follow on Instagram to keep up with the latest and greatest! And in the meantime, the rest of today’s Friday Read is yours for the taking. Cheers, my friends!

Restock Your Whole Wardrobe Via The Tie Bar's Semi-Annual Sale - InsideHook
  • Need a new dress shirt or tie as you head back to the office? Well, I’ve got just the solution for you. The Tie Bar’s Semi-Annual Sale is stocking and selling the best men’s dress shirts, ties and accessories for a return to the office and summer weddings aplenty, and they’re giving you discounts of up to 50 percent off all the while. Sounds like an ideal chance to stock up ASAP.
  • Here’s another reading recommendation for you this weekend. Summer brings with it plenty of opportunities to camp and explore the great outdoors. With that being said, you should certainly keep in mind the fact that you’re going to need a dependable jacket for all those pursuits on and off the trail. Head to The Manual to check out my guide to the best cheap North Face jacket deals this season. Good luck out there, folks.
  • I’ve been a fan of the excellent men’s lifestyle site Primer Magazine since 2012. The site covers everything a guy need to get dressed on the daily, live a fulfilling life, shop in style and decorate your apartment, and that’s why it was such a pleasure to cover the best men’s watches under $200. Give it a read and let me know what you think in the comments below.

That’ll wrap up today’s rather quick-hit Friday Read. Want something else to kick off your weekend with energy and spirit in mind? Head over to my twice-weekly newsletter, The Style Guide In Brief — a play off the title of this blog! — where I talk about my favorite new (and old) music, menswear, craft beer and more. If you like indie rock and indie pop, with the classics thrown in, then this is the right way to go (in my humble opinion!). Enjoy the weekend, stay safe and shop & read with style in mind, my friends!

The Thursday Buy: These FRYE Slip-Ons are the Perfect Summer Sneakers

Is it possible to find a pair of the best summer sneakers that are at once casual and yet surprisingly refined? It might sound too good to be true, but believe it or not, that’s what FRYE has managed to do with the FRYE Astor Slip Ons. These slip-on shoes check all the right boxes in what you need from an easy-wearing, equally easygoing set of kicks for the season. Let’s start with the basics first, though. FRYE has a long-running heritage of careful craftsmanship and rock-solid quality across its entire line of men’s shoes and accessories. It’s got to be the brand’s made-in-America origins (they’ve even got an entire USA-made line), but any way you look at it, FRYE delivers time and again. The FRYE Astor Slip Ons are no exceptional to the rule. If you’ve previously tried out more casual slip-ons, like the VANS Classic Slip-ons, you should know that these are cut from a different cloth (or rather, a different material entirely). They’re almost like a pair of dress sneakers, yet you get the relaxed comfort of a slip-on shoe.

SHOP: The FRYE Astor Slip Ons

The difference is in the details with FRYE, and they’ve really nailed all the details you need in a casual slip-on shoe, with an added dash of refinement thrown in. You see, the FRYE Astor Slip Ons are made with burnished, vegetable-tanned leather, unlike other slip-on shoes that are made from canvas. This makes them ever-so-slightly easier to dress up with slim chinos and a navy sweater-polo, for instance (head to Todd Snyder to get yours). And yet, it’s that easy-to-slide-on design that keeps them squarely in the middle of your dressy-to-casual summer footwear rotation. The waffle rubber outsole provides solid traction on the city or out in the country for a weekend trip.

Visit Todd Snyder New York

And the fully lined leather footbed offers up plenty of springy, all-day comfort. Through it all, the FRYE Astor Slip Ons are going to wear and age gracefully, not unlike a pair of rugged FRYE leather boots. You’re investing more in the FRYE Astor Slip Ons than you might another pair of more traditional slip-ons, but you’ll also have them for longer, and they’ll offer up either office-ready style (remember that Todd Snyder sweater-polo) or weekend-ready versatility (with an American-made T-shirt and chino shorts). Helpfully, the FRYE Astor Slip Ons defy convention and go above and beyond your typical seasonal slip-ons. Sounds like a new must-buy for the season to me.

See Now, Buy Now: This Filson Twill Duffle Is Your New Summer Getaway Bag

Who else is getting the urge to hit the road this summer, perhaps with the Filson Rugged Medium Twill Duffle in tow? I’m right there with you, and we’ll talk about how to gear up properly today. As you might know if you read the blog, there’s one place to go if you want one of the best duffle bags for a weekend getaway — or any trip at all this summer — and that’s Filson. They’ve got plenty of your bases covered in every way imaginable, right on down to the lightweight short-sleeve shirt you should pack in said bag. In short, if it’s the best new men’s gear for summer you seek, Filson has you covered — and of course, that’s a serious understatement.

We sure do love the Pacific Northwest heritage outfitter here on the blog, and again, that’s also an understatement. What exactly makes the Filson Rugged Medium Twill Duffle so essential? I’m glad you asked. You didn’t expect a brand that’s been around for more than a century to cut corners in matters of accessories and everyday carry essentials, did you? And the Filson Rugged Medium Twill Duffle really is packed with the proper bells and whistles to get you from point A to point B with durable style in mind.

