Style Pick of the Week: Taylor Stitch Apres Shorts – Spring’s Best Casual Men’s Shorts

Best casual shorts for men to wear now.

For as much as you need spring menswear essentials for those days you’ve got to get back out there and into the world, there’s also a time and a place for more laidback style moves, the kind you reach for on vacation or during relaxed days at home on the back patio, cold beer in hand.

As luck would have it, the good folks at Taylor Stitch make gear that’s meant for both, be it a classic striped T-shirt, one of the best spring jackets for men, or else today’s Style Pick: The supremely easygoing Taylor Stitch Apres Shorts, a fitting style move for easy-and-breezy days at home. They’re part of the Taylor Stitch Apres Collection, which toes the line between polished fits and super-soft fabrics with ease.

Best men's lounge shorts to wear now.

100 percent organic cotton waffle fabric keeps the Taylor Stitch Apres Shorts feeling light and comfortable — they’re more casual than chino shorts but more polished than athletic shorts, and that’s the right move on most days when working for home or hanging out by the bonfire. Slash front pockets provide a clean look and some storage space for small EDC selections, a helpful touch alongside back button pockets.

Colors like Charcoal, Granite and Indigo deliver options to suit every style, and you can even get away with wearing the Taylor Stitch Apres Shorts alongside one of the brand’s easygoing (but still cool and stylish) Taylor Stitch T-shirts or polos. There are even versions of the Taylor Stitch Apres Shorts that are water-repellent, all the better to wear on spring and summer adventures, but the organic cotton waffle fabric might be best-suited for your spring and summer loungewear needs.

The Tuesday Steal: Save 30 Percent On this Breezy Taylor Stitch Tee for Spring

Best T-shirt for men this spring.

Sometimes, the best spring style essentials for men are the moves that are seemingly simple on the surface. Take the tried-and-true combination of classic jeans and a T-shirt. It doesn’t get much more simple, right? Well, here’s the catch: There’s a right way to get dressed casually this spring, and it starts with finding one of the best T-shirts for men.

And if you can do that on the cheap, say in the Taylor Stitch Last Call section, well, that’s all the better. And that brings us to the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Tee, a relatively new modern classic from everyone’s favorite San Francisco brand.

With the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Tee, it all starts, of course, with the fabric itself. The 5oz. 100 percent organic cotton should prove breezy and comfortable, yet it should also drape nicely (thank the brand’s use of chest sizing measurements for that). And it certainly doesn’t hurt that the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Tee is on sale right now for 30 percent off, does it? That knocks the price of this stylish striped T-shirt down to $38, a nice steal for a high-quality tee.

Best men's T-shirt to buy now.

Crucially, the Seagrass Stripe pattern on the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Tee is flattering and just a touch retro, the sort of T-shirt that looks perfect with, well, a pair of Taylor Stitch jeans. The crewneck design is easygoing and versatile enough to wear underneath a denim jacket or all on its own, especially with a pair of laidback lounge pants.

And the price of this tee is so agreeable, you very well might want to load up your cart with other picks from the Taylor Stitch Last Call section — I’ll leave that up to you, but your shopping session should start with the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Tee, no questions asked.

Best men's trucker jacket for spring.

Folks, thanks for swinging by The Style Guide here on this fine spring Friday. Last week, I was in Atlantic City seeing The Killers, but this week, it’s been all New York, all the time. Perhaps you’ve been keeping up with the fun on my Instagram, but it’s been an action-packed week featuring events with the likes of American Crew grooming in Brooklyn — a special VIP evening featuring hair styling sessions at the Crown Club at Barclays Center — not to mention some sports-related fun via Michigan State’s appearance in the NCAA Tournament in NYC. Talk about an ideal way to see your alma mater play!

Beyond that, I’ve been busy prepping for spring and testing plenty of new gear, from the best men’s Chelsea boots to one of the best popover sweaters for spring. With all that in mind, I hope you’ll find the rest of today’s Friday Read to your liking, including my recommendation here for the best new spring menswear from Taylor Stitch.

Give it a look, and shop it right now at Huckberry in the meantime.

  • Speaking of spring style essentials, here’s one you might not have heard of, or considered: The best merino shoes for men. Merino wool is lightweight and warm yet breathable, naturally moisture-wicking and anti-microbial, and found in plenty of the best merino menswear. But what about merino shoes? Yes indeed, that’s where my guide to the best merino shoes comes into play, as I wrote about this month over at AskMen.
  • I’ll leave you with one last stylish spring menswear selection, one right from the very pages of this blog. The Taylor Stitch Jacquard Polo is a textured, visually appealing piece to shake up your casual style rotation, and you can read all about it right here, right now. Happy shopping, once again.

