Style Pick of the Week: Lems Shoes Trailhead Sneakers – Summer’s Best Adventure Sneakers

If you ask me, your menswear wardrobe needs a few reminders from time to time. For instance: There’s still plenty of summer on the horizon, and if you could use a new pair of the best outdoor sneakers for your next round of seasonal pursuits (from camping to hiking), then, well, here’s your reminder that the good folks at Huckberry have just what you need.

It’s never to late to add summer menswear essentials to your rotation, particularly considering the fact that it’s continuing to heat up out there. Let’s take a look at what that entails, shall we?

Perhaps that means you’ve got your sights set on another camping getaway, or a day hike to a stream or river (or a hike to a literal watering hole — cheers!). Whatever happens to be on your to-do list, I can nearly guarantee the Lems Shoes Trailhead Sneakers can make it happen.

It’s not my first time talking about these rugged hiking sneakers here on the blog, so consider this a bit of a reminder, too: They’re part of Huckberry’s Bestsellers for a reason, with retro appeal, modern functionality and a dash of outdoor-centric style thrown in, to boot.

There’s a low-profile design in a mix of throwback color options, all positioned nicely atop a thick treaded rubber outsole: They’re truly hybrid sneakers, with a super-lightweight feel and yet trail-ready traction and durability.

Plus, the Lems Shoes Trailhead Sneakers boast a breathable mesh upper for comfort in the heat, while they’ve also got substantially less drop in terms of the heel and shoe design (4mm versus a more typical 12mm drop). What does that mean for you? It means a more natural, comfortable stride and an increased ability to navigate rocky terrain without missing a beat.

Shop men’s sneakers at Huckberry

And for good measure, the Lems Shoes Trailhead Sneakers are quite affordable as far as hiking sneakers are concerned: They’ll run you $140 at Huckberry, a fair cost among the rest of the lineup of Huckberry’s Bestsellers.

These are more rugged than plain canvas sneakers, they’re easier to pack and wear than traditional hiking boots, and they’re durable enough to take on any challenge the rest of the season. Act accordingly to shake up your footwear rotation, my friends.

The Friday Read: The Best New Huckberry Menswear & A Summer Upstate Trip

It seems it was scarcely a day ago I was talking about a Brooklyn weekend and my experience making one of the best custom hats on the market. And yet, time marches ever forward and we find ourselves on the brink of another sweltering summer weekend.

In addition to talking about cool vintage menswear curated by the likes of Buck Mason (like the picks above), I’ve stayed plenty busy this week writing about the best necklaces for men over at AskMen, and I’ve also been thinking about how to beat the heat in style. Luckily, it seems easier than ever to do that (or at least, relatively easy) thanks to the likes of Relwen. Let’s take a quick look at the brand on this fine summer Friday, shall we?

Head to Huckberry now

Hopefully, you’re acquainted with Relwen from this blog, or from shopping the Columbus, Ohio brand’s particular strain of all-American menswear. The Huckberry-approved brand is a favorite of mine, with an emphasis on rugged, classic gear often inspired by throwback designs (particularly military staples like field shirts, jackets and streamlined cargo pants and chinos).

And they’re certainly worth a look this summer, especially if you want a durable hybrid blazer like the Relwen Linen Trap Blazer as seen at the top of the page — it’s fit for travel, a short Friday at the office or a summer wedding.

That’s one brief summer menswear recommendation for you, and that Relwen jacket in particular is the sort of summer travel style essential I can’t go without. To be more specific, I brought some Huckberry gear (including my Forty Five T-shirt and Proof Rover Pants) on a quick upstate jaunt to the lovely town of Hudson, where I sipped on delicious local beer at Kingston Standard, dined at the Hotel Kinsley (as seen above!) and of course, capped it all off with a stellar rock show by beloved indie folk band Big Thief.

Consider each of those menswear picks and destination stops as just a few of my recommendations for your next online shopping spree or New York State visit. For now, I’m signing off and enjoying a bit of downtime (and a bit of time in front of my A/C unit). Thanks so much for reading, and here’s to a summer Friday!

Style Pick of the Week: SeaVees x Huckberry Ballard Sneaker Boots – Summer’s Best Hybrid Sneakers

When not one, but two brands come together to get it exactly right in terms of a bona fide summer style essential like a pair of the best sneaker boots for men, well, that’s a beautiful thing in my book. And that’s what you’re getting via today’s Style Pick of the Week, courtesy of Huckberry. That’s not all, my friends.

