Style Pick of the Week: Faherty Brand Shorelite Trunks – The Perfect Pair of Beach-Ready Men’s Swim Trunks

The surf’s up this summer, or at least, it is in my neck of the woods — has there been a better time to hit the beach in style than right now, particularly when wearing a set of the best swim trunks for men? That’s why we’re here on this fine summer Saturday, with a world of potential getaways, coastal hangs and days at the pool still in front us — and that’s where our good friends at Faherty Brand can deliver the goods when it comes to one of the best swimsuits for guys.

As well-known for its buttery-soft, hard-wearing flannel shirts, shirt jackets and expertly cut henleys in the fall and winter months, it makes perfect sense that the coastally inspired, New York-based Faherty would offer up some finely crafted swim trunks for men. The Faherty Brand Shorelite Trunks get plenty of details big and small correct in terms of design, effortlessly cool looks and even a dash of crucial performance.

And trust me: When it comes to getting out there the rest of summer, you need a dash of all three — and then some.

The Faherty Brand Shorelite Trunks — available in an array of 10 patterns and colors to suit every sense of style — are outfitted with plenty of bells and whistles, making them the brand’s most technical set of swim trunks yet.

The technical specs kick off in fine fashion with a comfortable, breathable compression liner for a secure fit and critical support, while the quick-drying, lightweight performance fabric is not unlike the fabric found on your favorite gym shorts.

Those features give your new favorite pair of swim trunks some serious versatility for coastal adventures, day hikes to a secluded stream and even sunset lounging (note the just-right 7-inch inseam on the Faherty Brand Shorelite Trunks, after all. A left-side zipper pocket nicely accents two side slash pockets and one back welt pocket, while the compression liner even boasts an interior media pocket to secure your everyday carry essentials on the go.

The Faherty Brand Shorelite Trunks also feature a gusseted crotch for even greater ease of movement, plus a side split hem on either side — Faherty Brand truly thought of everything when developing some of the best men’s swim trunks out there.

With a comfortable elastic drawcord waistband and a wear-with-anything 7-inch inseam, the versatility of the Faherty Brand Shorelite Trunks is nearly unmatched, with plenty of style points up for grabs via 10 vibrant color and pattern options. The beach is calling, and you’ve now got the perfect trunks for your next getaway.

See Now, Buy Now: This Sunwashed Polo from Faherty Brand Is The Breezy Upgrade You Need This Summer

Building a successful and stylish menswear wardrobe means options are crucial, as we often say — and that certainly holds true for selections that bridge the gap between casual style and laidback, leisurely pursuits.

So, while a selection of stylish men’s T-shirts gets the job done for off-duty hangs, for instance, what about when you want that crucial sense of polish and style in a fashion that’s just a bit more elevated? Well, my friends, that’s why we’re here today — to talk about one of the best polo shirts for men, the right sort of style to step things up ever so slightly without overdoing it.

And as seems to be the case most times these days as you scour the market for the best summer style essentials, Huckberry and Faherty Brand have just what you need.

Family-owned Faherty Brand was founded with inspiration and roots along the coast of New York, and its breezy yet durable array of menswear (especially its ultra-soft flannel shirts and sweater-shirt jackets) holds true to that approach.

These are selections that are particularly at home on and near the water. Past Faherty Brand reviews on this blog have tended to cover its winter menswear, but let’s shift to something more lightweight as the thermostat climbs, shall we?

And that brings us to the Faherty Brand Sunwashed Polo, an undisputed style staple for soft comfort and casually cool good looks. The Faherty Brand Sunwashed Polo is also a best-seller at Huckberry, which is saying something given that the Americana retailer has plenty of selections that are fan favorites (including Flint and Tinder’s own lineup of summer-approved polo shirts).

The Faherty Brand Sunwashed Polo, on the other hand, takes a slightly more laidback approach without losing any of its versatility: 100 percent organic cotton gets what the brand calls an ozone wash for plenty of softness, while the three-button spread collar is an expert style move.

This handsome polo comes in two eye-catching striped options, and one variation of the Faherty Brand Sunwashed Polo takes its cues from iconic Breton stripe T-shirts. And for just under $100, you’re getting a classically minded polo shirt that’s as easily wearable with stretch chino shorts as it is with linen trousers or stretch chino pants.

For effortlessly cool style, for classic good looks and for plenty of soft comfort, the Faherty Brand Sunwashed Polo is a surefire style upgrade when you want to toe the line between luxe and leisurely. Add it to your style rotation ASAP, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: This Classic Faherty Chambray Shirt Can Be Yours for 35 Percent off at Huckberry

Best men's chambray shirts.

We talk often on this Brooklyn menswear blog about versatile men’s style essentials that can be worn just about anywhere, any time — the sort of picks that can also be found on sale, if you keep a weather eye on the horizon and strike while the iron is hot.

And so it goes with perusing the always well-stocked Huckberry Sale section, which is packed with a slew of iconic pieces from seasons past — plus the type of selections, like one of the best chambray shirts for men — that can be worn this very instant.

