The Sunday Sale: This Go-Anywhere Marine Layer Buttondown Is Now More than 30 Percent Off

Best buttondown shirts for men.

In my experience, building out a menswear wardrobe is a process that takes time, patience and a sense of knowing what works for you. That’s why I lean on staples like the best Oxford shirts, classic blue jeans, canvas sneakers and rugged chukka boots… you get the picture. And if ever the chance arises to save big while filling out your rotation of stylish menswear essentials, that’s even better.

That brings us to today’s weekend closeout, a stylish set of savings on an even more stylish buttondown shirt from the good folks at Huckberry and Marine Layer.

For a limited time only, you can score a true go-anywhere buttondown shirt — a casually cool shirt fit for a laidback day at the office or a backyard BBQ, no less — at a steal of a deal via the Huckberry Sale section.

Best buttondown shirts for men.

Yes, my friends: The Marine Layer Classic Stretch Selvage Shirt is now more than 30 percent off, with the crisp design and classic good looks to stand in for your favorite Oxford shirt in a way that’s just a bit more rugged and visually appealing.

Slub yarns give the shirt a broken-in look and feel, while the texture itself is just a bit more casual than one of the best Oxford shirts (and yes, Huckberry stocks those sorts of shirts, too). And unlike a classic Oxford shirt, this shirt features a spread collar, so it’s a touch more easygoing while still flattering your face. And when marked down to below $100, it’s a nice addition to your shirting rotation, one that you needn’t think too hard about wearing.

Team it with your favorite light wash jeans, wear it with a modern pair of the Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts and grab your go-to canvas sneakers — this shirt can do just about anything you ask of it, all the while saving you some dough in the process. That sounds like a shirt worth buying, in my experience. Have at it, my friends, and thanks for reading!

See Now, Buy Now: These Marine Layer Shorts are a Spring & Summer Classic

Best summer shorts for men.

For as much as summer is about adventure and hitting the road in style, it’s also about kicking back, relaxing and making the most of the season (lazy days in the yard, BBQs, rooftop beers and more). There’s still a way to approach laidback days with style in mind, as some of the best shorts for men prove quite handily.

Take the Marine Layer Saturday Stretch Shorts, which bridge the gap between easygoing comfort and polished appeal. Naturally, they’re joining your wardrobe via the good folks at Huckberry, which is the kind of partnership I can get behind.

These stylish men’s shorts boast a cotton-spandex selvage blend for comfort and ease of movement, but it’s the elastic drawstring waist that gives them tons of effortless appeal. The fabric itself is heavy enough to maintain its structure without wrinkling, but not so heavy that it weighs you down. Plus, the standard fit and agreeable inseam length should fit well on most guys.

And beyond that, the range of sizes is helpful for guys of all sizes, while the Sand color wears well with everything in your wardrobe, from navy shirting to a linen buttondown, a chambray overshirt or a crisp, classic white T-shirt.

This pair of the best shorts for men can be thrown on with canvas sneakers as easily as your favorite brown leather loafers, and that’s the sort of versatility and comfort you need from the best summer menswear essentials. Craft your next #OOTD accordingly, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: Save 20 Percent On This Versatile Everyday Shirt from Marine Layer & Huckberry

Marine Layer men's shirts.

As I build out my wardrobe season after season, I tend to look for versatile workhorse pieces that exist in two realms: One, as casual, everyday options (as with my favorite Oxford shirt) and two, picks that can also be dressed up a touch if needed. Those men’s style essentials are of course sold in spades by Huckberry, which is where we kick off today’s Tuesday Steal.

And to get more specific, the Marine Layer Theo Texture Shirt as seen above qualifies quite nicely as an everyday pick you can style a few different ways. It’s not quite as rugged as one of the best men’s flannel shirts, yet it’s got more texture than a sleek cotton sateen dress shirt that you’d wear to the office.

Yet, add a cotton blazer or one of the best flannel blazers over it, and it’s going to clean up quite nicely indeed. Oh, and the real kicker here? It’s on sale for 20 percent off via the always well-stocked Huckberry Sale section.

The Marine Layer Theo Texture Shirt is also unique in its construction: Whereas styles like the Oxford shirt are made with 100 percent cotton Oxford fabric, this more easygoing buttondown shirt is made from a lightweight blend of cotton and TENCEL.

That means it’s not as hearty as a flannel shirt jacket, so you’ll need to layer up the Marine Layer Theo Texture Shirt on especially cold days. But for the price, and for 20 percent off, the crisply cut, stylish and versatile Marine Layer Theo Texture Shirt seems like a downright steal. Go forth accordingly, my friends.
