See Now, Buy Now: This Aether Apparel Lightweight Crew Is a Rugged Summer Classic

There are times when you might not know what you need in your summer wardrobe until you come across a situation where, well, a certain pick could come in mighty handy. Take one of the best crewneck sweatshirts for men.

It’s a casual must-have worn under trucker jackets and atop flannel shirts in the colder months, but the right crewneck sweatshirt can prove extremely useful on chilly summer nights, too.

Think of it this way: If ever you’ve felt like you could use an extra layer on a cool summer evening, yet have come up short, consider it a valuable solution. And this, my friends, is where the Aether Apparel Solstice Lightweight Crew enters your wardrobe.

It comes from the technical masters at Los Angeles-based Aether Apparel, who founded their brand by focusing on gear that was stylish enough for the city and technical enough for the great outdoors.

Aether Apparel menswear review.

In my experience, the brand has succeeded on both accounts, which you can see if ever you’ve checked out the Aether Apparel Archive Sale or even worn one of the brand’s adventure-minded accessories, like a pair of the best sunglasses for men.

Elsewhere, picks like the Aether Apparel Solstice Lightweight Crew fit the bill nicely, from the lightweight French Terry cotton-blend construction to the garment-dyed finishing processing. The fact that it also comes in a trio of neutral, versatile shades (seen above and below) is a major benefit, too.

That process gives the Aether Apparel Solstice Lightweight Crew a lived-in feel right out of the box, something that in my personal experience is a great thing to have in your rotation of lightweight sweatshirts. It’s easy enough to throw on over a T-shirt, yet will maintain its shape enough to wear beneath a bomber jacket on especially brisk or rainy summer mornings (or nights, or afternoons, for that matter).

And the Aether Apparel Solstice Lightweight Crew should also add warmth to your #OOTD without weighing you down, another benefit of finding an outdoor essential for the summer months.

Like the rest of the Aether Apparel line, the Aether Apparel Solstice Lightweight Crew comes at a premium price, but in my opinion, the outfitter lives up to its stylish-yet-technical, high-quality reputation. That’s a great thing to have in your summer wardrobe, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: Get 50 Percent Off the Aether Apparel Archive Sale Right Now

Aether Apparel men's jacket review.

Sometimes, the best men’s style deals feel as rare as a solar eclipse, at least from some retailers – blink and you’ll miss it, so to speak, and that’s why I’m all about striking while the iron is hot to score savings on the best menswear and gear out there.

In the case of today’s post, things are getting technical enough for the field and yet sleek enough for the city, since AETHER Apparel is running a rare Archive Sale. The rarely-discounted California brand is offering up older styles for 50 percent off, and there’s enough there to catch your eye — I guarantee it. Yes indeed, 50 percent off from technically focused yet stylish brand AETHER Apparel is yours for the taking, but it’s not going to last forever.

Best puffer jackets for men.

But why shop and save now? It’s a two-fold endeavor, as many picks from the AETHER Apparel Archive Sale are built for winter-ready functionality — sure, they hail from the brand’s past collections, but it’s not just a sale packed with spring and summer styles.

The company is among my personal favorites for its mix of innovative design, technical prowess and, well, a serious cool factor that’s tough to top. That extends to AETHER Apparel sunglasses as well as one of the best men’s sweaters, to name two favorites — these are built with premium, durable materials, just as with many outdoor brands, but they haven’t skimped on rugged style, either.




You’ll find a bit of everything in this essential men’s style sale, from tough, streamlined puffer jackets to insulated winter parkas, quilted vests, cozy joggers and more, all in a range of vibrant colors (like the deep green Ghost Jacket shown at the top of the page).

There’s even a superfine merino wool cardigan in a classic shawl design up for the taking in a trio of colors. Yessir, the AETHER Apparel Archive Sale practically has it all if you’re in search of timeless style and technical innovation, so do your future self a favor and amp up your wardrobe ASAP.

The Sunday Sale: Get Up to 60 Percent off the Best Rugged Men’s Gear at AETHER Apparel

AETHER Apparel menswear review.

For as much as I love my tried-and-true favorites in the menswear world, it’s quite the treat to find a brand that makes you rethink how to merge form and function. I’m talking, in this case, about California-based AETHER Apparel, a brand that’s become a new (old) favorite of mine in the past few years.

AETHER Apparel menswear.

AETHER Apparel was founded with a focus on menswear essentials that are truly designed to go from town to trail, with an emphasis on technical fabrics and streamlined designs — gear that looks as stylish going across town as it does when escaping the city for a day hike or camping trip.

