See Now, Buy Now: These Wellen Corduroy Shorts are an Easygoing Summer Style Move

I’m willing to bet you’ve got more than your fair share of stylish summer shorts in your rotation already, right? But what about reconsidering your wardrobe ever so slightly, especially in pursuit of a pair of shorts that swerves from the ordinary?

Yes indeed, while it’s worthwhile to keep the classics well-stocked, like a pair of the best chino shorts for men, there’s something to be said for switching up from time to time. Take the Wellen Corduroy Easy Shorts, which harken back to corduroy shorts of the 1970s, yet in a way that’s tasteful and modern.

If you’ve never tried corduroy shorts, there’s no time like the present — these are also affordably priced via Huckberry at under $100, but that’s far from the only thing they’ve got going for ’em.

The Wellen Corduroy Easy Shorts were dreamed up by the design team at Huckberry, as Wellen is the famed retailer’s approach to breezy, sustainable and surf-inspired menswear. They’re made from 100 percent cotton with that characteristic corduroy texture, and the Wellen Corduroy Easy Shorts have also been garment-dyed for softness right out of the box.

Two color options — Mushroom and Dark Sage — are also a nice stylistic change of pace in terms of color (pair up these stylish corduroy shorts with everything from a heather grey pocket tee to your favorite henley on breezy days).

And to make things even easier — and more easygoing, at that — the Wellen Corduroy Easy Shorts are sized from XS to XXL, complete with an elastic drawstring waist.

The Friday Read: The Best Faherty Menswear, A New Tag Heuer Watch & Your New Summer Pants

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines as we race into another fine summer weekend. I’m back in Brooklyn after what proved to be a momentous Memorial Day back in the Midwest — Indiana, to be more specific, for the one and only Indianapolis 500 with Tag Heuer. And what a weekend it was! Astonishing and memorable doesn’t begin to cover it.

Shop the best men’s watches at Tag Heuer

The trip was part of my many freelance writing pursuits, which includes covering new watches from Tag Heuer (and plenty more, as you know if you follow me on Instagram!). For the time being, I’m back in Brooklyn and looking forward to a touch of downtime this weekend as I work on stories for Maxim.com (among other outlets, of course!).

The Thursday Buy: The Filson Oil Cloth Tin Duffle Is an Investment-Worthy Summer Getaway Bag

Hitting the road this summer and in search of one of the best duffle bags for men? I know I sure am, and I’d wager you’re not the only one. Before we can both pack up to hit the road, it’s worth taking stock of what exactly you’re bringing with you. Or rather, it’s worth taking stock of the rugged duffle bag you’re packing up.

Fear not: If you’ve not quite got the proper bag to meet the moment, then you’ll like what’s in store today. In my experience, one of the best duffle bags for men can start your trip off on the proper foot even before you hit the road. After all, if the bag you’re hauling doesn’t quite offer enough space or utility, well…that’s just no good, my friends.

To get a touch more specific: That’s where the Filson Oil Finish Tin Cloth Duffle amps up your everyday carry in a major way. I’ve long been a fan of Filson, the Pacific Northwest heritage outfitter with a penchant for delivering uncompromising, unfailing goods — including luggage like the Filson Large Rugged Duffle.

And if you’ve tried out the brand — as I have over the years — or if you read the blog on the regular, then it should come as no surprise that the Filson Oil Finish Tin Cloth Duffle more than passes muster.

The specs on the seriously cool, investment-worthy Filson Oil Finish Tin Cloth Duffle fall right in line with other heritage-quality Filson men’s gear, especially the brand’s durable-as-can-be Tin Cloth waxed canvas. That canvas stands up to wear and tear, bumps and abrasions, weather and more, and it gets better with age each time you pack up to hit the road.

Shop Filson luggage right now

Plus, the Filson Oil Finish Tin Cloth Duffle is accented with iconic Filson touches, including Bridle Leather handles and a shoulder strap that will also break in handsomely over time. Even the brass zipper is rustproof — how’s that for a touch of rugged appeal?

And for good measure, the colorway of this particular Filson Oil Finish Tin Cloth Duffle is a limited-edition offering. In my experience, limited-edition Filson goods tend not to stick around forever, and that’s reason enough to add another rugged Filson men’s bag to your EDC.

