The Thursday Buy: This Relwen Polo is a Modern Summer Classic for Any Occasion

Best summer polo for men.

There are times, in my experience, when it’s ideal, and even preferred, to look for an updated take on a classic. For instance, a fresh take on one of the best men’s polo shirts, already a seasonal style essential.

And yet, how could the trusty, preppy, stylish polo get even better? The answer is an easy one: When it’s made by the good folks at Relwen, a personal favorite brand of mine and a tried-and-true retailer as sold by Huckberry.

The Ohio company has a healthy appreciation for menswear staples, be it some of the best chinos for men, a sturdy T-shirt or the fresh-as-can-be Relwen Jersey Stripe Polo. It’s a new take on the style you know and love, with a spin that only Huckberry and Relwen can put on it.

Cotton jersey fabric makes the difference, while the crisp, stylish striped design (one of three variations available) gives this handsome polo a dash of all-time good looks. Better still is the fact that the Relwen Jersey Stripe Polo, your new favorite polo, is inspired by heritage designs and boasts an extended, dressy-yet-versatile placket — think of it like an updated version of the classic golf polo worn by Arnold Palmer, for instance.

Helpfully, this refined-yet-ever-so-slightly-rugged polo features smart details like a chest patch pocket for your sunglasses, not to mention durable horizontal buttonholes for long-lasting quality. The Relwen Jersey Stripe Polo is also garment-washed for added softness, while the fit should prove tailored and yet flattering — at least, that’s the case in my personal experience with Relwen polos at Huckberry.

A fresh take on the classics can be hard to come by, but when you stumble across one, it’s worth considering. And the next time you want a smart, sharp upgrade to a favorite you know and love, consider snagging one of the best polos for men from Relwen and Huckberry — it’s a wardrobe upgrade you won’t soon forget.

The Friday Read: A Summer Weekend in Scranton & the Best Summer Style Essentials

Relwen summer menswear 2024.

Summer is about as prime a time as any to flex one’s muscle in terms of sartorial sensibility — yes, that holds true even as the thermostat climbs. In fact, beating the heat in style, whether at the beach or a backyard BBQ, is easier to do than one might think, especially if you shop summer style essentials from, say, Relwen.

The Ohio-based brand has been a longtime favorite of mine, with an eye for taking classic menswear moves — like the Oxford shirt, the chino or the polo — then refreshing them with a touch of the modern.

The Huckberry-approved brand is on my mind this weekend, particularly its artful mix of breezy, stylish pieces fit for summer’s heat — in fact, there’s an entirely new set of Relwen menswear essentials online at the famed retailer, and not a moment too soon through another summer heat wave.

Staying cool in the heat is top of mind in my neck of the woods, which actually looks a little different these next couple days — I’ll be trekking down to Scranton, Pennsylvania (yes, the home of the acclaimed series “The Office”) with my blonde-haired sweetheart Mary for a family weekend of summer fun in the sun.

Of course, I’m bringing my Buck Mason swim trunks and some Huckberry swim shorts for the occasion, and plenty of cold beer and delights from the grill are on tap. What’s on tap for you this weekend? We’ll have a duo of posts covering summer style must-haves, of course, so be sure to swing on by accordingly. Cheers and here’s to the weekend, my friends!

The Tuesday Steal: This One-of-a-Kind Huckberry x Zodiac Watch Is Now 25 Percent Off

Huckberry x Zodiac watch review.

It’s often tough to find one of the best men’s watches on sale for a great deal — those sorts of deals tend to not come around all that often. But when they do, as I always say, the opportunity to strike while the iron is hot is too good to pass up, especially as far as Huckberry gear is concerned.

And it’s from the minds of Huckberry that we find our latest and greatest Tuesday Steal, the Huckberry x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Diver. It’s not the first time I’ve offered up a Huckberry review on one of the best watches for men (specifically this watch!), but it’s a rather timely one here.

Find out more at Huckberry

At the time of my first review, you see, this rugged watch was 15 percent off. And yet now, the Huckberry x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Diver is now 25 percent for a very, very limited time (stock is moving extremely quickly via everyone’s favorite gear and menswear retailer).

And as one might expect, the specs on the Huckberry x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Diver are everything one needs in a rugged, stylish summer dive watch (or a dive watch in any season, for that matter). It boasts an aerospace-grade titanium case, a 1970s-inspired design and 200 meters of water resistance.