Learn more now at Huckberry

Lest we forget, today’s Style Pick also comes courtesy of Huckberry pals and collaborators SeaVees, the California-cool sneaker brand with a knack for harnessing retro appeal and modern style. We’ve talked plenty on the blog about SeaVees and the company’s focus on taking old-school styles and breathing new life into them.

Here, they also get quite the nice assist from San Fran style favorite Huckberry with the new SeaVees x Huckberry Ballard Sneaker Boots. They’re here not a moment too soon as you plot your next summer getaway, and they’ve got the build to last into early fall, too. Plus, these kicks are exclusive to Huckberry, and the hits keep rolling in from there.

You’ll note, of course, SeaVees’ signature heel logo, which pairs nicely with a custom branded Huckberry pull tab — that makes these sneaker boots an easy-on, easy-off pair of kicks to wear from town to trail.

And the SeaVees x Huckberry Ballard Sneaker Boots ramp things up a notch from typical sneakers, using a rugged outsole with deep groves for traction and toughness, not to mention wraparound rubber foxing — it’s another layer of material for plenty of added durability.

Yes indeed, the SeaVees x Huckberry Ballard Sneaker Boots are some of the most durable, best men’s sneakerboots on the market, and the rich Elmwood color is also exclusive to Huckberry. Plus, these hard-wearing sneaker boots are made of a textured goat leather for some added appeal and visual interest.

If I were you, I’d slide into the SeaVees x Huckberry Ballard Sneaker Boots for summer adventures aplenty, whether styled with stretch chino shorts or rolled light wash denim. The best of both worlds is well within reach, all thanks to Huckberry and SeaVees.

The Friday Read: Heads of State Custom Hats, The Best Summer Suits & A Huckberry Sale

If you’re a regular reader of the blog (and I certainly hope you are!), then you’re well aware that I believe in the power of stylish accessories to really elevate an #OOTD. And as much as I love my casually rugged rotation of ballcaps, there’s something about an ultra-sharp hat — one that’s made just to your liking — that really goes a long way.

I’m talking about the sort of custom men’s hat you might find at Brooklyn’s Heads of State, a chic-rustic spot in the fast-rising neighborhood of Greenpoint. I visited the shop and met with founder Gwen Rahn earlier this spring, and I was ever so impressed by the company’s approach (both online and at its recently opened retail location).

Learn more about Heads of State

If you’ve been on the fence about adding a more luxe, premium hat to your rotation — perhaps to wear with a summer suit, or perhaps to style with hybrid pieces like a field jacket or shacket in the colder months — fear not, because Heads of State makes it easier than ever to find your perfect fit (as I found out, of course).

Online, you’ll find a very helpful Hats 101 section, but the experience is even more personalized in store, as Gwen walks you through every step of the process, from which hat shape is right for your noggin to which fabrics and colors might pair well with your wardrobe. There are also customization options aplenty, including various richly crafted trims for your hat, and you can start the process off by selecting from one of four very sharp, Oppenheimer-esque hat silhouettes.

From there, the hats are crafted and finished in-studio in Greenpoint, and then shipped out in well under a month — just in time for your next summer wedding, right?

Customize your own hat at Heads of State

The process is fun and engaging, and the possibilities are seemingly endless. In fact, if you follow me on Instagram, you’re going to see more of my own customized, highly stylish hat very soon. For now, consider making Heads of State your go-to spot for your next (or first!) hat purchase.

In the meantime, here are a few other choice menswear picks I recommend you check out as you roll into your summer weekend. Cheers!

Here’s the right way to roll into your weekend: With a little shopping from one of the best online menswear stores out there, Huckberry. Now, I’ve talked about Huckberry’s Summer Steals on the blog recently, but a reminder is always in order when it comes to the best menswear deals. So, right now, you can get up to 35 percent off some of Huckberry’s Bestsellers, and those savings are seriously stylish. Go to it, my friends.

Speaking of your next look for a summer wedding, start with an essential — seriously, an essential you can’t go anywhere without. That’d be one of the best summer suits, something I covered over at AskMen. Shop accordingly and stay cool (in style!) out there, folks.

You see, today’s featured Sunday Sale comes courtesy of Huckberry, one of my all-time favorite retailers (and designers of some of your favorite menswear and gear, to boot).