Call it the sweet spot in the world of men’s style, and that’s what makes the always-classic, never-out-of-style Faherty Brand Tried and True Chambray Shirt such a steal right now. On this fine Sunday (and beyond), you can find one of the best men’s chambray shirts for about 35 percent off via Huckberry, with the utility to carry you into fall quite handsomely.

It’s a classic take on the chambray shirt, made even better by its slightly more polished buttondown collar design, plus a tailored fit via tapered sleeves and a tapered waist. This Faherty Brand men’s shirt is a shirt that’s just as at home beneath your favorite blazer as it is atop a stylish men’s henley, and that’s wearability and versatility I can assuredly get behind.

And with its current discount via the Huckberry Sale section, you can find it for close to $100 — in my experience, Faherty men’s shirts (and indeed, most any shirt sold by Huckberry) are well worth the investment either way.

The fabric should prove soft and supple yet durable, the utility with its chest pocket (and a fit that looks great tucked or untucked) is next-level, and the savings are top-notch, at least in my book. Close out your weekend the right way with a tried-and-true must-have, pun very much intended.

The Sunday Sale: Save 20 Percent on these Stylish Corduroy Pants from Faherty Brand

Faherty Brand corduroy pants review.

Shifting ever so slightly from season to season, as in stepping from late summer into early fall, requires some careful consideration of color, texture and style. Now, there’s no need to overthink your fall style essentials, at least in my experience, but some slight shifts are welcome, and the good folks at Faherty Brand can help.

So, where you might rock a pair of light wash denim or chino shorts in the summer, a pair of the best men’s corduroy pants are a reliable go-between as you bridge the gap between seasons. Still with me?

Good, great, grand, because the Faherty Brand Stretch Corduroy Pants are precisely the pair you need in your fall menswear rotation, and I’ve got even better news: They’re on sale for 20 percent off right now, making them a very wise choice indeed for today’s Sunday Sale offering.

The Faherty Brand Stretch Corduroy Pants carry on the brand’s reliable legacy of casually cool staples, pieces that are suitable for business casual looks but more readily wearable at a weekend brewery outing, at a dinner party or on an upstate seasonal getaway. Again, the best corduroy pants do it all, with rich fall colors, plus texture and easygoing style to match.

Faherty Brand Stretch Corduroy Pants.

Four colors of the ever-versatile Faherty Brand Stretch Corduroy Pants are on sale right now, from rich Raw Umber to Washed Black, and it helps that these stylish men’s corduroy pants are built more like five-pocket pants or jeans than dress pants (dress pants would typically feature slant side hip pockets).

The fit is tailored but not overly slim, and as you can see here, the Faherty Brand Stretch Corduroy Pants can be styled with everything from tough Blundstone boots to sleek leather Chelsea boots. Throw in the fact that they’re on sale, they’re well-made and built to last, and they feature plenty of stretch — you might have just found your new favorite pair of fall pants, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: These Faherty Brand Stretch Five-Pocket Pants are as Versatile As It Gets

Best five-pocket pants for men.

A reliable twist on the classics is sometimes a welcome change of pace, especially as you look for menswear essentials to carry you from late summer into early fall. I can hardly think of a better option for the days ahead than the Faherty Brand Stretch Terry Pants, a fresh take on the five-pocket pant that manages to be more dressy than your favorite jeans, and yet more laidback than chinos.

They’re the best of both worlds, as you’ll often find with Faherty Brand (sold reliably by my friends at Huckberry, of course).

The company specializes in ultra-soft, expertly crafted flannel shirts and Oxford shirting, not to mention classic T-shirts, shorts and hoodies — all with coastal flair and most featuring soft garment-dyed or washed finishes for a casually cool touch.

The Faherty Stretch Terry Five-Pocket Pants get all the details right, from metal rivet-reinforced pockets to a classic slim-straight leg cut that wears well with rugged leather boots or crisp leather sneakers (look for earth tones in both pants and footwear to really drive home that early fall aesthetic.

The stretch fabric (a terry cotton, for good measure) should feel comfortable no matter what, and in my experience, I’ve found that Faherty Brand pants and chinos hold their shape and durability over time.

It helps that your new favorite pants are also available in a wide range of colors to suit every taste and style, and waist sizes in some colors run up to size 42. So, you’ve got effortlessly versatile pants made from durable fabric, featuring rugged-yet-refined appeal for early fall pursuits more casual (brewery beers, anyone?) and more crisp (a day at the office). Sounds like these are a surefire winner in any season, but especially right now.

Faherty Brand men's shorts.

By this point in the summer, you very well might feel you’ve exhausted your options as far as the best summer style essentials go. After all, there’s only so many times you can reach for one of the best men’s T-shirts or even a pair of the best men’s shorts without it all feeling a bit routine, right?

