It also goes without saying that Faherty is as reliable a resource as any for one of the best summer shirts, so what could be a better complementary piece than new shorts in a fresh cut? There’s not much, particularly when casual style situations come calling — that goes for BBQs, backyard hangs, brewery beers and coastal getaways, and the Faherty Essential Italian Knit Cord Shorts are practically an essential selection.

For starters, the Faherty Essential Italian Knit Cord Shorts take retro style cues and bring them forward into the 21st century, using details like a shorter, flattering 6-inch inseam as the canvas for some throwback-inspired shorts.

Coastal style inspiration makes these some seriously stylish shorts for men, and the use of knit cord made from organic cotton gives them nice texture and a light, soft and even stretchy feel. Best of all is the fact that they feature an elastic drawcord waist for plenty of comfort.

And yet, folks needn’t be any the wiser that you’re going belt-less, at least if your T-shirt or polo hits at or slightly below that waistband. The Faherty Essential Italian Knit Cord Shorts also cover off nicely in matters of style, what with a range of flattering color options ranging from earth tones to a dusty pink and a handsome cream color.

The Sunday Sale: This Todd Snyder Tee is a Breezy Casual Style Option for Summer

Some of my favorite style essentials for men are picks that don’t add too much hassle or fuss to your menswear wardrobe. Picks like one of the best T-shirts for men, for instance, and especially one from a trusted menswear brand like Todd Snyder.

The right T-shirt, one with super-soft fabric, a flattering fit and subtle style details, can prove as invaluable when worn on its own as when layered beneath your favorite denim jacket or an unbuttoned camp collar shirt. In my experience, one of the best T-shirts for men is worth spending a bit more money on, particularly when it’s made by one of the country’s finest menswear designers. But since we’re talking deals today, I’ve got even better news for you.

That’s right: The Todd Snyder Made in L.A. Homespun Pocket Tee lives up to its name in every way possible, and that only gets better when you consider the fact that it’s on sale right now for nearly 30 percent off. It’s a standout wardrobe addition, especially in a color like Hickory, which wears well with cream-colored jeans, with light wash denim or even with olive or light khaki chino shorts.

The Todd Snyder Made in L.A. Homespun Pocket Tee also features signature details from the designer, like a button chest pocket. Plus, garment-dyed slub spun jersey cotton should prove ultra-soft, breathable and nicely textured — your standard undershirt, this is not. You see, the Todd Snyder Made in L.A. Homespun Pocket Tee can stand out handsomely all on its own, and when you throw in a nice discount, you’re getting a downright steal that changes the game for your T-shirt rotation.

Best summer shirt for men.

Plus, the Filson Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt gets the details right, like two button-front chest pockets for everyday carry essentials.

The Sunday Sale: Join Now and Save On Menswear Favorites with the GQ Box

As I scour the Web for the best menswear deals, I often turn a weather eye toward the best subscription boxes for men, which are often a true one-stop shop (or one-stop “box”) for a wide variety of savings on gear, menswear, tech, the best men’s grooming goods and more.

And lately, I’ve been quite impressed with the GQ Box, a rather new entry into the world of men’s subscription boxes.

Companies like Bespoke Post, a personal favorite subscription box of mine, have had the market cornered for years, so why not leave it to one of the top men’s style and lifestyle publications on the planet to draw up a finely crafted set of style and gear essentials?

There’s plenty to love about the GQ Box, which takes a finely curated, premium approach to men’s goods of all sorts — and the savings are no slouch, either. First-time subscribers to GQ Box can get their first box for as low as $39 — and at a value of more than $300.

The contents of each Box are expertly selected, from skincare to accessories to sunglasses, everyday carry pieces, stylish socks and much more — all seasonally appropriate and cool as can be, of course.

Learn more now at GQ Box

That’s a heck of a deal on GQ-approved products, is it not? Of course, there’s also the GQ Box Exclusive Store, another way to stock your cart with top-of-the-line menswear, grooming goods, tech, everyday carry gear and more — all with one-off purchases, of course.

Yet the true mark of savings comes from that first-time sign-up deal: First-time subscribers to GQ Box can get their first box for as low as $39. If you end up signing up for the GQ Box, feel free to let me know in the comments below.
