The Sunday Sale: Save 30 Percent on Menswear Classics with the Billy Reid Summer Event

This Sunday, it’s like I always tend to say here on the blog: The chance to score menswear essentials on sale, and pieces you can wear right now and for years to come, isn’t an opportunity to pass up.

If ever you’ve read the blog, and if ever you’ve shopped the enviable assortment of stylish menswear at Billy Reid, from classic chinos to one of the best men’s peacoats to one of the best men’s shirts, you know that certainly holds true.

But here’s a little something else worth keeping an eye on right away: The Billy Reid Summer Event, which runs into next week and offers the chance to save 30 percent on select styles from the famed Alabama-based menswear designer.

A little bit of everything, from the Billy Reid Tuscumbia Shirt (a certified classic) to a rugged Billy Reid trucker jacket tailor-made for breezy nights this summer. Bear in mind that the Billy Reid Summer Event only runs until this coming Thursday, June 29th, so it’s in your best interest to strike while the iron’s hot and save big money on stylish summer menswear.

The Thursday Buy: Billy Reid’s Hybrid Swim Shorts Are the Go-Anywhere Pair to Wear All Summer

These days, it seems everything in your wardrobe of menswear essentials serves a dual purpose, and that’s not a bad thing. In my experience, the more versatile your favorite pieces can be, the better. That goes for your chambray shirt (either a rugged shirt jacket or a stylish swerve with a blazer), as well as more beach-ready pieces.

Take the Billy Reid Moore Hybrid Swim Shorts. They look like a standard pair of classic chino shorts — the kind you might wear with a stylish denim shirt from the famed Alabama designer — but there’s so much more to them than meets the eye.

Learn more now at Billy Reid

You’ll find them, first and foremost, in the always well-stocked Billy Reid New Arrivals section, and that’s where our journey (and your journey to finding your new favorite swim trunks — or shorts!) begins.

With the Billy Reid Moore Hybrid Swim Shorts, it all comes down to the fabric. That fabric, of course, is a 100 percent quick-drying nylon material, yet from afar, these stylish hybrid shorts look like, well, classic chino shorts. They’ve even got sharp details like a flap coin pocket at the waist, not to mention side slant pockets for a clean and dressy look.

Plus, the Billy Reid Moore Hybrid Swim Shorts come in a cool textured black pattern, or a more classic khaki. If you want to lean more closely into the timeless stylings of chino shorts, opt for khaki. If not, opt for the patterned black option — yet, there’s really no wrong way to go with the Billy Reid Moore Hybrid Swim Shorts.

Shop Billy Reid menswear now

The great thing is, these stylish hybrid shorts pair up as easily with a USA-made T-shirt as they do with your favorite linen shirt from Billy Reid. As the designer says, from the beach to the bar, you’re covered with these dependable-as-can-be shorts.

See Now, Buy Now: Step Out This Spring with This Classic Billy Reid Linen Shirt

When you really get down to it, you need workhorse pieces (true spring style essentials, indeed!) in your wardrobe that can move seamlessly from day to night, especially if you’re still getting in the mindset of heading back to the office (again). What’s a guy to do? Easy enough: Head over to a trusted retailer like Billy Reid, and look for something easygoing yet polished, especially in the realm of stylish men’s shirting.

Shop Billy Reid men’s shirts now

The Billy Reid Tuscumbia Shirt is already a certified modern classic, and it just got even better: Namely, the Billy Reid Tuscumbia Linen Shirt takes the timeless silhouette, does it up in breezy linen, then sets you on the path to effortlessly cool spring and summer style. How about it, ehh?

Sounds like a plan to me, and because it’s Billy Reid (one of the country’s best menswear designers!), you’re getting quite the value for the price — sure, the Billy Reid Tuscumbia Linen Shirt retails for $198, but trust me when I say it’s worth it.

