Summertime style is often all about solutions, about solving a menswear problem of sorts, so to speak: Staying cool in the heat without sacrificing style points, putting your best foot forward in comfortable summer footwear, packing up the right gear to head to the beach or the lake. And one solution for casual, easygoing style that still looks polished and versatile?

Opting for a pair of the best linen shorts for men, a reliable solution in the heat when it might feel a bit too hot for traditional stretch cotton chino shorts (and yes, there are certainly days where it feels too hot even for that fairly lightweight fabric). So when in doubt, reach for a stylish set of shorts like the ones shown above, as the Flint and Tinder Drawstring Shorts meet the moment in matters of form and function — would you expect anything less from Huckberry?

Best swim trunks for men to wear now.

My friends, welcome to Memorial Day weekend as we gear up in proper fashion (with functionality in mind!) for the start of a summer that’s rapidly heating up. Fear not, though: There’s still ample time to stock up on the best men’s style essentials for summer, and there are a few keys to keep in mind as you build out your perfect summer #OOTD.

And yes, while the basics might be quite simple for summer — a well-made T-shirt, some of the best men’s sunglasses, breezy sandals or loafers and of course, a pair of the best swim trunks — it’s more important than ever that quality remains a focus. Of course, as you scour the pages of this blog on the regular, you know it’s more doable than ever, thanks to the good folks at Huckberry.

Find your new favorite summer gear favorites at Huckberry

The retailer looks to the classics for rugged appeal and timeless style (like the chambray shirt or the chino short), and that includes its summer-friendly lineup designed by Flint and Tinder. The collection draws from old-school looks made for hours at the beach or by the pool, or perhaps at the cabana bar or on the water — from trucker hats to hybrid shorts, if you can dream it up, Huckberry’s got it covered (but you certainly already knew that, right?).

While I’d wager you’ve got a selection of Flint and Tinder waxed jackets in your rotation for the colder months, don’t sleep on the laidback style delivered by the Flint and Tinder Spring/Summer 2026 Collection — from easygoing knit polos to stretch chino shorts and the Flint and Tinder Basin Swim Trunks, it’s arguably never been easier to pack for your next summer getaway or to hit the beach without too much fuss.

And if you got caught a bit flat-footed in scoring a new pair of swim trunks ahead of the season at hand, take good care in knowing there are still stylish swim trunks aplenty for the taking at Huckberry, the Flint and Tinder Basin Swim Trunks included. In a nod to 1960s and ’70s swim trunks, these feature a shorter 6-inch inseam and a 100 percent nylon build for quick-drying capability.

A power stretch mesh liner offers support within these stylish swim trunks, which also come in a helpful array of eye-catching colors and patterns both classic and more, well eye-catching (look for the Beach Print or the Olive Cowboy Print).

The adjustable drawcord elastic waistband ensures both a secure fit and comfort (unlike, say, boardshorts, which boast a wider waistband often sans elastic), while the Flint and Tinder Basin Swim Trunks also feature an internal bungee cord front pocket to secure your keys and your everyday carry.

Huckberry notes the quick-drying fabric and shorter cut of the Flint and Tinder Basin Swim Trunks provides versatility and laidback summer looks off the trail, and performance on the trail as you hike on out to your favorite watering hole.

There are times when grab-and-go style is of value — when you want to throw on something seemingly simple yet stylish and utterly comfortable. In recent years, that’s where the Johnny collar polo — a polo sans buttons yet boasting the typical form of one of the best men’s polos — has come into play this time around, and the good folks at Huckberry know just what they’re doing in offering up a solid, agreeable and affordable take on a newfound favorite.

It’s got plenty of retro style going for it, with the build and complexion of something that, say, Don Draper might wear in “Mad Men” (the show, after all, is having a resurgence now that it can regularly be viewed on streaming platforms, ehh?).

Guilty as charged when it comes to the throwback nature of wearing one of the best polos for men, and the same sense of fashion and expert, sharp and yet effortless good looks can certainly be yours when you add the latest from the Flint and Tinder Spring 2026 Collection — the Flint and Tinder Towel Terry Cloth Polo — to your rotation, my friends.

If you ask me, the Flint and Tinder Towel Terry Cloth Polo has all the makings of an easygoing new style favorite, as suitable for wearing to the pool alongside tailored swim trunks as with lightweight stretch chinos and leather loafers. Like we said earlier, the Flint and Tinder Towel Terry Cloth Polo boasts the same hallmarks as a leisurely polo shirt, sans the buttons at the collar, complete with a chest pocket for classic visual appeal.

The midweight knit (available in two wear-with-anything colorways) should prove comfortable on hot and balmy beach days, while the tailored-yet-versatile fit should prove accessible, rather than overly baggy or overly tight.

When the call of a breezy day on the water beckons, I’d wager that the Flint and Tinder Towel Terry Cloth Polo — in both its stylish colorways — should more than serve its purpose as a retro style favorite made modern (very modern, indeed). Cheers to the season at hand, and wearing one of the best polos for men to take it all in.

How often do you reach for the true classics in your wardrobe? The pieces that you wear without even thinking about, so to speak? In fact, when you start to sort through the menswear essentials in your wardrobe, I’d wager you’re wearing a slew of timeless menswear staples more often than you might even consider — from the white T-shirt to the denim shirt, the trucker jacket, the reliable blue jean or simply one of the best crewneck sweatshirts (as shown above!), there’s a straightforward yet stylish way of being when it comes to the best and longest-lasting gear for men.

And yes, as you might have guessed by the headline, the Huckberry sweatshirt from our good friends at Flint and Tinder has it all, and then some. The crewneck sweatshirt has athletic roots and a streak of modern performance as a casually cool layering move, made all the better when worn beneath a denim trucker jacket or layered accordingly over a breezy long-sleeve T-shirt beside a spring or summer bonfire.

And when the crewneck in question is the on-sale Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Crewneck Sweatshirt, I’d say you’ve hit the proverbial #menswear jackpot as far as laidback yet reliable style is concerned.

And helpfully and fashionably, in a stylish nod to throwback athletic designs, Huckberry notes that “Flint and Tinder honors the original crewneck design with a reinforced, triangular stitch pattern along the collar” and a garment-dyed 100 percent cotton build. The specs hold up to repeat, rugged wear, whether paired with light wash jeans or stretch chinos, while raglan-sleeve stitching delivers a further nod to heritage-quality design and style.

Best crewneck sweatshirts for men.

Another winning move by Huckberry? When the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Crewneck Sweatshirt is fully stocked up, it comes in a whopping 10 colors to suit every sense of style. At least in my experience, colors like Heather Grey or a crisp Navy might prove most versatile, but Washed Black could prove just as intriguing in terms of casually cool good looks when worn alongside olive chinos or cargo pants.

The choice truly is yours when it comes to the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Crewneck Sweatshirt — timeless good looks and classic durability are up for grabs as you layer up on cool spring and summer nights.

Style in the heat has never looked so good, or been so easy — at least, that’s my experience wearing Huckberry, my friends.
