See Now, Buy Now: These LUCA Terra Low Sneakers from Huckberry Are As Stylish As It Gets

There’s plenty of rich texture and color to choose from across the spectrum of menswear, even in the dog days of summer. Or rather, while it might not quite be the dog days of summer just yet, there are crucial ways to liven things up in the days ahead with a fresh outlook on the best summer style essentials, like that tried-and-true pair of the best men’s sneakers you tend to lace up just about every day.

So while white canvas sneakers or crisply cut white leather sneakers are of the essence, it’s always a stylish move to go a level deeper with some richly crafted leather sneakers in a shade more typically reserved for your favorite pair of leather boots (notably, you can find all of these selections at Huckberry, so you’ve come to the right place today).

That brings us to the handsome brown leather-gum rubber outsole LUCA Terra Low Sneakers, which are as well-suited for your favorite pair of light wash jeans and a pocket tee as they are for pairing with stretch chinos, an Oxford shirt and a lightweight navy blazer — yes, these stylish men’s sneakers can do all of that, and then some.

In fact, the good folks at Huckberry perhaps said it best, noting that the LUCA Terra Low Sneakers rest ever-so-stylishly in the “sweet spot in the closet between a sport sneaker and a dress shoe, allowing you to dress it up with a button-down and chinos, or dress it down with a tee and shorts.”

With a leather-lined interior and a natural gum rubber outsole, these sneakers boast a springy, ultra-comfortable feel right out of the box, while details like a reinforced toe and heel drive home the point that these are durable sneakers made to last.

Handsome details like contrast laces offer a dash of style points any way you wear these fashionable men’s sneakers, while rich Ravine Leather (among other options) gives them plenty of character and comfort with each wear.

The LUCA Terra Low Sneakers also come in variations like an ultra-versatile All-White Leather build, plus combinations that include Ravine Leather and an all-white outsole, for good measure.

The low profile makes them suitable for pairing with business casual looks aplenty, and the fact that you can get a pair of perfectly constructed sneakers for men for under $200 is about as great as it gets, is it not? Try out these simply excellent men’s sneakers from Huckberry and LUCA as soon as possible, and see for yourself.

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).

The Flint and Tinder Drawstring Shorts are also available in a wide array of colors and patterns, true to form for some leisurely yet stylish shorts that should quickly prove a summertime staple.

And there’s plenty to love beyond just their breezy, lightweight design — color options like Navy Seersucker or Olive Striped Linen get the job done reliably in terms of adding either classic color or eye-catching pattern to your wardrobe.

And about those wardrobe options: With the Flint and Tinder Drawstring Shorts, you’ve certainly got the potential to dress ’em up slightly (with a stretch cotton polo shirt and textured leather loafers) or dress ’em down (with a pocket tee and white canvas sneakers, for instance).

Take careful note of the details when it comes to your new favorite summer shorts, as Huckberry says “every pair is garment-dyed to ensure a soft, broken-in feel from the first wear and a rich, lived-in color that only looks better with age.” With breezy construction, a luxurious handfeel and versatile color options aplenty, these stylish men’s shorts from Huckberry set the tone for laidback seasonal style.

See Now, Buy Now: The Shinola Lake Superior Monster Automatic Watch Is Ready for Anything This Summer

Shinola men's watch review.

So, the stage is set. That lakeside cabin or beach retreat is booked, the packing process is underway, you’re dreaming of filling up your YETI cooler with ice-cold beer and perhaps, you’re contemplating the watch (or watches!) you’re going to bring with you as part of your everyday carry essentials on a summer getaway.

One of the very best watches for men should be able to go anywhere you go, into the water and back on land — and back on the road — without missing a beat. And because a stylish watch for men is quite the investment, you should be shopping with confidence (and hopefully, giving yourself a bit of time to consider the timepiece in question). That’s where the handsome Shinola dive watch at the top of the page joins your packing list.

My past Shinola reviews have assuredly sung the praises of the brand, from its Mid-Century Shinola Runwell to hard-wearing, bold dive watches like the Shinola West Wind — this timepiece shown here is no slouch, either.

But if versatility, rugged construction and style points aplenty are what you seek, then you could do worse than the Shinola Lake Superior Monster Automatic Watch, a land-and-sea timepiece fashioned with great care from the modern icons at the Detroit lifestyle company. Yes indeed, if any company could craft a durable watch fit for the Great Lakes, it’d be Shinola.

And while we don’t talk about watches on this blog as frequently as, say, the best Oxford shirt or classic blue jeans, it’s a valuable piece to have in your arsenal, packed with both functionality and fashion.

At first glance, the black case and bezel, plus three-link stainless steel bracelet, might call to mind a certain famous, somewhat similar dive watch (ahem, the Rolex Submariner), but Shinola switches things up when it comes to the Shinola Lake Superior Monster Automatic Watch, shifting the date window and delivering this rugged dive watch in a 43mm build.