The build of the Billy Reid Tuscumbia Linen Shirt is, of course, 100 percent linen for plenty of lightweight breathability this season, and it’s also been garment-dyed for an even more laidback, breezy look. Mother of pearl buttons round out the Billy Reid Tuscumbia Linen Shirt in luxe fashion, while the brand’s signature ribbon placket detail is a nice touch that looks quite cool when this shirt is worn untucked (in my humble opinion!).

For good measure, the Billy Reid Tuscumbia Linen Shirt comes in a range of vibrant and classic colors, all the better to add a little flair to your spring and summer wardrobe (especially when you pair this stylish linen shirt with classic Billy Reid jeans or crisply cut trousers).

Because this well-tailored shirt is a pricier pick-up than other classic buttondown shirts, I’d wear it underneath a tailored cotton blazer at the office, and then out on the weekend with off-white jeans or chinos. Get the most out of your return to polished dressing this season, and your wardrobe will reward you in spades.

Style Pick of the Week: Billy Reid Mo Shirt Jacket – Save 20% for Black Friday and Cyber Monday

When the opportunity comes up to shop and save on some of the best menswear on the market, there’s no time to waste — strike while the iron is hot to get the best deals on your favorite menswear brands, yes? And when one of those brands is a refined retailer that doesn’t often discount its top styles — a brand like Billy Reid, for instance — it’s all the more important. So, let’s dive into today’s Style Pick of the Week.

Menswear deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday abound, but the discount up for grabs at Billy Reid is worth your time and hard-earned cash. You can get 20 percent off orders of $400 or more, 30 percent off orders of $800 or more, and yes, 40 percent off orders of more than $1,200. Sure, that’s quite a hefty chunk of change to drop, but allow me to present one of the best men’s shirt jackets for consideration all the same.

The Billy Reid Mo Shirt Jacket, normally $498, is a rare weekly style pick in the pages of this blog that’s actually on sale, and on sale only for a very limited time. Like I said, pay close attention to plentiful deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday in the menswear space, and you’ll be rewarded handsomely. In fact, the Billy Reid Mo Shirt Jacket is worthy of buying at full price — it’s the perfect go-between in place of a blazer, given its luxe design — but that 20% discount is too good to pass up.

Crucially, the Billy Reid Mo Shirt Jacket is made from an exceedingly handsome, warm wool blend in a rich color that wears well with a pair of the best men’s blue jeans or else, with burgundy corduroys and some of the best wingtip boots (to name but one outfit idea).

The Billy Reid Mo Shirt Jacket also has plenty of other stylish design details in the mix, including the use of embossed leather under the collar, plus a leather locker loop. And for good measure, yes, your new favorite shirt jacket is now 20 percent off at Billy Reid. Do yourself a favor, shop some of the best men’s style deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and then thank me later. Cheers and thanks for reading!

The Thursday Buy: This Billy Reid Cotton Henley is One of the Best Casual Shirts for Fall

Now that we’re — very nearly — into October, hopefully, you’ve got a rotation of some of the best fall style essentials all sorted out. But there’s always room for more when shopping the right way, agreed? That’s where Alabama-based menswear designer Billy Reid enters the equation. The designer is a personal favorite of your Brooklyn style writer for his modern approach to the classics, blending rugged and refined the right way — as with the Billy Reid Cotton Lous Henley, easily one of the best henleys for men on the market this fall.

The Billy Reid Sueded Cotton Louis Henley is a perfect example of what the award-winning designer does best. That approach? Using premium materials to take a tried-and-true classic like one of the best men’s henleys and ramping things up a notch in terms of quality. Billy Reid did the same thing with one of the best men’s Western shirts this season, to be sure, and the Billy Reid Louis Henley does that just as well.

Crucially, this stylish henley for men is made in Peru from 100 percent cotton, for the sort of layering potential that works underneath a classic Billy Reid shirt — or else a flannel shirt jacket or even one of the best men’s waxed jackets. The four-button placket on your new favorite henley is also a cool design touch that gives this shirt a bit more of a refined feel — you could certainly wear it with one of the best fall blazers, too.