A tricky balance to strike, right? Of course, if you’ve checked out this blog as of late, perhaps you’re familiar with the fact that the brand now does everything from the best men’s sunglasses (a personal favorite!) to one of the best lightweight sweaters.

If you ask me, things just got even better as we dive into today’s Sunday Sale: You can get up to 60 percent off the best men’s outdoor gear at the AETHER Apparel End of Season Sale. It’s an opportunity that doesn’t come around all that often, particularly considering that AETHER crafts its gear from some of the finest technical fabrics on the planet, then sells it for a premium price (a price that’s worth it, no doubt!).

AETHER Apparel men's outerwear.

The deals are almost too good to be true within the AETHER Apparel End of Season Sale, but bear with me a moment. You can score 30 percent off, say, the sleek, water and wind-resistant Meridian Jacket, built with tough-as-nails yet lightweight GORE-TEX INFINIUM 2-layer fabric.

Among a full lineup of the best menswear deals, you’ll also find savings of 30 percent on the transition-ready, early fall-minded Pine Shacket, an all-weather buttondown you can layer over your favorite AETHER Apparel T-shirt.

The savings certainly don’t end there at the AETHER Apparel End of Season Sale — you’ll save 50 percent on a handy early fall layering piece like the Jemison Half-Zip Sweater, and a selection of reliable, super-soft long and short-sleeve tees are also marked down via the AETHER Apparel End of Season Sale.

These deals have to be seen to be believed, so I’d recommend you make your way over to AETHER Apparel before the sale ends on August 15th. Good luck out there, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: These AETHER Apparel Sunglasses are The Coolest Men’s Sunglasses to Buy Now

Best sunglasses for men to buy now.

Sometimes, getting ultra-specific is the right way to upgrade your wardrobe of menswear essentials. Some brands specialize in just a few things, and they do those things extremely well. Take AETHER Apparel.

The LA-based brand was founded in 2009 with a focus on creating highly technical outerwear that was rugged enough for the trail and refined enough to wear around town, and they’ve developed something of a cult following.

I personally appreciate the brand’s elevated, stylish approach to the best technical menswear, and they’ve upped the ante even further as of late. You see, AETHER Apparel (arguably one of the best online menswear shops out there) recently designed and launched a fresh new set of some of the best sunglasses for men — pretty cool, right?

Best new sunglasses for men.

Luckily, the results are everything you’d expect from a brand obsessed with quality and precision, and in my personal experience with these sunglasses, they more than live up to the hype. You see, the AETHER Apparel Sequoia Sunglasses fall right in line with the rest of AETHER Apparel’s rugged menswear.

That means they’re ready to perform in the heat of the day or on your daily commute, out on the open road or back in town at a rooftop bar. In my experience, I’ve found these sunglasses are also easy to transport — thanks to the custom, hard-wearing nylon carrying case — and are sleek enough to tuck easily into a blazer or T-shirt pocket when not in use.

AETHER Apparel men's sunglasses.

The AETHER Apparel Sequoia Sunglasses are made from some of the finest materials on the planet (in this case, natural Japanese acetate derived from wood pulp and cotton). They boast a rich amber color not unlike tortoiseshell glasses, and in my experience, the frames are remarkably durable and yet lightweight.

They also feature oleophobic and hydrophobic coatings to repel oil, spills and water, while the lenses themselves on these stylish men’s sunglasses deliver crucial UV protection (of course).

The AETHER Apparel Sequoia Sunglasses (which are also available in sleek Matte Black, Grey and a cool Blue Tortoise design) update the classic aviator shape in sleek-yet-rugged fashion — these shades are versatile enough to wear with your favorite henley and stretch chino shorts, or else with your best summer suit. And given the price tag of the AETHER Apparel Sequoia Sunglasses (a splurge-worthy $425), I’d wager you’re going to want to wear ’em as much as possible. Get out there and get after it, my friends.

The Friday Read: AETHER Apparel’s Summer Sale, The Best New Sunglasses & Lincoln x Shinola Watches

Best summer sunglasses for men.

My friends, we did it: We made it through another hectic, hot week, so kick back, take a load off and start your weekend in style. One way to do that? With another edition of the Friday Read, and perhaps with a bit of online shopping at a brand famed for making some of the best men’s sunglasses. That brand would be California-based RAEN, makers of some of the coolest sunglasses for men (as sold by Huckberry as well as the brand’s own site, naturally). Not familiar with the company? Consider this your introduction — and my own stylish recommendation for the best sunglasses for men, of course.

