The Thursday Buy: Todd Snyder’s Made-in-L.A. Polo Is the Coolest Summer Style Move to Make Now

What’s a guy to do when he wants to strike the perfect balance between laidback and casual, yet classy? The answer: Look towards classics that are easygoing yet polished, like one of the best men’s polos. Better still, look to a designer like Todd Snyder — a master at reinventing American style classics — to deliver one of the best polos for men in a way that’s refined and yet still cool-as-can-be.

The Todd Snyder Made-in-L.A. Jersey Polo checks all the right boxes, starting with the extra sort of care and attention to detail you get from a polo that’s made in the States. Los Angeles is also a prime source for quality knitwear production of all sorts, and this stylish men’s polo certainly fits the bill.

Crucially, the Todd Snyder Made-in-L.A. Jersey Polo uses soft 100 percent cotton for breezy style in the summer heat, yet the relatively tailored fit makes this polo a polished option for everything from a casual Friday at the office to a summer evening BBQ – yes, it can do all of that (and then some).

Plus, timeless and easy-to-style colors like a sharp White or crisp Navy make the Todd Snyder Made-in-L.A. Jersey Polo a solid option any day (or night) of the week. It’s a pricier step up than your average polo shirt at $98, but hey, it’s Todd Snyder we’re talking about here — this is one summer style move that’s worth the price. Happy shopping, folks.

The Tuesday Steal: Tecovas Just Launched Its First Slip-on For Under $200

Curating a wardrobe filled with clothes you love to wear (but not too many clothes!) sometimes requires keeping a weather eye out on the market — finding brands you can trust, and then trusting those brands when they enter new territory. Take Tecovas, a personal favorite of your Brooklyn style writer and makers of some of the best dress boots for men.

Well, they’re entering unfamiliar territory and yet doing so with a focus on making some of the best men’s shoes: Meet the Tecovas Monterrey Slip-on, the brand’s first-ever slip-on and a downright steal (a true Tuesday Steal!) for under $200. It’s a unique style for a brand best known for making some of the best leather dress boots — a go-to pair of mine, in fact — and it’s a nice way to change up your footwear rotation in the summer months, to say the least.

Crucially, the Tecovas Monterrey Slip-on features all the same hallmarks of the brand’s rugged, durable and yet easy-to-wear boots, starting with an impressive focus on craftsmanship. That means using materials like bovine, which will wear nicely over time, or water-resistant suede, plus Blake stitch construction — critical for that durability but arguably more streamlined than Goodyear welt construction.

To make matters even better — yes, better — the Tecovas Monterrey Slip-on is low-profile enough to wear with rolled chinos or light wash jeans, but also casual enough to wear with your favorite summer shorts. And of course, the Tecovas Monterrey Slip-on is a downright steal — hence the inclusion in our Tuesday Steal series — for under $170. There’s plenty of time to make ’em your new favorite summer slip-ons.

See Now, Buy Now: It’s The Last Day to Shop More Than 1,300 On-Sale Items at Huckberry’s Summer Sale

I’m of the opinion that when it comes to building a great wardrobe, or figuring out the menswear essentials that work best for you, it’s all down to one thing: Repetition. That’s why I’m repeating myself ever-so-slightly to start the week, and I’m directing you to once again shop the Huckberry Summer Sale.

As you might have read on the blog over the weekend, Huckberry’s Annual Summer Sale only runs through today — yes, today as in Monday — and it’s packed with a stunning array of gear you can actually wear the rest of this summer (unlike other sales, which tend to feature menswear from last season).

The fact that the sale gives you up to 45 percent off the best menswear essentials is impressive in its own right, as is the array of stylish menswear on tap from the lauded San Francisco and Austin retailer. If you haven’t yet shopped this sale, rest assured that there’s still just enough time to get everything from the best men’s shorts to your new favorite T-shirt — and so much more, assuredly.

A few of my favorites? Of course, it’s tough to pick just a few, but I’m all about Wellen’s stylish swim trunks, a pair of the best men’s shorts from Flint and Tinder, and some of the best summer slip-ons for easygoing style. Act now to make each of these picks yours, because time is of the essence. Stay stylish, my friends!

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts – The Best On-Sale Shorts for the Summer Heat

It doesn’t take much to recognize we’re in the midst of some intense summer heat, the kind that calls for — among other menswear essentials — a pair of the best shorts for men. That much might be obvious, but when you get the chance to shop a set of shorts as well-made and much-loved as the famed and highly stylish Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts, it’s time to step up to the plate and add ’em to your cart.

