Style Pick of the Week: Sunspel Riviera Polo

If there’s one thing you can count on in this life, it’s that the menswear of James Bond (as seen above!) is as timeless, modern and yet classically cool as it gets, all at once. That’s certainly the case with today’s Style Pick of the Week, the Sunspel Riviera Polo, as sold by UNCRATE and as worn by everyone’s favorite secret agent. If you’ve followed James Bond since Daniel Craig took over before the legendary “Casino Royale,” perhaps you recognize, say, the T-shirt worn by James Bond, also made by Sunspel (and featured in this rugged, versatile #OOTD, too).

HELM Boots

It helps that now, you can head to UNCRATE to get the equally legendary Sunspel Riviera James Bond Polo, the type of polo shirt that’s as comfortable as your favorite T-shirt and even cooler than you might expect. It retails for $135, but if you ask me, it’s more than worth the price. After all, the UNCRATE Supply Shop is packed with the coolest menswear and gear imaginable, and what better way to step into a summer Saturday than with some new picks, like your new favorite polo? And because it’s too hot out at the moment to wear James Bond’s Danner boots from UNCRATE, this stylish men’s polo is the next best thing (and that’s an understatement).

Sunspel Riviera Polo

The Sunspel Riviera Polo is a masterclass in how to make one of the best polos for men, and then in how to keep making it so consistently through the years. Available in Navy — the same polo worn by James Bond — as well as Grey Melange, Black and White, it’s an iconic offering done up in a crisp silhouette that’s neither too baggy nor too tight. It features a custom mesh fabric for the utmost in breathability, and this classic men’s polo is also cut to be worn untucked, like Bond himself would wear it.
Mack Weldon
If I could give you some advice, I’d urge you to go right out and snag the Sunspel Riviera Polo before the next James Bond movie, “No Time To Die,” is released this fall (as UNCRATE notes, the cool Heather Grey Melange colorway is a limited-edition offering that calls back to “Casino Royale”). At the end of the day, there are limitless chances to wear this classic polo, including with your favorite pair of pants — preferably tan chinos or off-white jeans — to summer cocktail parties and casual-yet-polished days at the office. Act now, add this James Bond polo to your rotation, then watch as compliments befitting of a secret agent roll your way.

The Friday Read: Filson for Father’s Day, Sean Connery Artwork & The Best Father’s Day Gifts

Best gifts for Father's Day 2021

Thanks for joining us for another very special edition of the Friday Read, where I wrap up the week in style and send you off into the weekend with some choice menswear picks. There’s truly no time like the present to shop for the best Father’s Day gifts for men, including the excellent and well-appointed Filson Father’s Day Shop. I’ve long been a fan of this Pacific Northwest heritage brand and its rugged and exceptionally durable gear, and perhaps your Dad or the father figure in your life feels the same way. Be sure to check out a few of my picks for the best Filson gear, including plenty of Father’s Day gifts under $100 from the lauded outfitter. Dad’s going to love what you get him either way, I guarantee it. I personally l love the Filson Polo Shirt and the rugged Filson Travel Pack, so be sure to stock up accordingly.

You’ve still got plenty of time to shop for Father’s Day, so I’d also recommend taking a look at my favorite Father’s Day gifts from Huckberry — to name but a few picks on this site. I’ll certainly be planning ahead and doing some shopping of my own, but I’ve got another major item on my agenda this weekend. I’ll be hitting the road on a solo getaway to upstate New York courtesy of Eddie Bauer!

 The legendary outfitter was kind enough to outfit me with some new Eddie Bauer men’s gear for my trip, which will take me to a solo mini-cabin getaway at the Getaway Eastern Catskills. It’s an innovative approach to taking a trip in these times, and I can’t wait to put my Eddie Bauer picks to the test across the weekend. Be sure to follow me on Instagram to catch up with the latest from my trip! For now, here’s everything else you should be reading and shopping this weekend.

