Checking all the right boxes when it comes to the best summer style picks — like the best summer pants, for instance — isn’t always easy. In fact, it rarely is, but the Taylor Stitch Easy Pants make things just a bit less difficult (or rather, quite a bit less difficult). Taylor Stitch, if you keep up with the blog on the regular, does a standout job making gear for all seasons, be it basics like durable T-shirts or one of the best lightweight jackets for summer, and you can assuredly add the Taylor Stitch Easy Pants to that list. What boxes do they check, exactly? My friends, keep scrolling for more.

For starters, the Taylor Stitch Easy Pants toe the line rather nicely between casual and polished, a sort of nice hybrid between breezy linen trousers and more cleaned-up chinos (a category in which Taylor Stitch also excels!). The Taylor Stitch Easy Pants blend linen, cotton and silk for a lightweight feel and yet some nice substance, and the Charcoal Herringbone fabric is a visually interesting, neutral change of pace you can team with everything from Taylor Stitch shirts to a laidback pocket tee.

Front slash pockets give the lightweight Taylor Stitch Easy Pants some dressy appeal, and the tailored-but-not-too-tight fit also lend themselves nicely to all-day versatility and wearability. Another bonus with the breezy Taylor Stitch Easy Pants? They blend a polished flat-front waistband with an elastic back waistband, all the better to make you feel like you’re wearing lounge pants and not trousers. Taken all at once, the Taylor Stitch Easy Pants could be your new favorite summer pants. Shop away, folks.

When the opportunity to snag one of the best men’s short-sleeve shirts for summer comes along, strike while the iron is hot. That’s the idea behind my suggestion that your next menswear purchase should be the Taylor Stitch Short-Sleeve Jack Shirt, just the latest and greatest release from the standout San Francisco brand. We’ve talked in the past about how Taylor Stitch consistently makes some of the best men’s shirts — and plenty of other gear — which you can find on sale, if you know where to look. Now, the Taylor Stitch Short-Sleeve Jack Shirt isn’t on sale right now, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth your hard-earned time and money.

Crucially, the Taylor Stitch Short-Sleeve Jack Shirt takes the brand’s tried-and-true Jack silhouette — with a tailored fit, sizes arranged according to your chest measurements, and a clean look — and turns it into one of the best men’s short-sleeve shirts for summer, without missing a beat. The key is the blend of Tencel and linen fabric, for both breathability and stretch, yet durability.

Contrast stitching on the chest pocket gives the Taylor Stitch Short-Sleeve Jack Shirt a nice touch of visual interest, and the Natural color is versatile enough to wear with absolutely anything in your wardrobe — especially Taylor Stitch chinos, for instance. Try out the Taylor Stitch Short-Sleeve Jack Shirt and see what it can do for your summer style.

What’s a guy to do when he wants the right blend of rugged dependability and yet style that works easily back on dry land and perhaps, on the water or even on the trail? Why, turn towards a brand that can help you meet all three of those aims quite easily (especially given that it’s Memorial Day and the official start of an anything-goes summer). The brand in question is Taylor Stitch, and the Taylor Stitch Wharf Pants are the most rugged pants you can buy this summer — whatever’s on your bucket list.

That might seem overly simple on the surface, but they perfectly merge the sort of timeless style, classic looks and reliable performance you tend to need when zipping around town or taking on summer’s adventures (a day hike and brewery beers — and bonfire building) very much included.

The key is the use of durable 100 percent cotton in these stylish men’s pants, especially in a 12oz. weight. That weight should prove somewhat lightweight on temperate days, but best suited to breezy days and nights on or near the water.

In fact, the aptly named Taylor Stitch Wharf Pants are made from some of the toughest stuff around: Selvage boat canvas, which you might more accurately call “the good stuff.” They’ll break in as time goes on to become as soft as your favorite Taylor Stitch chinos, but for now, think of them like a hybrid between casual summer pants, work pants and road-ready adventure pants.

The leather back patch amps up the style details accordingly, while you can always cuff or roll ’em to your heart’s content, all thanks to the 34-inch inseam. When you want a pair of the best men’s pants geared towards doing just about anything you can dream up this summer, you want the Taylor Stitch Wharf Pants — that’s just a fact.
