Best summer polo for men.

The best casual summer style moves are the ones you almost always make without thinking: Reaching for comfortable stretch shorts, throwing on your favorite summer T-shirt, lacing up some of the best summer sneakers… right? What if you could get that same sense of easygoing, “throw it on and forget it” style, even when wearing one of the best polos for summer? It sounds too good to be true, right? That’s not the case, though, with the Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo, a polo that’s, well, as comfortable as a T-shirt and yet as polished as a polo can be.

You very well might know Mack Weldon for its ultra-comfortable boxer briefs, or the fact that the brand makes one of the best casual jackets on the market, too. Yet, they’ve taken all that knowledge — the proper blend of fabric, fit and quality — and translated it into a supremely easygoing yet cool polo via the Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo.

The trick, of course, is the 100 percent Pima cotton construction, all the better for breathable summer style. The fit is relaxed, but shouldn’t prove too baggy, and the two-button placket on the Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo is also a more casual touch than dressy polos. Think of it like a polo that wears like a T-shirt, yet looks like… yep, you guessed it… a polished polo. Then, pair up the Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo — in any number of vibrant or classic colors — with everything from stretch chinos and leather loafers to your favorite hybrid shorts and white sneakers. There’s not a whole lot that the Mack Weldon Pima T-Shirt Polo can’t do, which is why it’s one of the best polos for men to buy right now. Act accordingly, my friends.

Best men's pants for summer from Taylor Stitch.

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.

One perfect song translates to one perfect T-shirt, does it not? Luckily, you’ll certainly find one of the best men’s casual tees within the digital confines of San Fran and Austin-based Huckberry, and this one starts with slub cotton fabric for a textured look and feel.

Best men's denim jacket for spring.

There are some menswear partnerships that just make so much sense, you almost don’t have to think about ’em.

The jacket in question is an update of the Taylor Stitch Long Haul Jacket, a longtime favorite of mine here on the blog, and it plays off all the hallmarks you expect from that silhouette. The fit is clean and hits above the waist, with relatively slim sleeves and high armholes for a surprisingly tailored denim jacket. Of course, those are but a few of the touches that make it one of the best jackets for men at the moment.

The incredibly cool Huckberry x Taylor Stitch Long Haul Jacket is made from soft organic cotton denim, all the better for a soft fit that only gets better with time the more you wear it.

It already looks like you’ve had it for years, which makes this one a nice change of pace against more polished Taylor Stitch chinos, for instance. The Huckberry x Taylor Stitch Long Haul Jacket also boasts eye-catching, nicely detailed antique copper YKK donut buttons and rivets, plus zig-zag stitching under the collar and along the front placket for added durability.

Taken altogether, both the details big and small make the Huckberry x Taylor Stitch Long Haul Jacket one worth owning and wearing as often as possible this spring and summer. It gets all the better when you team your new favorite denim jacket with, say, a Taylor Stitch merino tee for go-anywhere, laidback-yet-cool style. Regardless of how many lightweight jackets you’ve got close at hand, the Huckberry x Taylor Stitch Long Haul Jacket is one of the coolest to buy right now — guaranteed.