I’m here to tell you that’s not always the case, especially if you shop one of my favorite brands of the moment: The good folks at Faherty Brand have delivered perhaps your new favorite pair of shorts, with just enough stylish tweaks to make ’em feel fresh, breezy and utterly cool.

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.

Comfort and variety remain the name of the game when it comes to these stylish cord shorts, which are just different enough from modern chino shorts to add some fresh style to your wardrobe — yes, even in the summer heat. Happy shopping out there, my friends.

The Friday Read: The Best Faherty Menswear, A New Tag Heuer Watch & Your New Summer Pants

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines as we race into another fine summer weekend. I’m back in Brooklyn after what proved to be a momentous Memorial Day back in the Midwest — Indiana, to be more specific, for the one and only Indianapolis 500 with Tag Heuer. And what a weekend it was! Astonishing and memorable doesn’t begin to cover it.

The trip was part of my many freelance writing pursuits, which includes covering new watches from Tag Heuer (and plenty more, as you know if you follow me on Instagram!). For the time being, I’m back in Brooklyn and looking forward to a touch of downtime this weekend as I work on stories for Maxim.com (among other outlets, of course!).

Along the way, I’ll be wearing one of my new favorite shirts from Faherty Brand, the fast-growing, NYC-based menswear brand that’s making a splash in the world of versatile, casual everyday style. I’ve been a fan of Faherty Brand for years, as you’ll see below, but consider giving the brand a look to roll into your weekend (in my experience, I’ve found that Faherty men’s shirts are super-soft and well-fitting).

For now, let’s dive into that brand specifically to start the weekend off the proper way — with a few other menswear updates to follow. Cheers and thanks for reading!

  • Now, I just nodded toward my love of Faherty Brand above — let’s take that just a touch deeper, shall we? In fact, I got an even better look at what makes the ever-popular Faherty Brand tick, as I covered my five favorite essentials of the moment over at Fatherly. Its stretch chinos, ultra-soft T-shirts and expertly cut buttondowns are rugged in terms of looks, but super-comfortable in terms of feel, and that’s a balance I can get behind. Read more at Fatherly and see for yourself.

  • Sure, the good folks at Faherty Brand offer up plenty of stylish menswear for summer, but allow me to recommend another brand I think you’ll enjoy if you love mixing style and performance this season. You can view that brand above here briefly: That’s Western Rise, the Colorado-based outfitter that mixes durable performance fabrics with modern silhouettes, like its abrasion and stain-resistant, stretchy five-pocket pants. They blend the look of a chino with the durability and rugged appeal of the best hiking pants, and you can read more about the Western Rise Evolution Pants here in this recent Western Rise review by yours truly.
  • I just mentioned that I also had the chance to visit the Indianapolis 500 with Tag Heuer, but that’s not all. Across the pond & within the luxe confines of Monaco, Tag Heuer sponsored the iconic Monaco Grand Prix last weekend — for good measure, they released three new watches to celebrate 80 years of the race, and I wrote about all three over at Maxim. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines, indeed.

Style Pick of the Week: Faherty Brand Tried And True Shirt – An All-Time Style Classic

Best men's denim shirt for summer.

If you’re anything like me, perhaps you appreciate menswear styles that stand the test of time, that tend to look good from season to season and year to year, and even era to era. Take one of the best denim shirts for men — or in this case, one of the best indigo shirts for men, made from an innovative, modern fabric blend.

The shirt in question today is the Faherty Tried and True Shirt, released to celebrate the easygoing, coastal style-meets-rugged-classics appeal of the New York City brand’s 10th anniversary. And if you ask me, this shirt (a new favorite and possibly one of the best men’s shirts for summer) lives up to its name, and then some.

Faherty seems to rise to the occasion in multiple seasons, be it making a breezy knit shirt as one of the best men’s shirts for spring, or else going a touch more rugged with waxed outerwear, or a touch more versatile with stylish stretch chinos. And quite literally true to its name, the Faherty Tried and True Shirt is another fine addition to the brand’s stable of casual, laidback yet crisp shirts, shorts and chinos.

It starts with the light blue Vintage Indigo color, but the aforementioned modern fabric — a blend of Tencel and linen for stretch and breathability — helps things along quite nicely.

Best denim shirt for men.

Four-hole urea buttons add a touch of contrast to the Faherty Tried and True Shirt, but it’s that soft wash that’s going to make all the difference this summer. It should prove comfortable enough to wear on its own, sleeves rolled up alongside your favorite pair of chinos at the office, but the Faherty Tried and True Shirt really excels in more easygoing yet classic situations.

Take the Faherty Tried and True Shirt for a spin with classic dark blue jeans for a timeless combo on cooler spring and summer nights, or wear this handsome indigo shirt atop a classic graphic tee or pocket T-shirt for days on the water. The thing is, with a comfortable and casually cool shirt like the Faherty Tried and True Shirt, you can do just about anything — as long as you add it to your wardrobe starting this weekend.

If you end up picking up this shirt, let me know in the comments — stay stylish, and thanks for reading!