Now that we’ve got that sorted out, let’s keep the rest of today’s weekly recap rolling along smoothly. I’ve stayed plenty busy this week writing style content for Maxim (more on that in a second!), not to mention writing about men’s style essentials like the best men’s T-shirt here on the blog. I also made time to see one of my favorite bands play a stunning, high-energy outdoor Brooklyn concert — that’d be Scottish synth pop trio CHVRCHES, and what a show it was!

Perhaps use that band to power your weekend, and of course, consider checking out the style essentials recommended here — including the best sunglasses for men from California-based RAEN — to get your weekend started in fine fashion.

  • Now, here’s a bit of style news you’ll be able to appreciate if you love fine automobiles and stylish men’s watches. New as of today, famed Detroit lifestyle brand Shinola — makers of some of the best watches for men, of course — launched a special set of two limited-edition watches in partnership with Lincoln. The occasion? 100 years of remarkable automobile craftsmanship from Lincoln itself. Both watches should prove more than fitting to wear the next time you hit the road.
  • Over the years, you might recall reading about the technical-yet-stylish menswear purveyors at AETHER Apparel, makers of essential picks like one of the best lightweight sweaters, for instance. Premium gear often comes at a premium price, though, which is why today’s news is even better if you value style and a bargain. The deal in question? Well, the AETHER Apparel Summer Sale is here and running through August 15th, and it’s giving you the chance to get up to 70 percent off the best style gear on the market. Happy shopping, folks.
  • Here’s one I know you’ll appreciate if you, like me, can’t wait to get to your next music festival. With the spirit of dressing for adventure and being ready for anything, I wrote for AskMen about the best boots to wear to your next summer festival. Step out in style and let’s get rocking, my friends.

Now, that ought to just about to do it when it comes to today’s Friday Read. What’s on your weekend agenda and which of the above picks will you be shopping right now? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If it’s stylish menswear you seek, you can’t go wrong with, say, some of the best sunglasses for men from California-based RAEN — among my other favorite picks this week. As always: Thanks for reading and stay stylish!

The Friday Read: The Best Harrington Jackets, A New Buck Mason Shirt and Spring Activewear

Best new Filson gear for spring.

My friends, join me in another edition of the Friday Read as we step into spring in rugged fashion — not unlike that Filson jacket shown above, and not unlike the well-curated New Arrivals section at Filson. From waxed outerwear to lightweight shirts and hard-wearing henleys and T-shirts, I’m sure you’ll find the best new menswear that you need for the season ahead, all thanks to the venerable Pacific Northwest gear outfitter. I’ve definitely got my eye on some new style moves for spring, as crucial a time as any to make sure you’re ready for, well, anything from — from breezy spring days to sports bar beer sipping as you watch March Madness this weekend.

My agenda this weekend mixes both work and play, as I’ll be writing more menswear and gear stories for SPY.com (be sure to check out my byline!), not to mention taking in some long-awaited college basketball action featuring my alma mater, Michigan State! It really doesn’t get any better than that — be sure to follow me on Instagram to keep track of all the fun (and all of my writing work, too!). In the meantime, get into the spirit of the weekend (it’s still St. Patrick’s Day weekend technically, right?) with my picks for the best style reads and sales of the week.

Rugged Western shirt for men.
  • Here’s a great way to start your weekend — by picking up a rugged new Western shirt from Buck Mason, of course. The ideal Western shirt — like the one shown above — is light enough to be worn on its own, yet durable enough to style with one of your favorite T-shirts, and it looks great with black jeans, tan chinos or even olive joggers. Get yours from Buck Mason now.
  • Alright, here’s a standout sale for all your budget-conscious shoppers (guilty as charged). The good folks at elevated performance menswear brand AETHER Apparel are running an End of Season Sale now through March 28th. Click through to get up to 60 percent off men’s gear, jackets, shirting, footwear and more — you won’t regret the savings or the style points.
  • Moving on from rugged menswear, spring is a time to get back out into the world with comfort and style in mind. That’s why it was so neat to write all about the best activewear joggers and jackets over at Maxim — these picks are anything but sloppy, my friends. Upgrade your wardrobe ASAP.

I’ll leave you with one last cherished, helpful style read before heading into the weekend. The Harrington jacket has an illustrious history and plenty of utility and heritage to go along with it. It’s one of my favorite styles of jackets, and that’s why it was so cool to write about the history of Harrington jackets over at Fatherly. Layer up in style, my friends! Cheers!