Fashioned from durable 316L stainless steel, this watch is also rated down to 1,000 feet — whether extreme diving or a quick dip in the ocean is your pursuit of choice, this watch can handle it. And the good news, you needn’t change it when it comes time to dress for dinner — it’s refined and yet highly functional, like, well, the Rolex Submaner.

The 26-jewel, 38-hour power reserve of the quite reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement powers this watch, and marks a step up from Shinola’s earlier days of using quartz movements (let the debate among horological enthusiasts rage on as to which movement is really worth the price).

Its indices are given a green-glow treatment, Shinola notes of this hard-working, easily wearable watch. Whether paired with a polo and chino shorts or with a chambray shirt and linen trousers “the star quality of this timepiece is its performance,” and that’s a sentiment I wholeheartedly endorse as you prep for your next standout summer getaway.

For as essential as it is to build a closet well-stocked with the best warm-weather style essentials — from polo shirts to pocket tees, chino shorts to linen trousers — there’s plenty to be said for going out on a limb stylistically every once in a while.

So, while your trusty polo shirt is a quintessential style move for everything from a BBQ to the office (when you select the right polo in the right fabric, that is), you’ve also got other options as far as the best short-sleeve shirts for men are concerned. Indeed, that’s where Criquet Shirts can help, my friends.

My past Criquet Shirts reviews have talked about the brand’s old-school-style polos, like the kind that true gentlemen like Arnold Palmer used to wear. If you haven’t yet picked up a Criquet Shirts polo, it very well might be time — but let’s explore what else the brand has to offer, shall we?

An extended placket, a crisp collar, a flattering fit — yessir, Criquet Shirts certainly makes some of my favorite polos. But as far as switching things up from the ordinary is concerned, the classic camp collar shirt — in this instance, the Criquet Shirts Desi Shirt — is a reliable change of pace, at once retro and modern at the same time.

The camp collar shirt first shot to popularity as a more casual sporting (and yes, camping-friendly), with the lay-flat open collar also making it a prized workwear staple at times (or at least, a more casual shirt that your grandpa might have worn to work on his hot rod, ehh?). The Criquet Shirts Desi Shirt takes a more breezy, beach-friendly approach in terms of color and pattern, which is never a bad thing to have handy.

Guayabera shirts are the main source of design inspiration for the Criquet Shirts Desi Shirt, which blends both cotton and linen chambray in a super-lightweight, ultra-comfortable fabric. The slightly more relaxed fit breathes easily, while the straight hem and lay-flat Cuban collar are utterly classic touches.

Criquet Shirts went all the way as far as resort-friendly style is concerned, using coconut buttons to give a sense of true leisure and expertly easygoing style to the Criquet Shirts Desi Shirt.

Embroidered pattern options are yours for the taking with the Criquet Shirts Desi Shirt, which should wear more than handily with natural-hued linen trousers or light khaki stretch chinos — based on the color you select, of course.

Either way, as you wear the Criquet Shirts Desi Shirt, you’re gaining a sense of luxe, leisurely style every time you reach for the Criquet Shirts Desi Shirt, no matter the color or pattern you choose. When you want to switch things up from a polo without going overboard, a camp collar shirt is (at least in my experience) a surefire style home run — the Criquet Shirts Desi Shirt knocks it out of the park, my friends.

Best canvas sneakers for men.

There’s certainly a wide world out there as you scour the market for the best men’s shoes and indeed, the best men’s sneakers to keep you light on your feet with style in mind this summer.

The brand looks to perfect smart casual footwear, blending gum rubber outsoles and sustainable suede and leather uppers with the likes of Chelsea boot, chukka boot and laidback sneaker construction, and the LUCA Canvas Sneakers are the latest entry to join your lineup of footwear so casually cool and stylish, you won’t even have to think twice about lacing ’em up.

Canvas sneakers boast more laidback style than ultra-crisp white leather sneakers, along with more durability — you can scuff ’em up just a touch without worry, and that goes for everything from boardwalk strolls to weekend coffee outings and dive bar beers once the blazing sun sets.

The LUCA Canvas Sneakers are crafted from organic cotton canvas, with a flexible yet sturdy rubber outsole and Strobel construction, encouraging what the brand calls “lighter and more flexible wear” — consider me impressed, and certainly looking to lace up a fresh pair of kicks from Huckberry and LUCA.

Better still is the fact that the design of the LUCA Canvas Sneakers is simple, clean and minimal. Pair up your new favorite canvas sneakers with everything from olive chino shorts and a grey polo to a camp-collar shirt and stretch chinos, or else go ultra-casual with a short-sleeve henley and classic light wash jeans.

