The Sunday Sale: Save on this Classic-Meets-Modern Flint and Tinder Polo from Huckberry

I’m all about versatile men’s style essentials that deliver the unexpected in evermore different, fresh ways. Of course, in my experience, you can count on Huckberry to design and ship classic menswear with a modern twist, like one of the best polos for men — one that wears, fits and feels more like a T-shirt than the stuffy polo shirts of days gone by.

For starters, this polo is on sale via the always well-stocked Huckberry Sale section for a whopping 40 percent, a steal of a deal that’s too good to pass up. And beyond that, your new favorite polo simply has serious chops, the kind that make it a modern update to a timeless sporting silhouette.

Flint and Tinder men's shorts.

Building a wardrobe filled with, say, the best seasonal style essentials (for spring, summer and beyond) comes down to preparation and opportunity, I always say.

That goal is no stretch for the good folks at Huckberry, one of the best online menswear shops around (as you well know if you read this blog), and they’ve doubled down with a heck of a steal on the best shorts for men.

Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts review.

The Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts are a certified classic and best-seller from the brand — perhaps you recognize the same fabric from the brand’s famed 365 Pants, which blend the style of a chino with the comfortable fit of a jean.

The same hallmarks of that silhouette carry forward here — except, well, in shorts form. Oh, and the best part? Your new favorite summer shorts are about 20 percent off online right now via the Huckberry Sale section.

Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts review.

The days of baggy cargo shorts, as I always tend to say, are long gone, and this stylish pair of Flint and Tinder shorts helps prove that notion handily. Available in flattering inseam lengths (7 inches and 9 inches), I’ve always found these shorts to be supremely comfortable, well-fitting and yes, stylish.

The fabric blend stretches and moves with you like a performance short, while the tailored fit is suitable for styling with everything from your favorite short-sleeve henley to a crisp polo shirt. Color options ranging from Light Grey to a dusty Sand option provide variety for your wardrobe, too.

See Now, Buy Now: This Flint and Tinder Utility Blazer is a One of the Best Men’s Jackets for Spring and Summer

Best lightweight blazer for men.

As I scour the market for the best men’s style essentials, I emphasize pieces with character, rugged appeal and versatility – if you’ve got the chance to make a selection from one of your favorite online menswear brands that hits the mark in all three areas, that’s a winner.

And while you’ve got options aplenty for the best blazers for men this spring and summer, I know I can trust Huckberry to deliver a seasonal design that’s just different enough from the pack.

Best spring blazers for men.

The world of tailoring can feel a bit stuffy and sometimes uncomfortable, but the Flint and Tinder 365 Utility Blazer challenges that notion handily. Case in point: The versatility of a lightweight spring sport coat? Check.

The sharp design of an old-school sportcoat, the sort that features details like casual patch pockets and a useful, eye-catching throat collar latch? Check and check.

Flint and Tinder 365 Utility Blazer

The best blazers for men call to mind casual Fridays and perhaps evening rooftop dates and coastal getaways, but some blazers are better-suited for the office than for the sort of effortless cool that some spring and summer situations need. But in my experience, the Flint and Tinder 365 Utility Blazer hits the mark nicely in all facets.

Best spring and summer blazers for men.

Available in four effortlessly cool colors in classic shades (like Khaki, Navy and Olive), this stylish lightweight sportcoat can dress up jeans ever so slightly. It can also pair up expertly with the Flint and Tinder 365 Chinos for a suitably casual-yet-classy suited look.

The Friday Read: A London Jaunt & The Best Spring Menswear for Travel

Best waxed jackets for men this spring.

I don’t know about you, but reliability and rugged style is something I can’t quite get enough of when I build out my wardrobe of spring style essentials, let alone my wardrobe of the best travel gear. And travel has indeed been top of mind for this Brooklyn style writer as of late, to say the least, and that’s where versatile, tough-as-nails, dependable picks like my Flint and Tinder Ripstop Stretch Field Jacket (as shown above) have more than proven their worth.

Shop Flint and Tinder at Huckberry

Across the past week, I’ve found myself not in Brooklyn, but in multiple locales across Ireland and England as part of my many freelance writing pursuits, including covering the best spirits and the best spring menswear on the market.

Perhaps you’ve been following along with my travels on Instagram — those travels included time in Dublin, Tullamore and Galway, courtesy of famed Irish whiskey maker Tullamore DEW.

And those travels have also taken me down to London, all in the name of a brief stopover between yes, another spirits press trip. My London trip, of course, has proven more leisurely, and more focused on the best beers in London than Irish whiskey.

I also made time to visit a favorite London spot, Rough Trade Records, in addition to plenty of strolling across the city listening to The National, my very favorite band. What else can you ask for from a trip, right??

I’m far from done, though. From foggy London, I’ll trek to Germany and into the Black Forest with Monkey ’47 Gin, all on a quest to learn about the forthcoming release of this year’s edition of the Monkey ’47 Distiller’s Cut bottle. How’s that for an adventure where the journey is the destination?? For all these pursuits, I’ve certainly had to stay ready in terms of both form and function in my wardrobe.

And again, that’s why I’ve packed my favorite travel duffle bag with the best spring menswear from Huckberry (like that rugged men’s jacket shown above). After all, everything from wind to rain, breezy days and blazing sunsets — in Ireland, England, Germany and beyond — call for stylish, reliable men’s style essentials.

For your next spring getaway, look to pack up accordingly — naturally, that’s where this weekend’s duo of menswear posts (Saturday’s Style Pick and Sunday’s sale rundown) will assuredly help out in fine form. Check back tomorrow, layer up in style and thanks, as ever, for reading!