The Thursday Buy: These American Trench Sweatshorts Are the Best Pair of Casual Summer Shorts

The Thursday Buy: These American Trench Sweatshorts Are the Best Pair of Casual Summer Shorts | The Style Guide

If you’re in the market for a pair of the best casual shorts for men this spring and summer, especially as the weather warms up, today’s Thursday Buy can help you out. To get more specific right off the bat, the American Trench Pigment-Dyed Sweatshorts are some of the best men’s shorts you can buy for laidback lounging and really, whatever you have on your plate this casual and fun summer. It doesn’t come as too much of a surprise though, does it? We’re talking, after all, about American Trench, purveyors of some of the best American-made menswear out there right now.

If you’ve perused the pages of this blog through the years, you know that American Trench initially started out with a focus on the best men’s trench coat before branching out into the best American-made socks and much more. These days, the Pennsylvania-based brand makes all sorts of menswear and gear imaginable, including the breezy, easygoing and yet very well-made American Trench Pigment-Dyed Sweatshorts. These could be the very shorts you come to rely on and wear all summer. After all, I’d imagine you could use a new pair of shorts or sweatpants after a year of working from home. Maybe you’re heading back to the office, though, and in need of some of the best lounge shorts to wear after the 9-to-5 grind. Either way, the American Trench Pigment-Dyed Sweatshorts are your new go-to pair for plenty of seasonal pursuits.

SHOP: The American Trench Pigment-Dyed Sweatshorts 

Your new favorite pair of shorts have plenty going for ’em starting with the unique approach to their fabrication. They’re made from 100 percent cotton fleece made with EcoLife© yarn, which blends 50 percent recycled materials and 50 percent cotton from the Better Cotton Initiative. That means these stylish men’s sweatshorts are sustainable as well as stylish.

Satchel and Page

The pigment-dying process gives each pair a soft finish and unique look, and it helps that the resulting range of colors (including the Sky option shown above) is breezy and fresh for summer. These are some of the best men’s casual shorts for good reason, and I’m sure you’ll find plenty of ways to wear ’em. That goes for the beach and the bonfire as well as the brewery, teamed up with your favorite summer polo or the best white T-shirt for men, too. My personal favorite is the Storm (grey) color, which I’d wear with a navy polo or pocket tee and my favorite white leather sneakers. Any way you look at it, the American Trench Pigment-Dyed Sweatshorts are the answer to your summer prayers for casual, easygoing-yet-stylish summer shorts for men. Happy shopping and stay cool, folks.

See Now, Buy Now: Buck Mason’s Linen Shirt is the Best New Summer Shirt Out There

Buck Mason review

Have you been counting down the days to the official start of summer and using my ongoing See Now, Buy Now series to stock up on essentials like the best summer shirts for men? If you answered yes, you’re in good company, and as ever, Buck Mason is here to save the day with the new Buck Mason Cotton-Linen Camp Collar Shirt. It checks all the right boxes, and then some, and then some more, as far as your search for one of the best lightweight shirts for men is concerned. The kicker here is that it retails for $95 at Buck Mason, a steal when you consider the quality and great looks you’re getting.

Satchel and Page

That’s great news for you and me both, as we join the crowds heading to the park, the beach or the brewery — or all three — this summer. And if you want a casual, cool shirt to wear back to the office (perhaps an office with a summer-friendly dress code), then this camp collar shirt is a perfect alternative to the more traditional polo. With style points aplenty and breezy fabric top of mind, Buck Mason has made one of the best short-sleeve shirts, right in line with its focus on producing the best T-shirts, the best summer shorts and much more. Why a camp collar shirt, exactly? I’m glad you asked, my friends.

SHOP: The Buck Mason Cotton-Linen Camp Collar Shirt

Buck Mason Cotton-Linen Camp Collar Shirt

A camp collar shirt is a retro style that’s come back into vogue in recent years, from the runways to your closet now. It was the kind of easygoing shirt you’d see dads of the ’50s and ’60s wear on more casual outings (a la camping trips!), designed to replace dress shirts. It helps that the Buck Mason take on one of the best lightweight shirts for men is breezy and laidback, yet well-fitted and not baggy. Oh, and the fabric is another major bonus as you search for additions to your rotation of the best summer shirts for men.  A 55 percent linen and 45 percent cotton blend gives the Buck Mason Cotton-Linen Camp Collar Shirt structure and yet breathability. Small touches like horizontal, rather than vertical, button holes, offer you greater range of movement, too.

