See Now, Buy Now: These Quoddy Camp Shoes are a Laidback Summer Footwear Classic

It’s like we’ve so often talked about here on this Brooklyn style blog: A guy’s footwear rotation, especially during the breezy and hot summer months, needs options, and that runs the gamut from refined leather dress shoes to crisp canvas sneakers and of course, something a bit in between. Naturally, this is where our friends at Huckberry can prove most helpful, as you’re about to find out.

Shop summer style classics at Huckberry

In my neck of the woods, a classic twist on the boat shoe or the leather moccasin might perfectly fit the bill for an in-between sort of shoe: Able to be dressed up slightly with tan chinos and an Oxford shirt, able to be dressed down with a pocket tee and chino shorts, and able to exude leisurely, casually cool style from BBQs to bonfires and lakeside getaways.

And if that pair is made with heritage quality and classic craftsmanship in mind, that’s all the better: My friends, let’s dive into the latest at Huckberry with the Quoddy Canoe Shoes, a twist on the moccasin and the loafer that manages to check all the right boxes this season.

Somewhere between a boat shoe and a leather loafer, the Quoddy Canoe Shoes boast a camp-style wedge outsole, part of a series of features Huckberry calls the “paragon of durability and design,” with New England heritage to match (Quoddy has been making favorites like the handsome Quoddy Canoe Shoes for decades now, after all).

Best boat shoes for men.

Rich pull-up leather meets contrast moccasin stitching atop that wedge Vibram outsole for rebound and comfort — unlike some more thinly constructed pairs of boat shoes, the ruggedly elegant Quoddy Canoe Shoes should prove plenty easy to wear all day long.

Rawhide laces give them a dash of heritage appeal, while even the lacquered eyelets on the Quoddy Canoe Shoes are built to resist rust. Every stitch is crafted with long-running heritage and history behind it, making for an utterly classic pair of versatile men’s leather boat shoes for the season at hand — trust in the best of the best with the wildly easy-to-wear appeal of your new favorite leather boat shoes.

One way to beat the heat in style? A handsome tailored option like the Proof Nomad Blazer as sold by our friends at Huckberry, one built with style, comfort and travel-ready good looks in mind.

Especially as someone who hits the road frequently, traveling light is of the essence — sometimes, you simply don’t have enough room to pack up your blazer, and sometimes, duty calls (or at least, dinner and drinks) as soon as you touch down.

At the same time, the Proof Nomad Blazer boasts a remarkably high level of performance, using wrinkle-resistant recycled polyester and polyester fabric in a blend that also resists spills (it’s even finished with a DWR coating for easy wear on the go in blustery weather).

The best part about the Proof Nomad Blazer might be the fact that it’s packed with travel-friendly pockets, including interior hip mesh pockets, two zip pockets, a stash pocket and a chest pocket.

Style Pick of the Week: Relwen Highland Blues Short-Sleeve Shirt -A New Weekend Essential from Huckberry

Best men's short-sleeve shirts.

Even on the most casual, leisurely summer weekends, it’s nice to have a toolbox of stylish, versatile options at your disposal as far as men’s style essentials are concerned. So it goes with selecting just the right stylish buttondown shirt from a crop of the best short-sleeve shirts for men, which prove more polished than a classic pocket tee and (at times) a touch more rugged than a polo shirt.

And that brings us to the short-sleeve shirt you just might find yourself wearing all summer long, a shirt that hails from Huckberry and Ohio-based Relwen — as one might expect when scouring the market for the best online brands for men.

Relwen reviews certainly tell us that the brand harnesses a penchant for classic style in silhouettes both modern and old-school-inspired, and a retro-tinged short-sleeve shirt with Oxford shirt detailing certainly fits the bill nicely, does it not?

Yes indeed, the cleverly designed, expertly fabricated Relwen Highlands Short-Sleeve Shirt adds plenty to your style rotation, what with its rugged good looks and dashing details. As our friends at Huckberry helpfully note — and as I can confirm with my own personal experience wearing the brand — “Relwen’s shirts are tried-and-true closet staples,” and that holds true with this handsome, essential short-sleeve shirt.