How about it? If you end up packing up the Filson Oil Finish Tin Cloth Duffle to hit the road this summer, let me know in the comments below.

See Now, Buy Now: The Western Rise Evolution Pants are the Perfect Pants for Summer Adventures

You’ve got a lot to get ready for this summer, right? In my experience, dressing in style for the summer comes down to preparation — knowing what summer style essentials you need even before you need them, and that’s particularly true as you look to beat the heat.

That can take many forms: Staying polished and cool while heading to the office comes to mind, but so does finding a pair of the best men’s pants for summer adventures. From commutes to day hikes, happy hours to summer travel, I’ve found there’s one pair of pants that can just about do it all.

That’d be the Western Rise Evolution Pants, a personal favorite of mine and the ideal solution when you consider how to dress for the heat in style.

Learn more now at Western Rise

If you’ve cruised through the blog in recent years, perhaps you’re familiar with Colorado-based Western Rise, a brand that rests at the intersection of modern performance style. For instance, they make one of the best merino T-shirts, the sort of shirt you can wear to a brewery, or out on a casual park stroll or off-grid on a weekend camping trip (talk about versatility).

And yet, they also make one of the best buttondown shirts for warm weather, one that I personally love — and naturally, the Western Rise Evolution Pants check many of the same boxes when it comes to outstanding versatility, sharp looks and remarkable performance.

So named because they sit at the “evolution” of jeans, these pants deliver that same critical versatility — they’ve got a five-pocket design, but the Western Rise Evolution Pants look and feel both slightly more polished and slightly more adventure-ready. From my personal experience, that’s a tough combination to crack, yet the Western Rise Evolution Pants hit the nail on the head.

The key is a lightweight, stain-resistant, four-way stretch fabric that feels super-soft to the touch, yet is designed to resist abrasions in the field and on the trail. Beyond that, the stretch fabric is crucial in these ever-more casual times.

The Western Rise Evolution Pants certainly contain multitudes, and that’s why they’ve become my new favorite pair of pants over the years. They move seamlessly with you throughout the day, they work expertly as a pair of the best travel pants for men (thanks to the handy media pocket), and color options like Olive, Dune and Navy wear well with plenty of different shades in my own wardrobe (and yours!).

Shop stylish pants and shorts at Western Rise

Searching for pants made to take you from the office to a long weekend and back? The Western Rise Evolution Pants can go anywhere you go, with ease.

The Tuesday Steal: Get 20 Percent Off a Classic Leather Watch at Bespoke Post

When putting together an #OOTD, I’ve always been of the mind that it’s the details that make the difference, be it finding a stylish piece of outerwear on a breezy day, topping off a spring or summer look with a minimal, classic ballcap, or putting on one of the best watches for men right before you head out the door.

Learn more now at Bespoke Post

And while Nixon also makes a standout selection of everyday carry gear for men, I think it’s the Nixon Sentry Leather Watch that should be on your radar right now for about 20 percent off. Crucially, it’s a streamlined, relatively minimal leather watch with a crisp dial that can be dressed up or dressed down.

Case in point: Pair it with everything from your favorite pocket tee or cotton polo and chino shorts to navy trousers and a classic Oxford shirt at the office. Yes indeed, the Nixon Sentry Leather Watch is that versatile, my friends.

In my experience, Nixon leather watches are both durable and affordable, priced nicely and designed with versatile style in mind. That’s crucial in this day and age, especially if you want to upgrade your watch collection without spending an arm and a leg.

And the Nixon Sentry Leather Watch (priced below $150 when on sale) boasts useful details, from a day and date window to a nicely sized 42mm case that should work on most wrists.

Beyond that, the Nixon Sentry Leather Watch comes in handsome combinations like Gunmetal and Black, or Brass and Brown (my personal favorite). Upgrading your wrist game on a budget just got easier, so don’t sleep on this post-Memorial Day sale from Nixon.

See Now, Buy Now: The Filson Eagle Harbor Trunks are a Rugged Summer Adventure Essential

Every so often, I like to scour the market for something with both a touch of retro appeal and modern functionality, sort of “what’s old is new again” approach that works especially well for plenty of menswear essentials.

This works in plenty of seasons, in my experience. And especially as we roll into the summer months, that approach could apply quite well to your new favorite pair of swim trunks.