Wear the Buck Mason Cotton-Linen Camp Collar Shirt unbuttoned atop a crisp white T-shirt, like your dad or grandfather might have done, or else button it up and team it with Buck Mason Deck Shorts on the weekends. When the work week rolls around, you can also team it with classic Buck Mason chinos to head to the office in breezy fashion. Plus, three colorways — including Ocean Breeze shown above — make it easy to find a favorite, as does the $95 price tag. Your new favorite summer shirt is up for grabs, folks.

#OOTD: How to Wear a Blazer This Summer, The Right Way

Well, my friends. The time is upon us. Perhaps you’ve got a summer wedding to attend, or an outdoor soiree, or an evening of cocktails — or just a busy day at the office, packed with meetings. If you’re looking for an #OOTD that really can tackle all of those situations, my guide on how to wear a blazer can help you get the job done the right way. It’s all about finding one of the best summer jackets for men, and then making the rest of your look work for you. After all, it’s sweltering out there, but you still want to look crisp and put-together. That’s precisely where the ultra-lightweight Buck Mason Carry-On Jacket comes into play — it’s breezy, yet polished, and you can wear it with other similarly lightweight style essentials.

And those style essentials, my friends, are perfectly geared towards the heat of the season ahead. We’re talking a lightweight performance polo made with breathability in mind, plus a pair of the best chinos for men and it only gets better (and cooler) from there. No matter what the day throws at you, this #OOTD can help you get where you need to go and look great doing it. Let’s see what’s on the way, shall we?

Best way for men to wear a blazer this spring

 

  • The Blazer: Buck Mason Carry-On Jacket, $150 — This lightweight cotton jacket is a perfectly breezy summer blazer you can wear anywhere that calls for one of the best summer jackets for men.
  • The Polo: Rhoback Blue Sky Performance Polo, $79 — Reach for a moisture-wicking performance polo to stay cool and dry — in style — this summer. It’s one of the best polos to wear with a blazer, I declare.
  • The Chinos: Mott and Bow Charles Twill Chinos, $99 — The key with keeping this #OOTD polished and yet casual is a pair of the best chinos for men. You can wear these for whatever the weekend or work week calls for, from meetings to happy hour to that Friday getaway.
  • The Loafers: Astorflex Patnoflex Loafers, $185 — These refined leather loafers are as dressy and yet versatile as it gets. Wear them as often as possible this season.
  • The Watch: Shinola Runwell Automatic Watch, $1,095 — Splurge on this investment-level watch from Shinola, the kind you can wear to big-time meetings, summer weddings and refined cocktail hours aplenty.
  • The Sunglasses: Maui Jim Kawika Sunglasses, $300 — Here they are. Pick up your new favorite pair of sunglasses, then proceed to wear them with this blazer all summer long.
  • The Grooming Essential: The Art Of Shaving Peppermint Facial Scrub, $25 — Give your skin a lift and remove dirt & grime from your face all the while with this Art Of Shaving facial scrub. It’s a true men’s grooming essential to whip your mug into shape, whatever your day calls for.
  • The Everyday Carry: Bellroy A5 Work Folio, $199 — If the scenario in question is more casual, leave this leather folio at home. But if you’re putting this #OOTD to good use throughout a busy work day, well, you’re in luck — it’s an everyday carry essential you really do need.

Alright, if you’re feeling a bit more ready to face the world in style now this season, you’re assuredly not alone. It all starts out with one of the best summer jackets for men, the proper way to stay cool and breezy while looking great. Throw on that jacket over a stylish performance polo, and then pair that reliably lightweight combo with a pair of the best chinos for men. It all gets even better when you step out with a proper pair of shoes: The Astorflex Patnoflex Loafers really drive home the excellent, easygoing-yet-sharp style of this summer #OOTD.

I’m also a big fan of the right accessories, including your new favorite pair of sunglasses and an investment-level watch from Shinola.  It all sounds pretty great, does it not? Get your face in shape for big meetings and outdoor weddings with a premium Art Of Shaving facial scrub, and then outfit your EDC properly with a true everyday carry essential from Bellroy. What do you think of this #OOTD?