The Friday Read: The Best Adventure Sunglasses, The Best High-Top Sneakers & New Aether Apparel Gear

Score 25% Off Designer Outerwear From Aether Apparel

Who’s ready to gear up for yet another fall weekend? I’ve got just the brand to help you do that, at least in my estimation. Whether your fall adventures involve a day hike, brunch, college football or yard work (I know, I know), the new Aether Apparel Fall Collection is packed with rugged gear for excursions near and far. These are durable, dependable pieces made with technical fabrics and plenty of style points, always worth adding to your own fall style rotation (call ’em the best fall style essentials if you must). It’s similar to the gear I’ll be wearing as I scout out Brooklyn beers, enjoy some college football and pack for a very exciting getaway early next week (be sure to follow me on Instagram for full details).

Yes indeed, I’ll be hitting the road to Kentucky next week for two days of special events with Horse Soldier Bourbon, as the veteran-founded brand breaks new ground on a distillery and offers up a tour of its current operations. It’s a trip perfectly timed with fall weather and fall whiskey, and I’m ever so grateful for the invite. Of course, I’ll be staying busy in the days before and after writing for sites like Fatherly and AskMen, so check out my bylines there, too. In the meantime, here are some top weekend gear picks from yours truly to keep the season rolling in fine fashion.

  • If you’ve been searching for some of the best adventure sunglasses, the type of sunglasses you can wear on the trail or on a run, and then to a brewery (to name but a few fall pursuits), then Nathan Sports has you covered. The Nathan Sunrise Sunglasses retail for just $50, blend stylish elements like a classic tortoise finish with polarized lenses, and look great for work or play. Don’t sleep on these durable outdoor sunglasses for the season ahead, my friends.
  • Speaking of my work at Fatherly, here’s a story I certainly feel is worth your hard-earned time and cash. The cult favorite basics brand Entireworld, known for its colorful sweats and T-shirts and founded by Scott Sternberg of Band Of Outsiders, is sadly going out of business. Fear not, because you can still score some stellar deals on the best basics, and I wrote all about the best on-sale clothing at Entireworld right now. Happy shopping, folks.
  • The headline says it all in today’s post, but right now truly is the season to step out in some transitional footwear, also known as the best high-top sneakers (in my opinion). Where can you find said sneakers? Why, via my latest roundup for The Manual. Time to step out in style, my friends.

I’ll let you cruise on into the weekend right now with those helpful style tips and shopping picks top of mind, but before I let you go, allow me to make one more recommendation: The best Chelsea boots from Nisolo are going to go a long way towards getting you around town in sustainable style. Read this blog post from yours truly for the full scoop. With all that being said: Enjoy the weekend and thanks for reading!

The Friday Read: Filson New Arrivals, Aether Apparel’s Sale & A Michigan Getaway

My friends, welcome back to another edition of The Friday Read, your guide to the latest and greatest menswear and gear for your weekend. I don’t know about you, but I’ve certainly got rugged menswear top of mind this weekend, and for a couple reasons. In dealing with the heat in NYC and Michigan (as part of a family vacation I’m taking Up North!), I’ve been adding some items from the Filson New Arrivals section to my wish list — I’m not sure about you, but I’m definitely coveting some of the best fall menswear right about now. Do you have any favorites from the venerable Pacific Northwest retailer?

Shop Filson’s New Arrivals

Rugged fall gear awaits you

That brings me to another point, and one that’s especially fitting given the Filson heritage of making durable outdoor gear. I’ve got some essentials packed with me this weekend to head “Up North,” as we call the northern Lower Peninsula of my home state of Michigan. It’s my first time back in a year, and quite a bit has changed since on, well, all fronts. I can’t wait to see family (and some college friends prior to that!), and I’ll be outfitted the right way all the while (head to Filson to outfit yourself for the season ahead, while we’re here). Beyond that, I’ll highlight a few of my favorite seasonal picks below. And one last word to the wise: If you prefer your menswear shopping with a side of music and craft beer, as I do, then I’d head over to my music-menswear-craft beer newsletter, The Style Guide In Brief, which features a bit of all three (and Saturday’s will take a look at the new album from The Killers. one of my favorite bands, in particular). The choice is all yours, but I don’t think you can go wrong. In the meantime, here’s the rest of your Friday Read. Cheers!