Available in tried-and-true Dark Indigo as well as a fresh and breezy blue-and-white gingham-style check, the Relwen Highlands Short-Sleeve Shirt comes in either more substantial yarn-dyed cotton slub fabric (option #1) or a breezier 100 percent cotton poplin build (option #2).

The styling potential of the Relwen Highlands Short-Sleeve Shirt, with its buttondown collar and classic chest pocket, remains the same, as wearable with black denim (in the case of the indigo option) or chino shorts as with breezy tobacco-hued linen trousers and leather loafers.

The Relwen Highlands Short-Sleeve Shirt also features elevated touches like Mother of Pearl buttons, a small detail that makes a big diference. With its rounded hem, your new favorite short-sleeve summer shirt is made for wearing untucked all weekend long and all summer long, no doubt about it.

Go preppy with its blue-and-white check style, or more rugged with blue indigo — the laidback-yet-polished vibe of the Relwen Highlands Short-Sleeve Shirt is a surefire summer style winner, starting this weekend.

The Thursday Buy: This Buck Mason Pocket Tee is an Elevated Take on a True Classic

Buck Mason T-shirt review.

In my experience, it’s a special thing to be able to lean on a certain men’s style essential whenever you need it, whenever the occasion calls for it. In my book, especially in the heat of summer, a well-designed, well-made T-shirt is a must for laidback lounging, for Brooklyn brewery outings and backyard grilling, even for layering underneath a soft-shouldered blazer.

So when you (and I) find a stylish T-shirt that rises above the ordinary — heady words, but it’s true — it’s worth going all-in and upgrading your basics drawer. Of course, if you’ve read this Brooklyn style blog over the years, you know that Buck Mason are experts when it comes to making some of the best T-shirts for men. That certainly holds true across its entire lineup, from curved hem pima cotton tees to thick Field-Spec cotton T-shirts, plus stylish men’s henleys aplenty.

Yes, at Buck Mason, even the classics like a humble pocket T-shirt get an elevated, refreshed upgrade: Take the Buck Mason Vintage Jacquard Pocket T-shirt, which reimagines the trusty T-shirt as something eye-catching and made to be worn all on its own (or perhaps beneath a lightweight blazer, yes?).

The Buck Mason Vintage Jacquard Pocket T-shirt gets the details right in every way possible, using a substantial yet still lightweight midweight cotton that they’ve then rounded out with contrast jacquard stripe stitching.

It’s a handsome treatment that gives this T-shirt an air of refinement, believe it or not, and the Buck Mason Vintage Jacquard Pocket T-shirt is one you should feel as comfortable wearing with the Buck Mason Carry-On Suit as with Buck Mason Deck Shorts, for instance.

In the brand’s classic range of earthy colors and tailored, stylish fits, it’s a winner for when you want the casual nature of a T-shirt, blended with the elevated look of a subtle pattern. How can it get any better than that as far as the best men’s summer style is concerned, my friends?

Best men's sneakers for summer.

When you think of slip-on sneakers, what’s the first style or thought that springs to mind? Perhaps you consider the laidback nature of canvas slip-ons, the type you’d wear kickin’ around the boardwalk, or perhaps at a backyard BBQ. Or perhaps you think of something with a touch more refinement, like the Todd Snyder Tuscan Leather Slip-On Sneakers shown above?

The second option is definitely more uncommon in the world of the best men’s sneakers, but make no mistake, you can trust Todd Snyder and Todd Snyder footwear to deliver an elevated yet thoughtful take on a classic.

Let’s dive in, shall we?

The Todd Snyder Tuscan Leather Slip-On Sneakers came about because, as the brand itself says, its namesake designer was “looking for something casual but cool that would be easy to slip on and off,” and thus, these handsome leather slip-on sneakers sprang to life.

With a streamlined suede leather upper and a sporty yet casual, refined yet easygoing silhouette, they check all the right boxes when you want something sharp and fashionable besides lace-up leather dress shoes or loafers.

They’re also made for comfort when worn to summer BBQs and all-day outdoor affairs — a cork footbed molds to your foot over time, and the EVA midsole delivers rebound and cushioning.