SHOP: The Filson Rugged Medium Twill Duffle

It all starts from the ground up with the type of durable fabric that only the trained folks at Filson can craft. It’s the brand’s famed Rugged Twill, which is naturally tough and abrasion-resistant. Leave the carry-on luggage when you head out on a cabin or lodge getaway, and instead load up one of the best duffle bags, because this one in particular is suited to harsher conditions. Bridle Leather straps and accents, plus real brass hardware, reinforce this tough-as-nails getaway bag even further. As the brand notes, the Filson Rugged Medium Twill Duffle fits carry-on requirements for when you get back to flying, too.

You’ve also got your pick between three eye-catching colors, including the handsome Hemlock option seen at the top of the page. Think of this one like the ideal casual getaway bag, one that’ll look less formal than a leather briefcase as you travel wearing, say, Filson men’s jeans. It’s got everything you need in one of the best men’s weekender bags, to sum it up, but you’ve really got to try out this durable getaway bag for yourself. Last but not least, the Rugged Twill fabric just so happens to be water-resistant. A carry-on and weekend-ready bag that can stand up to the elements? Sounds like just what you need this summer. Start planning your trip right now.

The Tuesday Steal: These Mack Weldon Tech Chinos are the Perfect Pants to Wear Back to the Office

Notice anything about today’s post? Welcome to the Tuesday Steal, a new category here at The Style Guide that might occasionally replace our regular, long-running Tuesday #OOTD series. In the interest of getting right into it, the scoop here is that the Tuesday Steal gives you a menswear essential, like the best pants to wear back to the office, at a solid price. That’s the name of the game with Mack Weldon, and they’re a brand that’s only getting bigger and better. Now, you likely know Mack Weldon as the makers of some of the best basics for men, including the best men’s boxer briefs and the best men’s T-shirt, not to mention some of the best men’s shorts. But the Mack Weldon Maverick Tech Chinos are in a class all by themselves as far as the best men’s pants for summer (and beyond) are concerned, and that’s not just hyperbole. And because they retail for $128, they’re the type of pants primed for plenty of wear as you get the most bang for your buck.

HELM Boots

Crucially, they’re part of the new Mack Weldon Daily Wear System, which shows you how to mix and match all of your surprisingly affordable style staples from the direct-to-consumer brand. DTC brands, which cut out the middle man, like a department store, have gained quite a bit of traction in recent years for offering lower prices, solid discounts and quality products, like the *drumroll please* Mack Weldon Maverick Tech Chinos.

SHOP: The Mack Weldon Maverick Tech Chinos

The specs on the Mack Weldon Maverick Chinos are important, and critical for any item to take its place as the rightful owner of the Tuesday Steal. They’re made with spill and stain-resistant, four-way stretch fabric, for plenty of comfort in your cubicle and even back out on the road for seasons to come. That lightweight stretch fabric is also going to prove mighty handy as you navigate the summer heat. They even feature an incredible seven pockets and a flexible fly. Wear them with Mack Weldon shirts and Mack Weldon boxer briefs as often as you can this season, and beyond that. The rest of your Tuesday awaits, so go forth with the knowledge you’ve gained from the Tuesday Steal. Happy shopping!

See Now, Buy Now: This Bonobos Performance Polo is a New Men’s Style Essential

If there’s a better time to wear a polo than right now, I have yet to discover it, and that’s why it’s critical you reach for one of the best polos for men this season. Just as with the rest of your wardrobe in the sweltering days of summer, pieces that really go above and beyond are the only thing that’ll do for a well-curated wardrobe, and that’s why we’re here today with a special Monday edition of our See Now, Buy Now series. In times like these, well, that’s when you should turn towards one of your favorite brands: The one and only Bonobos, makers of plenty of wardrobe staples. And about your new favorite polo? I’m glad you asked.

The Bonobos Jetsetter Performance Polo is undoubtedly the star of the show today, made with every bit as much attention to detail and quality as your favorite pair of Bonobos men’s chinos. It only makes sense that the brand, a longtime favorite of mine, would rapidly move beyond making some of the best pants for men. And you’re in luck with Bonobos men’s polos, because these surprisingly easygoing, versatile and sharp shirts are wearable with Bonobos chinos, Bonobos shorts and much more. Don’t believe me? Keep on scrolling.

SHOP: The Bonobos Jetsetter Performance Polo

The thing that separates the Bonobos Jetsetter Performance Polo from other polo shirts in your rotation is the fabric blend, first and foremost. It’s made with a super-soft pima cotton blended with Drytex® Acrylic for a smooth feel and sleek look. It’s certainly a dressy polo, the kind made to be worn with tailored chinos or crisp chino shorts in equal measure. Add sleek leather loafers or your favorite pair of white sneakers, and your look is nearly complete (the Shop By The Style Guide has plenty of other picks to sort out your next #OOTD). But back to the Bonobos Jetsetter Performance Polo.

Seven color options, including vibrant Lake Blue and breezy Fresh Mint, separate the Bonobos Jetsetter Performance Polo from the pack even further, if you can believe it. It’s the kind of versatility you’d expect from Bonobos, with a fair price tag (the Bonobos Jetsetter Performance Polo retails for just $69) to match. You can — and should — peruse the Bonobos Sale section for other pick-ups, but it’s worth investing in the Bonobos Jetsetter Performance Polo at full price, too. The next time you want to look polished while staying cool and dry in the heat, reach for a performance polo from Bonobos — it’ll perform every bit as handily as the brand’s famed chinos, and that’s a fact.