As with other Huckberry summer style essentials, you needn’t overthink how to wear the LUCA Canvas Sneakers — they’re as essential and yet laidback as it gets, as ready for a summer BBQ as a coastal road trip. A pair of stylish men’s shoes like the LUCA Canvas Sneakers are to be treasured and yet worn often, through all of your favorite seasonal pursuits. Lace these up accordingly, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: The Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo is an Ultra-Comfortable Menswear Wardrobe Upgrade

Now that we’ve sprinted past Memorial Day, perhaps you’ve noticed one of two things: Your menswear wardrobe is finally retooled for the season at hand, or else, you need just a few more essential selections to round things into form, from the office to the links to the beach and back.

One style that can pass muster in each of those locales, especially when done the right way? The best polos for men are up for the challenge, with sporty sensibility, casually cool office style and good looks (plus comfort) that fits right in at the boardwalk or the driving range.

The normally preppy polo gets a masterful remix in matters of comfort and style in the hands of Mack Weldon, a longtime favorite of this Brooklyn style blog — best known for its boxer briefs and comfortable basics, the company now turns that same ultra-comfortable lens towards the best polo shirts for men.

In the case of this fine late spring Wednesday, it’s the Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo that earns our attention (and possibly … a spot in your menswear rotation). It lives up to its billing and then some, with a super-soft 100 percent Pima cotton build that rivals other Mack Weldon T-shirts.

In my experience (and as you’ll see in my past Mack Weldon reviews), I’ve found the brand’s basics to be plenty comfortable while also retaining their shape and structure throughout the day, from T-shirts to the fan-favorite Mack Weldon Vesper Polo (which is now a covetable final sale item!). The Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo should carry on that same sense of style and softness, complete with a more relaxed fit and a more casual open collar, plus a two-button placket for a crisp look and feel.

Priced under $80 and available in a pleasing array of solid colors and patterns, including the breezy striped option shown throughout this post, the Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo feels as at home with stretch chino shorts as with moisture-wicking golf performance pants, or else perhaps even linen trousers and leather loafers at the office.

The Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo blends the comfort of your go-to T-shirt with the elevated nature of a polo, all without feeling too fussy (or breaking the bank), at least in my experience.

With a dozen color and pattern options available across the board when it comes to the Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo, it could prove a fine replacement for your favorite dress shirt or perhaps even a T-shirt when you feel like stepping up your game ever so slightly. That’s what Mack Weldon is all about, after all, and the Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo proves that point quite handily — tee one up for your wardrobe, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: Citizens of Humanity x Billy Reid Just Made the Perfect Pair Of the Best Light Wash Jeans for Men

Best light wash jeans for men.

It’s something we tend to talk about often here on this Brooklyn style blog: Shifting your favorite menswear essentials from one season to the next, all the while keeping your eye on the proverbial ball and knowing when to carry some of your favorite men’s style picks from one instance or situation to the very next.

For some of us (yours truly very much included), that might mean finding a way to wear your favorite pair of leather boots — even in the summer months — and for others amongst us (yours truly also included) that might mean working a pair of the best light wash jeans for men into your style rotation.

And if you appreciate rugged-meets-refined takes on utter style classics, from the peacoat to the denim shirt to the retro camp collar shirt — blue jeans included — the style aficionados at Billy Reid have just what you need. How about it, ehh?

It’s easier said than done in some situations and climates, but if I had to wager, I’d say a pair of the best light wash jeans for men should fit the bill quite nicely as we move from spring slowly but surely into summer.

After all, a pair of the best men’s jeans is hardly ever out of fashion, and all the better if they come in a seasonally friendly light wash. And that, my friends, is where the Citizens of Humanity x Billy Reid Elijah Jeans enter your fashion rotation in these next few weeks.

For multiple seasons, the acclaimed Alabama menswear designer has teamed up with the ultra-fashionable California denim company on pairs of perfectly tailored, expertly crafted, remarkably well-fitting jeans in a variety of eye-catching washes, and that includes this latest run of high-quality designer men’s denim.

There’s an air of top-notch quality and craftsmanship to the partnership, as one would only expect from the same brand that makes the peacoat worn by James Bond (lest we forget). Even the leather back hip patch, with a custom logo, represents the best of the best — at least in my experience — when it comes to dependable style and eye-catching good looks.

The Citizens of Humanity x Billy Reid Elijah Jeans use regenerative cotton this time around, with a remarkably supple amount of stretch and durable yet soft, easygoing fabric — plus, a tailored fit that flatters, rather than restricts.

As Billy Reid notes with this pair of your new favorite blue jeans, “the Elijah Jean takes the same craftsmanship of the best-selling Adler jean and opens the leg a bit more for a wider fit that offers more flexibility and motion without compromising on style.” If that sounds right up your alley as far as a new pair of stylish men’s blue jeans, I’d say you’re in luck on this fine spring day, folks.

See Now, Buy Now: This Flint and Tinder Terry Polo is a Retro-Minded Yet Modern Style Essential

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.