Shop sale gear now at Huckberry

It’s not just any ordinary deal from the Huckberry Sale section, though (as if there were any ordinary deals, right??). Right now, you can shop some standout discounts from Huckberry’s Summer Steals section, a very worthy alternative to Amazon Prime Day deals (if you’re into that sort of thing).

The Summer Steals section offers savings of up to 35 percent off through July 13th on 10 Huckberry Bestsellers right now, each of which you can wear this week through the end of summer (and well beyond). Let’s take a quick look, shall we?

You’ll find savings on summer must-haves like the durable, classic Wellen Swim Shorts in an array of vibrant colors, plus the rugged Huckberry Sunseekers Sunglasses for a whopper of a deal (try just $27 for some of the best men’s sunglasses).

There’s also a breezy selection of super-soft tees, stylish buttondown shirts and even a rugged denim chore coat to be found in the Huckberry Sale section via this deal at the moment.

It gets even better from there, though: Huckberry has also discounted a few picks to round out the rest of your lifestyle: Huckberry’s own Whiskey Peaks glasses are up for grabs at a reduced price (try 35 percent off), and they look (and perform) better than ever. Could they become your new favorite whiskey glasses?

Shop Whiskey Peaks glasses and more now

Possibly, but I know one thing for sure at the moment: Whether you’re shopping whiskey glasses, swim trunks, rugged hybrid shorts or a classic polo, you’ll find something to love within Huckberry’s Summer Steals selection right now. Cheers, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts – The Best Men’s Shorts for Summer

In my experience, especially in the summer months, it seems you just need workhorse wardrobe pieces that consistently get the job done in terms of casual, effortless style. Of course, a pair of the best men’s shorts certainly qualifies, and that’s where my good friends at Huckberry enter the equation, and that’s part of the reason why I’m keeping today’s post short and sweet. Some things just make sense in matters of men’s style, right? Yes indeed.

The Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts (part of Huckberry’s selection of bestsellers) take the cake as far as the best shorts for men are concerned, using the company’s lightweight yet durable 365 fabric (a blend of cotton and spandex that’s also been garment-dyed).

Learn more and shop at Huckberry

These shorts check off all the proper boxes in my book: These stylish men’s shorts come in three inseam lengths to suit guys of every height, they’re available in rich and versatile colors to match up with plenty of other summer style essentials, and they boast custom Flint and Tinder hardware, for good measure.

I’m going to wrap up this post here today, since it’s quite clear to me that your next move is simple: Go ahead and get a pair of the best shorts for men over at Huckberry ASAP. You know exactly what to do.

See Now, Buy Now: These Wellen Corduroy Shorts are an Easygoing Summer Style Move

I’m willing to bet you’ve got more than your fair share of stylish summer shorts in your rotation already, right? But what about reconsidering your wardrobe ever so slightly, especially in pursuit of a pair of shorts that swerves from the ordinary?

Yes indeed, while it’s worthwhile to keep the classics well-stocked, like a pair of the best chino shorts for men, there’s something to be said for switching up from time to time. Take the Wellen Corduroy Easy Shorts, which harken back to corduroy shorts of the 1970s, yet in a way that’s tasteful and modern.

If you’ve never tried corduroy shorts, there’s no time like the present — these are also affordably priced via Huckberry at under $100, but that’s far from the only thing they’ve got going for ’em.

Learn more and shop now at Huckberry

The Wellen Corduroy Easy Shorts were dreamed up by the design team at Huckberry, as Wellen is the famed retailer’s approach to breezy, sustainable and surf-inspired menswear. They’re made from 100 percent cotton with that characteristic corduroy texture, and the Wellen Corduroy Easy Shorts have also been garment-dyed for softness right out of the box.

Two color options — Mushroom and Dark Sage — are also a nice stylistic change of pace in terms of color (pair up these stylish corduroy shorts with everything from a heather grey pocket tee to your favorite henley on breezy days).

Shop men’s shorts at Huckberry

And to make things even easier — and more easygoing, at that — the Wellen Corduroy Easy Shorts are sized from XS to XXL, complete with an elastic drawstring waist. When the time comes to get dressed for your next BBQ or summer vacation, opt for something slightly different from the norm via the Wellen Corduroy Easy Shorts — your wardrobe (and wallet) will thank you later.