And believe me when I say you can find those swim trunks at a heritage-minded brand, as surprising as that might sound. Yessir, Filson is making your new go-to swimsuit for the summer. Or rather, it’s a hybrid between a swimsuit and hiking performance gear, and that’s also a solid find to keep handy.

Shop new summer gear at Filson

In my experience, the best men’s summer shorts are becoming a bit more retro, with a more streamlined cut and a more stylish approach than the baggy cargo-style swim trunks of my youth. That’s certainly on display with the Filson Eagle Harbor Swim Trunks, which certainly call to mind throwback swim trunks while delivering a dose of modern, rugged utility.

How’s that for some of the most versatile men’s shorts to shop now, ehh? And since it’s Memorial Day, perhaps you’ve had your eye on a new pair of swim trunks or hiking shorts — well, consider these as fine an option as any. What separates the Filson Eagle Harbor Swim Trunks from the pack?

They’re a touch unconventional, for one, which is never a bad option to have on hand — especially if your summer pursuits are less about hanging out by a pool and more about rafting, hiking, camping or some combination of all three.

Learn more now at Filson

Heck, even if you only wear the Filson Eagle Harbor Swim Trunks to your local lake, they’ll still perform as well as any pair on the market. Of course, as with any number of Filson menswear essentials, this newfound warm-weather staple is built to last.

The Filson Eagle Harbor Swim Trunks are made from sturdy waxed cotton that’ll break in nicely over time, so they’re almost a hybrid between swim trunks and hiking shorts (the fly is even gusseted like old-school boxing shorts for ease of movement).

Plus, that cotton construction resists water absorption, while the pockets are made from mesh for water drainage. You can even wear them out of the water, back on the trail with one of the best Filson short-sleeve shirts, too. If versatility and rugged appeal is the name of the game, Filson is the heritage brand you need to shop this summer.

They boast mineral glass ‘G15’ sun lenses and acetate temple tips for a comfortable, no-slip fit, and the frames are made with recycled steel and bio acetate for a sustainable touch. It’s worth keeping top of mind that you’re getting all of this (plus the assurance of shopping with Huckberry!) for an outstanding 50 percent off.

Style Pick of the Week: Buck Mason Curved Hem Henley – A Rugged Summer Style Classic

From time to time, you’ve simply got to keep classic menswear essentials at the forefront of your wardrobe (and your shopping search). For instance, in the heat of summer, there are ways to step out in style that are visually appealing and different from the everyday, like opting for a stylish curved hem henley as opposed to a classic crewneck tee or even a pocket T-shirt.

It’s a classic move, it’s the epitome of rugged style, and there’s one brand in particular you should trust to outfit you accordingly. That brand, of course, is Buck Mason, and if you read the blog on the regular, I’d hope you know them very well indeed.

What makes the Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Henley a must-buy? There’s plenty going for it, especially as we move into the hotter climes of summer. The sporting roots of the henley shirt are a nice touch, to be sure, while the button placket frames the face and can be customized with any particular number of buttons (see how Ryan Gosling wears his favorite short-sleeve henley, for instance).

Best short-sleeve henley for men to buy now.

Now, we can’t all be as suave as Ryan Gosling, but any time a celeb of such esteem wears a rugged style classic, it’s a move worth emulating — and the even better news is, you needn’t spend an arm and a leg on the Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Henley. Sure, it’s decidedly more expensive than a standard 3-pack of T-shirts at $68, but if you’ve tried out Buck Mason men’s T-shirts, you know that the quality is worth the extra investment. And with the Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Henley, it all starts with the fabric itself.

It’s a long-staple pima cotton for an exceptionally soft hand feel and a touch of durability, and this rugged henley is available in both classic colors (like Black, Heather Grey and Heather Oat), as well as an even softer Venice Wash option in a breezy, versatile Olive. And of course, there’s the curved hem itself — it’ll prove flattering on multiple body types — as well as the cuffed sleeves, a retro touch that also flatters your upper body and arms.

If it seems like the Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Henley checks all the right boxes, that’s because, well, it does. In my experience, the Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Henley fits exceptionally well, drapes comfortably and retains its shape, and feels super-soft to the touch. That sounds like a summer menswear essential to buy now, does it not? Get out there and shop accordingly, my friends.