The rest of the time though, this rugged men’s henley is essential, well-designed, very well-made and certainly worth the higher price tag (it retails for $128 at Billy Reid). Better still is the fact that one of the best henleys for men comes in a wide variety of wear-with-anything colors. You’ve just found your new favorite casual shirt for fall and winter, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: The Huckberry x Billy Reid Dover Hoodie Is Your Next Wardrobe Upgrade

There are certain style essentials you might think you’ve got covered in your wardrobe, like one of the best hooded sweatshirts. But what if I told you there’s always a chance to step things up a bit in a way that’s super-premium and super-unexpected in terms of design and quality? Yes indeed, that’s what we’re all about here at The Style Guide, and that’s the very idea behind the standout new Billy Reid x Huckberry Dover Hoodie, an absurdly cool, extremely well-made and highly stylish hooded sweatshirt for fall.

Sure, we might currently be in the depths of August, but by the time autumn rolls around, you’ll already have your new favorite hooded sweatshirt on lock – and my oh my, what a hooded sweatshirt you’ll have on hand for breezy fall days. It makes perfect sense that the good folks at Huckberry and Billy Reid would team up on a premium update to a laidback style staple.

After all, Huckberry specializes in rugged-yet-versatile menswear for nearly any occasion, and Billy Reid focuses on fresh updates to American classics.

In that sense, the Billy Reid x Huckberry Dover Hoodie hits the mark perfectly. Sure, it’s got the same look and feel as your go-to weekend hoodie, but with plenty of design touches that make it so cool, you could even wear it to the office on a casual Friday — yes, seriously. Of course, it goes without saying that the handsome elbow patches and leather pull tab detailing set the Billy Reid x Huckberry Dover Hoodie apart from the pack in a major way, and it only gets better from there.

The Billy Reid x Huckberry Dover Hoodie is made from soft, super-comfortable terry fabric, complete with herringbone twill detailing for a classic Billy Reid touch. Beyond that, it should prove easy to layer the Billy Reid x Huckberry Dover Hoodie atop everything from a classic long-sleeve tee to an Oxford shirt for a touch of high-low, office ready style.

To be clear, the Billy Reid x Huckberry Dover Hoodie is a splurge at just a shade under $250 ($248, to be exact), but either the timeless Dark Midnight or Grey color options will prove endlessly versatile this fall. When you want to shop the best hoodie for men on the market, look no further than the Billy Reid x Huckberry Dover Hoodie — it’s as easy as that.

See Now, Buy Now: The Billy Reid Pensacola Polo Is the Coolest Men’s Polo to Buy Now

When you find a brand that does one thing extremely well — or rather, in the case of Billy Reid, at least one thing extremely well — it’s more than worth it to return to that same brand consistently, right? And if the challenge in question involves making style essentials that feel casual and laidback, yet still polished and versatile, Alabama-based Billy Reid is perhaps the brand to shop now. That’s particularly the case with the Billy Reid Pensacola Polo, which just so happens to be one of Billy Reid’s Bestsellers.

It checks all the proper boxes as you shop for one of the best polos for men, from the dressy yet still easygoing four-button placket to the use of soft, breezy organic cotton. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that one of the best men’s polos comes in versatile, goes-with-anything colorways like Washed Grey and Navy, which you can wear with everything from Billy Reid chinos to stretch cotton shorts.

And while the Billy Reid Pensacola Polo is pricier than your average polo — it clocks in at $98 — it’s a worthwhile pick-up you can absolutely rock the rest of summer. Sounds like quite the purchase to start your week, if you ask me.

Best men's short-sleeve shirt for summer.

Plus, the Billy Reid Short-Sleeve Tuscumbia Shirt features both a rich blue colorway and a nice, visually striking pattern, the kind you can use to break subtle, classic chinos, dark blue jeans or navy chino shorts nicely.

And yes, it bears repeating that the Billy Reid Short-Sleeve Tuscumbia Shirt features a classic, regular fit — and again, it’s 30 percent off. It sounds to me like you’ve found your new favorite shirt for the rest of summer.
