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.

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the good folks at Taylor Stitch come right on back through with another round of the best men’s style essentials for spring, summer and yes, well beyond those two seasons. The San Francisco brand is, of course, a perennial favorite of your friendly Brooklyn style writer, be it making one of the best merino T-shirts or a rugged leather jacket to wear in breezier weather.

Those two style staples are but two areas in which the long-running brand excels, but the Taylor Stitch Jack Oxford has long been another piece worthy of a spot in your wardrobe. The Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt is impressive in any season, harnessing the versatile potential of the Oxford in a fresh, modern way. The fit is nicely dialed in via chest sizes, the collar is substantial but not overly large — with a nice roll that looks great unbuttoned or done up — and the cut is made to be worn tucked in or untucked.

If you’ve tried the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt, you know there’s lots to love, and it gets even better when you take a look at the best new spring and summer colorways of the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt, my friends.

The Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt in Teal is particularly impressive, in a fresh, rich shade that wears well with the best indigo blue jeans or with Taylor Stitch’s slim chinos in equal measure. Of course, the especially breezy, dusty Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt in Natural is also a nice change of pace, presented in yet another exceptionally cool colorway that wears well with just about anything you can dream up (yes, even white or off-white jeans or five-pocket pants. Of course, the specs on the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt remain reliable even if you opt for a more classic color, like the always-wearable shade of light blue that sells out at a frequent clip.

The organic rugby Oxford cotton on the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt is soft but durable, made to get better with each wash and each wear. And given the fact that you can team the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt with a lightweight blazer or worn more casually — unbuttoned over the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Tee, for instance — it’s a solid bet that this could become your new favorite Oxford shirt. The best and brightest new colors of the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt keep things cool and interesting, but the classics always win out. Stock your shopping cart with that in mind. Cheers, my friends!