The List: Shop for the Best New Spring Style Essentials from Aether Apparel  | The Style Guide
  • Now, it’s not every day that one of the best menswear sales comes around. And it’s not every single day that Aether Apparel, makers of some of the best rugged performance menswear out there, drops a sale that’ll make you sit up and take notice. The brand, which I talked about here in a piece on the best men’s gear for spring, is offering up to 60 percent off jackets, sweaters, vests, tees, pants, bags, and more for men (and women), now through August 15th. It’s a sale packed with quality essentials that’s truly not to be missed. Start shopping!

Score great deals on the best menswear
  • Speaking of great deals on great gear, how’s this for one of the best new menswear collections around? Just as we talked about earlier with Filson, it’s high time to start planning, slowly but surely, for early fall. Head over to Grayers, makers of classic chinos, tailored Oxford shirts and super-soft flannel shirts, to get some of the best early fall gear right now. It’s hard to pass up rugged henleys, easy-to-layer shirting and timeless chinos, right? There’s no wrong way to go with Grayers New Arrivals, in my opinion.
  • Speaking of rugged henleys, here’s yet another way to outfit yourself in style this season. Over at Fatherly, a really great parenting and lifestyle site for new dads and guys of any age, I wrote all about the best henleys for early fall from some of my favorite brands, including Buck Mason and seven other standout favorites. Shop accordingly, my friends.

Add a prime fall layer to your closet

So, that’s where we’ll leave things in today’s Friday Read — that gives you more than enough time to shop for the weekend, does it not? I’ll give you one last recommendation before Friday kicks off in earnest. You’re going to want to keep your grooming on-point from summer into fall, and you should do that by checking out my guide to the best natural deodorant from American Provenance over in this blog post. Keep it classy and sharp, folks. Thanks for reading, and be sure to check out tomorrow’s Style Pick of the Week!

The Thursday Buy: Bundle up for Early Spring With One of the Best Men’s Sweaters From Aether Apparel

Aether Apparel Jersey Long-Sleeve Crew

Your new favorite sweater for spring from Aether Apparel.

If you thought it was high time you stowed away your rotation of men’s sweaters, I’d urge you to reconsider (if only briefly). In today’s Thursday Buy, after all, we’ve got the perfect piece to bridge the gap between winter and spring, and it just so happens to be the phenomenal Aether Apparel Jersey Long-Sleeve Crew. It’s a highly refined, functional and versatile layering essential, and it’s also one of the best sweaters for men I’ve seen in some time. It’s going to be the last sweater you buy for a while, too (it’s priced at $165 at Aether Apparel), but the brand gets plenty right when it comes to crafting the best menswear essentials for plenty of seasonal style.

The Aether Apparel Jersey Long-Sleeve Crew draws its heritage and quality from the very roots of the Aether Apparel brand, as it were. Aether Apparel was born on the West Coast in 2009, founded by two city dwellers looking for functional, utilitarian-yet-stylish gear to help them get around (and eventually, out of) the city. That city? Aether Apparel was founded in L.A., to be exact — the brand’s headquarters to this day. As they say, Aether is focused on durable, premium gear for “urban-dwelling, design-focused, well-traveled men and women,” but when it comes to one of the best men’s sweaters — to name but one example — this is a brand for everyone.

SHOP: The Aether Apparel Jersey Long-Sleeve Crew

Aether Apparel men's gear

Talk about one of the coolest men’s sweaters, complete with some functional detailing.

It’s that critical blend of technical, premium fabrics that gives pieces like the Aether Apparel Jersey Long-Sleeve Crew that critical versatility, the chance to go from the city to the trail (the hills above Los Angeles, perhaps?) and back. In this case, one of the best sweaters for men starts out with the proper fabric, a 100 percent cotton-jersey knit that should prove easy to layer atop your favorite T-shirt, a technical dress shirt or a classic Oxford shirt in equal measure. This is an on-the-go sweater (available in neutral colors like Stoker Red and Darkest Spruce Green) that you can throw on easily underneath everything from a waxed trucker jacket to a well-worn denim jacket, too.

How’s that for spring style that doesn’t miss a beat? The front chest pocket, with notched corner detailing (a signature from the brand), is distinctive and makes this stylish men’s sweater easier to wear all on its own, too. The split hem detailing is also a unique touch that helps the Aether Apparel Jersey Long-Sleeve Crew stand out quietly. Whether you make this a go-to casual weekend sweater for days at home or you choose to layer it up on a day hike, the Aether Apparel Jersey Long-Sleeve Crew is your new favorite sweater for spring — I can nearly guarantee it.