Style Pick of the Week: Buck Mason Canvas Walk Shorts

Buck Mason men's shorts

Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to put away your sweatpants and athletic shorts and step out this summer wearing some of the best men’s shorts for summer and well beyond. If you’ve read the blog (or glanced at the headline), then you know that the best shorts for men this summer are yours for the taking from a longtime favorite of The Style Guide: Buck Mason, a brand that drew initial style inspiration from Ohio before setting its sights on locales like Austin, L.A. and New York City.

The great news is, you can wear the Buck Mason Canvas Walk Shorts to each and every one of those cities, and on summer adventures, and anywhere you darn well please this season. How’s that for a return to normal and a return to standout summer style? I’m right there with you, and even on paper, I can definitely appreciate the classic style and durability of these Buck Mason canvas shorts. They’ve got all the proper specs when it comes to your new favorite shorts, and we’ll keep getting into what makes ’em so great — if you keep scrolling, that is.

SHOP: The Buck Mason Canvas Walk Shorts 

Buck Mason review

Helpfully, the Buck Mason Canvas Walk Shorts are much more stylish and well-built than the sweatshorts you’ve probably been rocking consistently as of late (guilty as charged). The stretch cotton canvas offers durability and yet ease of movement, with the design modeled after army surplus shorts. They’re about as classic a pair of men’s shorts as you’ll find, right down to the easy-access front slant hip pockets to haul your everyday carry gear. The 8-inch inseam is neither too short nor too long — it should hit above the knee, but if you want a pair of Buck Mason shorts with, well, a shorter cut, give the Buck Mason Deck Shorts (featuring a 6-inch inseam) a look. It helps that they also feature a hidden drawcord waist, a handy touch for ease of movement and comfortable patio lounging. As with most things Buck Mason, these rugged canvas shorts are agreeably priced, retailing for $85 at Buck Mason.

Satchel and Page

These durable canvas shorts have plenty going for ’em on the style front, too. You’d be remiss not to wear them with everything from a classic white T-shirt to, say, a Buck Mason polo for a bit of breezy summer fun at your next BBQ or beer-centric patio evening. Plus, four color options, including a khaki-like Willow Mojave Wash, offer up something for everyone as far as crisp, cool summer style is concerned. And once again, that mobile and easy-to-wear fabric blend (cotton and spandex) makes these a pair of stylish canvas shorts you can wear everywhere from the trail back to town. And trust me: You’ll want to wear them at least that much.

The Friday Read: The Best New Polo for Summer, Father’s Day Gifts & A Deal on Leather Jackets

Who else is looking forward to the weekend, perhaps one packed with time on the water wearing a stylish new polo? While the closest I’ll get to the water is likely the boardwalk at Coney Island (and Coney Island Brewing!), I know what I’ll be wearing for the occasion: One of the best performance polos for men from Rhoback, a brand that does a little bit of everything when it comes to making stylish gear for active guys on the go. They specialize in everything from golf polos to quarter-zips (known as Rhoback Q-Zips) to sweatshirts and tees, and they do it all using stretch fabrics that wick away moisture and look great in the process. If I were you, I’d head to Rhoback to buy your new favorite polo (and more!) for summer. Plus, you can get 10 percent off your first purchase at Rhoback today. Get right to it, folks.

Satchel and Page

Consider that the first recommendation to lead off your weekend, with more on the way in the rest of today’s Friday Read. If you’re searching for some weekend listening, I have another pick for you (with a side of style and craft beer included, of course). If you’re not already familiar, I write a twice-weekly music-menswear-craft beer newsletter called The Style Guide In Brief, highlighting my favorite tracks of the week, shopping deals and usually, a discount on craft beer (or coffee, or whiskey) for daily sipping. Speaking of that discount: It’s the code BEAU10 for 10 percent off your order at Brooklyn’s Threes Brewing. It’s a great time! You should also be sure to check out my ongoing work at Maxim, which I frequently cap off with a brewery visit.


Visit Todd Snyder New York

Of course, I’ll be doing a little writing myself this weekend, but that’ll be tempered by my visit to Coney Island — will I see you there? Let me know in the comments, but for now, let’s get into the best Father’s Day gifts and more below today.