The tough-as-nails Huckberry x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Diver dive watch aesthetic also extends to its rotating titanium bezel for keeping an eye on dives and water-ready excursions (or going anywhere else, for that matter). Your new favorite dive watch also features a 44-hour power reserve. On the dial itself, you’ll also find easy visibility through C3 SuperLuminova luminous paint on hands and dial indices.

See Now, Buy Now: This Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt from Huckberry Is Made for Breezy Spring & Summer Days

Best linen shirt for men for spring and summer.

There are certain fabrics that make certain men’s style essentials indispensable as the thermostat climbs, like linen. Its breezy open weave keeps you cool from sunrise to sunset, whether in suiting, trousers or in the stylish linen shirt shown at the top of the page.

And yet, here’s the thing with linen, at least in my experience: The fabric wrinkles easily, which some might appreciate for its easygoing, devil-may-care sense of style. And yet, if you want one of the best linen shirts, but one with a true wrinkle-free approach, well, consider yourself in luck.

The good folks at Huckberry, and Huckberry in-house brand Wills, have come up with the perfect solution — a wrinkle-free linen shirt meant to upgrade all your spring and summer style pursuits, no extra ironing required.

The Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt (available in both long-sleeve and short-sleeve versions) stands apart as one of the best shirts for men, and the difference is in the details. It’s made from a classic, breathable linen blend that looks great, retains its shape and again, resists wrinkles.

Along with that, it retains the timeless details of your favorite Oxford shirt, including a face-framing buttondown collar and a chest pocket — the Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt is at once casual and yet polished, the sort of shirt you can wear with your favorite blazer and stretch chinos as readily as you can rock it untucked with expertly faded light wash jeans.

The Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt — again, in either short-sleeve or long-sleeve designs — also keeps things simple and versatile in terms of style. Take your pick from options like Marled Blue or a Natural colorway, each of which should wear nicely with spring and summer style moves like olive or tan chinos, dark blue jeans, navy seersucker trousers or your go-to summer shorts.

Best of all? The fact that the Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt should live up to its name, keeping things crisp, casually cool and effortlessly stylish. In my experience, that’s what your spring and summer style #OOTD needs.

See Now, Buy Now: Huckberry Just Teamed Up with Aaron Levine on Some of the Best American-Made Menswear Around

Huckberry x Trumbull Detroit.

When looking for the best menswear essentials to round out my style rotation on the daily, I tend to look for relatable, reliable pieces (yes, relatable and reliable!) from sources I can trust — this you know well if you’ve read the blog on the regular, and Huckberry certainly qualifies.

Shop Huckberry menswear ASAP

The rugged-meets-refined retailer has certainly set a high bar to clear, which is what makes the San Fran and Austin-based brand so impressive in its latest meeting of the minds. My friends, get ready to meet Trumbull Detroit, a new collaboration between Huckberry and lauded menswear designer and expert Aaron Levine.

Huckberry x Trumbull Detroit

If that name sounds familiar, there’s plenty of good reason behind that: Levine was the menswear mind behind Club Monaco, masters of accessible tailoring and sportswear, as well as the resurgence of Abercrombie and Fitch across the past decade.

And now, he’s back at it again, teaming up with Huckberry on Trumbull Detroit, a line of stylish, vintage-inspired sportswear that arrives just in time for early spring. The line focuses on classic Americana styles, including one of the best hoodies for men, a classic crewneck sweatshirt in a vintage wash, a super-soft vintage wash T-shirt and even a casually cool quarter-zip sweater.

The Trumbull Detroit line might seem simple enough on the surface, but it’s packed with some of the best casual style picks for men this spring, particularly for weekend lounging, morning coffee runs, cozy weekends away and, well, the list goes on and on.

Garment-dyed 100 percent USA-grown cotton runs throughout the line, but what’s even more impressive is the fact that Huckberry x Trumbull Detroit is made the old-school way — in the U.S.A., and as the name would imply, in Detroit itself.

Best USA-made hooded sweatshirt for men.

They don’t quite make menswear like this anymore, with a pleasing range of casual, effortlessly cool silhouettes, high-quality fabrication and of course, USA-made construction. That naturally means these pieces are pricier than average ($148 for a Trumbull Detroit hoodie, for instance), but between the soft fleece, durable fabric and made-in-America construction, it’s an investment that should certainly pay off.

Shop Trumbull Detroit at Huckberry now

When you want the best of the best, with an eye for detail, classic design and that key mix of reliability and relatability, turn now towards Trumbull Detroit and your friends at Huckberry — they won’t let you down.