See Now, Buy Now: These Randolph Aviator Sunglasses are an Utterly Classic Addition to Your Everyday Carry This Season

You could make the case that just as there are men’s style staples that look positively great on every guy — from the navy blazer to the chambray shirt to the henley — the same certainly holds true for your everyday carry.

And while options abound in the world of the best men’s sunglasses, from the easygoing, artistic slant of Wayfarer-esque shades to the retro-minded nature of circular shades, it’s quite hard to get any more classic and crisp than the best aviator sunglasses for men. Find a company that knows a thing (or two, or three!) about making ’em, like Randolph USA, and your everyday carry is set for a serious upgrade — all with military heritage in mind, no less.

As for my own eyewear collection, I’ve been a fan of the USA-made company since I visited their Massachusetts factory back in 2023 — perhaps you’ve been a fan of the best aviator sunglasses even longer. And since then, I’ve written about a dash of everything from the old-school style purveyor, including a new Cole Hauser x Randolph collaboration (inspired by none other than Yellowstone), plus collaborations with the likes of American menswear icon Todd Snyder.

That brings us back around quite nicely to the utterly classic, truly timeless and eternally stylish Randolph USA Aviator Sunglasses, a supremely well-crafted example of the style — and one that makes perfect sense for your rotation if you want to invest a bit more in a pair of USA-made shades.

Randolph aviator sunglasses review.

The Randolph USA Aviator Sunglasses come with an almost infinite number of customizable options, be it polarized or non-polarized lenses, plus four different lenses sizes according to your face size and shape — the smallest lens size option clocks in at 52mm.

Better still, each of the four handsome frame and lens combinations can be customized further with your prescription — yessir, with your prescription for an even greater degree of crystal-clear vision and performance that tactical professionals and stylish guys everywhere can certainly get behind.

The Randolph USA Aviator Sunglasses also carry on a long pedigree of military-approved frames developed by Randolph since the company was founded in the early 1970s — talk about an everyday carry addition you can assuredly trust.

And about that prescription option: Randolph USA is working with SkyRx tech, a feature I certainly appreciate as a glasses wearer and aviator fan. To hear Randolph USA tell it, “whether taking to the skies in an F-18, or cruising the California coast, SkyRx provides you with the ultimate Rx visual experience.” How’s that for a confident wearing experience? That being said, it’s perfectly suitable to rock a pair of your new favorite aviator sunglasses sans prescription — they’re just as reliable, durable and stylish as ever, at least in my experience.

Have you been keeping an eye on things at Huckberry lately? The do-it-all men’s retailer offers up some of the best gear for guys across the board, as we so often talk about, from stylish shirting to dependable overshirts, one of the best waxed trucker jackets on the market and a mix of rugged, hard-working EDC gear. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, my friends, as we so often say on this blog.

And although the fan-favorite retailer has a new logo and a bit of a new, fresher look, the best menswear on the market can still be found at Huckberry — at least, that’s the case in my experience. Naturally, that sentiment applies to the best-selling, still-as-great-as-ever Huckberry Weekenders Sunglasses shown at the top of the page — more on your new favorite sunglasses in a second. What holds true is that reliable performance and great looks are what your spring and summer gear lineup need, and that’s what my good friends at Huckberry deliver.

When it comes time to stock up for summer with affordability and performance in mind, it’s best not to overthink it all that much — for instance, you’re going to need a pair of the most affordable sunglasses, but it’s high time you stepped things up from a bargain-bin pair. That’s where Huckberry excels — taking old favorites and giving them a fresh coat of paint at a highly agreeable price.

It certainly feels that way (and wears that way) as far as the Huckberry Weekenders Sunglasses, which take their cues from classic sunglass silhouettes while using hard-wearing scratch-resistant lenses and heavy-duty plastic — these are the kind of sunglasses you needn’t worry about kicking around a bit or putting to the test on the beach, on the water or on the road.

The great thing is, the Huckberry Weekenders Sunglasses come in a range of crisp color combinations suited for every guy, while design is neither oversized nor undersized — simply classic and perfectly at home with summer staples like stretch chino shorts and a camp collar shirt. These are also ideal for wearing on the water with tailored Huckberry swim trunks (note the use of 100 percent UVA/UVB resistance in their design).

As it turns out, I’d wager the Huckberry Weekenders Sunglasses are everything you could want in a pair of the most affordable sunglasses for men, and then some — at $60, the hardest part just might be picking more than one pair to add to your everyday carry.

They even feature Huckberry’s famed (and as-good-as-ever tagline) on the interior temple (that’d be “See You Out There), plus the Huckberry logo at the temple itself — wear these hard-working, stylish sunglasses with pride, and put that extra cash towards more cold beer for your cooler this season. You know what to do next: Get out there, my friends.