Here’s where it gets even better: Your new favorite pair of summer shorts just so happen to be on sale right now for about 30 percent off via the Huckberry Summer Sale — to say you should act quickly is an understatement.

Of course, these shorts have plenty going for them aside from the sale price (which only lasts until Monday!). Crucially, the Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts are made from the same material as the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, a staple of the Huckberry lineup that blends the style of chinos with the comfort of five-pocket pants and the durability of stretch cotton fabric.

Versatile doesn’t begin to cover it, and you get that same set of much-loved features from the Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts, right down to the easily wearable 7-inch or 9-inch inseam (both of which should work for most guys). Plus, you’ll find the Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts in a wide array of colors and sizes, enough to suit every style and body type. And yes, once again, now through Monday, the Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts are on sale for about 30 percent off. Your next go-to summer style move awaits, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: The Huckberry x Coors Collection Is the Coolest Summer Menswear Collab to Shop Now

Some menswear partnerships just make so much sense, it’s a wonder they haven’t always existed in some form — like the Huckberry x Coors menswear capsule that just dropped, which just so happens to be one of the coolest style collabs of the moment. It’s a thoughtfully designed, well-made collection of truly classic summer style essentials, the kind of pieces that look timeless, wear well and get better with age. It certainly doesn’t hurt that the good folks at rugged gear purveyors Huckberry know plenty about durable gear, adventures on and off the grid, and of course, capping it all off with an ice-cold beer or two.

See Now, Buy Now: The Buck Mason Campus Knit Oxford is Your Most Reliable Summer Shirt

The best menswear essentials often have a little more to them than meets the eye, a fact you assuredly know if you’ve read the blog on the regular — and a fact you know if you regularly shop the timeless Americana menswear being produced by the good folks at Buck Mason. Take the Oxford shirt. So named for the Oxford cloth that originally produced the style Across the Pond, the Oxford shirt is a prep staple and now, a Swiss Army Knife you can dress up or dress down, even in the summer months — and my friends, this is where the Buck Mason Campus Knit Oxford is ready to step right up and join your wardrobe.

Hopefully, you’ve already ramped up your summer wardrobe with other Buck Mason style picks, like the famed Buck Mason Twill Officer’s Chinos, another modern-meets-classic style upgrade. If you’re still looking for that ideal shirt to wear from the summer into early fall (yes, it’s on the way!), then the Buck Mason Campus Knit Oxford is going to check off more than a few boxes. Let’s count the ways, yes?

The kicker with the Buck Mason Campus Knit Oxford is both the inspiration and the fabric itself — here, Buck Mason has taken design cues from vintage shirting by using a textured 7oz. yarn-dyed cotton for some nice depth and visual interest, plus an all-season weight.

In short, you can wear the Buck Mason Campus Knit Oxford with everything from stretch chino shorts in the heat of summer to, well, the aforementioned Buck Mason Twill Officer’s Chinos in the fall and winter (layered accordingly, naturally). For now though, make the Buck Mason Campus Knit Oxford a part of your regular summer style rotation, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: Save 20 Percent on the Best Lightweight Sweater From Taylor Stitch

Although we’re currently in the throes of a heat wave (at least in my neck of the woods), there’s some relief in sight — at least, there’s relief in sight as some very, very early fall menswear picks start to pop up online here and there. I’m of the opinion that it’s never too early to start preparing for the best season in menswear, hence today’s critical Tuesday Steal: One of the best lightweight sweaters, currently up for grabs via an early pre-funding deal in the Taylor Stitch Workshop.

If you’ve read the blog over the years, you know that San Francisco-based Taylor Stitch is a consistent favorite of the blog, offering up a variety of the very best menswear — shirting, blazers, sweaters, chinos, you name it — that toes the line between classic and modern quite easily and stylish. And that’s where the Taylor Stitch Hugo Sweater comes into play, and it’s up for pre-funding right now for 20 percent off.

The real key here is the use of 100 percent cotton in an alternating weave — as seen above — which gives it some pleasing texture and makes it easy to retain its shape, thanks to the ribbed collar and cuffs. On that note: Trust me, you’re going to want to wear the Taylor Stitch Hugo Sweater plenty this fall, be it with Taylor Stitch selvedge denim or stylish, trim Taylor Stitch chinos.

Here’s another key to keep in mind: You’ll have to wait until October to get your hands on one of the best lightweight sweaters for men, but with its versatile color, distinctive stitching and wear-with-anything crewneck design, it’ll be well worth the wait.
