See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch Wharf Pants Are the Rugged Summer Pants to Buy Now

Best men's pants for summer from Taylor Stitch.

What’s a guy to do when he wants the right blend of rugged dependability and yet style that works easily back on dry land and perhaps, on the water or even on the trail? Why, turn towards a brand that can help you meet all three of those aims quite easily (especially given that it’s Memorial Day and the official start of an anything-goes summer). The brand in question is Taylor Stitch, and the Taylor Stitch Wharf Pants are the most rugged pants you can buy this summer — whatever’s on your bucket list.

That might seem overly simple on the surface, but they perfectly merge the sort of timeless style, classic looks and reliable performance you tend to need when zipping around town or taking on summer’s adventures (a day hike and brewery beers — and bonfire building) very much included.

The key is the use of durable 100 percent cotton in these stylish men’s pants, especially in a 12oz. weight. That weight should prove somewhat lightweight on temperate days, but best suited to breezy days and nights on or near the water.

In fact, the aptly named Taylor Stitch Wharf Pants are made from some of the toughest stuff around: Selvage boat canvas, which you might more accurately call “the good stuff.” They’ll break in as time goes on to become as soft as your favorite Taylor Stitch chinos, but for now, think of them like a hybrid between casual summer pants, work pants and road-ready adventure pants.

The leather back patch amps up the style details accordingly, while you can always cuff or roll ’em to your heart’s content, all thanks to the 34-inch inseam. When you want a pair of the best men’s pants geared towards doing just about anything you can dream up this summer, you want the Taylor Stitch Wharf Pants — that’s just a fact.

Best men's summer polo.

When it comes to your rotation of summer style essentials, the classics really are quite simply, the very best sometimes.

The Thursday Buy: Amberjack Chelsea Boots Are the Most Comfortable Boots To Buy Now

Most comfortable Chelsea boots for men.

Do you ever feel in need of a style shake-up at times — a new take on a tried-and-true classic, or else for example, perhaps just… a mighty fine pair of the most comfortable Chelsea boots on the planet? In that case, meet Amberjack, makers of some of the best Chelsea boots and the best men’s dress shoes on the planet — all made with wildly comfortable technology to give you some lightweight spring in your step.

Unfamiliar with Amberjack as of yet, or with the Amberjack Chelsea Boots? Fear not, because we’ll give you a style crash course in good time. Amberjack boots and dress shoes blend the experience of its entire team at brands like Cole Haan and Allen Edmonds to make what you might call a better dress shoe (and yes, perhaps some of the best Chelsea boots for men on the market), using sustainably certified leather and Portuguese craftsmanship to deliver stylish boots and shoes that are a cut above the rest — I should know, I’ve tried ’em myself.

Best casual dress shoes for men.

With Amberjack, things are both simple and subtle yet technologically advanced. The brand offers just two styles of shoe right now — crisp Oxford dress shoes and stylish leather Chelsea boots, my personal favorite. Take your pick from four versatile, rich leather or suede colorways among the Amberjack Chelsea Boots, and then be amazed at the light and airy yet durable construction they’re delivering.

The key is the dual-density TPU outsole for incredible cushioning, plus a memory foam, heat-activated arch support design — the technical specs are more than up to snuff with the Amberjack Chelsea Boots, to say the least.

Better still is the fact that the Amberjack Chelsea Boots feature soft sheepskin lining, so no break-in time is needed out of the box — seriously, no break-in time at all. The profile on the Amberjack Chelsea Boots is slim and sleek enough to wear with your favorite chinos or even with dress trousers, but these are also highly stylish Chelsea boots you can wear with jeans.

Satchel and Page

The hits keep coming, too: The Amberjack Chelsea Boots retail for the agreeable price of $195, while its hybrid, sneaker-like dress shoes will set you back just $179. At those prices, it’s more than worth getting accustomed to the style, versatility and affordability of the modern footwear being offered up by Amberjack — shop accordingly, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: The Forty Five Slub Pocket Tee is the Best Casual Summer Tee

Oftentimes, the best menswear essentials are actually the most seemingly simple and effortlessly versatile — like one of the best men’s T-shirts, for instance. The T-shirt was once only an undergarment, but those days are long gone — these days, a well-fitting T-shirt can stand out quietly on its own when paired with other top menswear moves (think of the classic jeans-and-a-T-shirt combination, after all). And that brings us to today’s subtly stylish, well-made pick: The Forty Five Slub Pocket Tee, one of the best T-shirts for men of the moment.

The idea behind the Forty-Five line of T-shirts at Huckberry is simple enough: Each tee is designed to be perfectly well-made to stand on its own, much like the power behind the 45 RPM, or 7-inch, record. One perfect song translates to one perfect T-shirt, does it not? Luckily, you’ll certainly find one of the best men’s casual tees within the digital confines of San Fran and Austin-based Huckberry, and this one starts with slub cotton fabric for a textured look and feel.

Better still is the fact that it’s priced at just $35 (or three for $95), making it a terrific style move and an affordable menswear pick-up. Sounds too good to pass up, right? So go on then, get the Forty-Five Slub Cotton Tee from Huckberry right now in as many colors as you can.

The Tuesday Steal: Save Nearly 30 Percent on This Summer-Ready Todd Snyder x Timex Watch

Best affordable watch for men.

From time to time, the best accessories (especially the best watches for men) stand out quietly and subtly, looking a lot more expensive than they are in reality. And no one seems to know this better than Todd Snyder, one of the best American menswear designers and but one part of the equation behind the excellent, ongoing Todd Snyder x Timex partnership. That partnership has yielded some of the coolest, most affordable men’s watches over time, from durable military watches to the dynamic, stylish stainless steel watch you see above. The best part of all? The Q Timex x Todd Snyder Watch is nearly 30 percent off right now.

That makes it as worthy of our Tuesday Steal spot as any in my book, especially given the sporty appeal of a dressy yet rugged and still casual stainless steel watch for summer. The throwback-oriented dial and 38mm case design of this stylish men’s watch are all callbacks to the smaller timepieces of yesteryear, while the quartz technology also throws it back to the 1970s — when quartz watches first came into vogue.

The important thing to know is that this watch wears well with everything from your favorite summer blazer and light wash jeans to the best USA-made T-shirt and stretch chino shorts. Shop accordingly now — hop to it!

Best casual shorts for men.

And yet, I’m here to tell you that it’s always worth diving back in one more time when you come across a style move that shifts your expectations ever so slightly. In the case of today’s standout style pick, that switch-up comes at you courtesy of Huckberry, and via a brand you know and love, at that.

That’d be Flint and Tinder, and to get even more specific, the Flint and Tinder 365 Cotton-Linen Shorts take a tried-and-true silhouette and shake it up quite nicely.

How exactly is it possible to shake up the Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts? Well, remember that this set of the best shorts for men starts with a classic 7-inch inseam, yet uses the same fabric typically found in the brand’s Flint and Tinder 365 Pants (those are among Huckberry’s Bestsellers, my friends).

Here’s the kicker: The Flint and Tinder 365 Cotton-Linen Shorts swap in a soft, breezy and supremely comfortable blend of cotton and linen, not to mention some suitably dusty and visually interesting colors, all the better to wear with the rest of your favorite summer style essentials. Certainly, you can now add the Flint and Tinder 365 Cotton-Linen Shorts to that list. Happy shopping, my friends!