Best candles for men

  • On the hunt for one of the best Father’s Day gifts this year, but looking for something a little more unique? Do I have a deal for you, my friends: Give Dad the gift of a great scent in his home office or the family den with Outdoor Fellow, makers of some of the best candles for men (and anyone, really!). Here’s the scoop: Give him a candle subscription for just $89.95 a month for three months to get a new candle each month (longer subscriptions are also available). Top scents include Woods and Coastal Forest — talk about a cool Father’s Day gift this year, ehh?

Men's Jackets & Outerwear - The Jacket Maker

  • Let’s talk about another one of the best gifts for Dad, shall we? I don’t see why not. If Dad needs a new or revamped leather jacket, there’s one place to go, and that’s Angel Jackets. The maker of some of the most affordable leather jackets is running its Father’s Day sale. You can take $20 off by applying the code AJ20. That’s a mighty nice way to ensure that Dad looks great all year round, and at a great price.
  • Here’s another fun one, and a potential great Father’s Day gift for the stylish dad. Over at Maxim, I wrote about the stellar new Todd Snyder x Moscot sunglasses collaboration, a partnership Snyder undertook to celebrate 10 years in business. He revamped one of his favorite sunglasses styles for the occasion, and the results are very stylish indeed. Happy reading — and shopping!

Satchel and Page

We’re going to wrap things up today in fine form — head here to this blog post to read all about the best sneakers you can buy for under $60 this very moment at UNCRATE. I’m all about a stellar deal for summer, and you can’t top a standout price on some of the best sneakers for men. Once again, happy shopping and enjoy the weekend out there!

The Thursday Buy: The Buck Mason Carry-On Suit is the Best Suit for Summer

Best summer suit for men

Before you know it, it’ll be time to hit the road (hopefully, with a stylish leather bag packed up) for your first summer wedding, that all-important celebration that marks a return to normalcy this year. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, though: You need one of the best summer suits for the occasion, and that’s where the Buck Mason Carry-On Jacket ($150) and Buck Mason Carry-On Pants ($125) come into play. Think of it like one of the best suits for men, the kind you would have worn pre-pandemic, but with some crucial differences that make it a stylish casual suit all the same. It’s also fitting that the all-American style purveyors at Buck Mason make this suit, because they also excel at complementary casual menswear essentials, from the best denim shirt to the best T-shirts for men.

The Buck Mason Carry-On Suit is, after all, designed to ease you back into wearing tailoring once more, built with super-lightweight, soft cotton for a laidback fit and feel. In short, the Buck Mason Carry-On Suit is the best suit for a summer wedding in these more casual times. Don’t believe me? Keep scrolling, and just know that I’ve been putting my own Buck Mason summer suit to the test in the heat of Brooklyn as of late (thank you to the brand for sending!).

SHOP: The Buck Mason Carry-On Suit

Buck Mason Carry-On Pants

The specs on the Buck Mason Carry-On Suit plainly put it squarely at the top of the heap as far as casual summer suits are concerned. For starters, both the Buck Mason Carry-On Jacket and Buck Mason Carry-On Pants are made from a perfect, summer-weight stretch cotton, much closer to shirting fabric than your typical suit. Both the jacket and pants, in that regard, are also unlined, meaning the suit will move with you and won’t trap excess heat during that outdoor summer wedding reception. The Buck Mason Carry-On Pants are cut with a straight, tapered fit, one that leaves some room up top and tapers slightly below the knee (compare ’em to the fit of the Buck Mason Standard Jeans).

Satchel and Page

And the Buck Mason Carry-On Jacket is as casual and cool as can be, made from that same lightweight fabric and featuring patch pockets for a relaxed-yet-tailored blend. It’s made with three buttons, but the jackets rolls to show two (they call this “three-roll-two” in the biz. The point is, it’s one of the best summer blazers in its own right (especially in the khaki-like Sandstone color), whether worn atop a tee or with a crisp Buck Mason Oxford shirt.

Satchel and Page The combo also delivers plenty of crucial, lightweight bang for your buck. Heck, $275 is a great price for both items when you consider that you can mix and match both pieces with other Buck Mason staples, including pairing the jacket with a Buck Mason tee and jeans, or teaming the Buck Mason Carry-On Pants with a Buck Mason buttondown shirt.  If you ask me, the Buck Mason Carry-On Suit is the best suit to wear this summer, no matter where the season takes you. Good luck out there, folks.