That’s all I’ve got for your Friday Read today, but I’d wager you’ve got more than enough to keep you occupied, from shopping the best new spring menswear from Taylor Stitch to hitting up your favorite brewery for a fresh spring beer this weekend.

See Now, Buy Now: Upgrade Your Spring Wardrobe with the New Taylor Stitch Jacquard Polo

Best men's polos for spring and summer.

Perhaps you, like me, are starting to feel it in the air: Spring is finally on the move, finally rolling into town, and you’re in need of some new spring style essentials. You’re in luck, my friends — Taylor Stitch has you covered, as seems to be the case season after season… after season. All one needs to do is check out the well-stocked, well-curated and incredibly well-designed Taylor Stitch New Arrivals section to see that the brand has you covered from A-to-Z, from denim to one of the best men’s polos, as seen above.

You see, the Taylor Stitch Jacquard Polo takes what you thought you knew about the polo and flips it on its head in a way that only Taylor Stitch can. They’ve done the same thing with the rugged Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater, for instance, and they’re delivering again with the impressive Taylor Stitch Jacquard Polo.

Best men's polos for spring.

What’s the key with the seriously cool Taylor Stitch Jacquard Polo? It starts with the organic cotton fabric, nicely complemented by that organic cotton rib texture for some visual interest beyond a plain cotton polo (although there’s a time and a place for that, too!).

The tailored fit — in chest sizes, as with other Taylor Stitch menswear — is a nice style detail, while side vents offer a classic polo touch. The best part about the Taylor Stitch Jacquard Polo might be color options like Storm and Ash Heather, both a nice departure from navy or black polos. When you want a slightly classed-up alternative to a T-shirt, but an option that works just as well with tailored chinos as it does light wash jeans, reach for the Taylor Stitch Jacquard Polo — you know Taylor Stitch won’t let you down.

Although the days are positively flying by this winter, perhaps you’ve noticed one thing: It’s still bitterly cold out there, and that means you still need to bundle up in winter menswear essentials aplenty. Naturally, that’s where my friends at Taylor Stitch can help, and in a major way if you shop early and often this week. Now, as you’ve no doubt seen in shopping the brand, the Taylor Stitch Last Call section is something of a hidden gem, giving you instant access to an entire range of winter men’s style moves at discounted prices.

Case in point: Today’s featured deal, the chance to save 30 percent on the rugged Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater. It’s quite simply a standout deal for a classic men’s sweater, in this case made from modern, temperature-regulating merino wool in a thick, chunky fisherman-style ribbed knit.

Did I mention the Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater comes in two timeless colors for pairing with everything from tan chinos to inky blue selvedge denim? Yes indeed, and for good measure, the Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater boasts a double-knit ribbed neck for maximum warmth and coverage on blustery winter days.

The Friday Read: Back in Brooklyn & Manhattan’s Best Haircut

Taylor Stitch shirt review.

Well, folks — here we are again rolling into another weekend, and if you follow me on Instagram, you know that I’m back in Brooklyn and back in the New York groove after a quick yet relaxing, sunny Florida vacation. It was just the break I needed before powering back up my freelance writing pursuits (although I stayed plenty busy with writing for WERD.com and Maxim in Florida all the same!).

Satchel and Page

Of course, returning to Brooklyn has me thinking about the changing seasons and some new (early, early) spring style essentials… like the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt as seen above. Is it too early to think about shopping spring menswear essentials? Folks, if you ask me, it’s never too early — hop to it with some time ahead of you this weekend.

And before I send you on your way this weekend, I want to spotlight another way to refresh and recharge, especially if you find yourself in New York City. That old adage that a fresh haircut can change your perspective is certainly true in my book. Yes indeed, there’s no reset quite like a new look, especially if that new look comes complete with an extensive, impressive and ultimately, very relaxing experience like that at NYC’s Pisterzi in Soho.

Best men's grooming essentials.

I recently had the chance to sample the Italian luxury grooming atelier’s entire lineup of products and services, including essential men’s grooming items that really amount more to a work of art than a typical grooming experience. The atelier boasts just two private salon booths at its Soho location (all the better for a more customized experience). Each is handsomely appointed with blue leather and sleek furnishings, and each is ready to deliver everything from a classic haircut to a beard trim.

The space also offers product and styling consultations, and I found my 90-minute experience (La Dolce Vita) to be nothing short of blissful. Unwind with a deep cleansing, soothing facial and beard treatment (plus a haircut and beard trim), and relish the experience of multiple hot towels and the company’s rejuvenating cleanser and Face and Eye Guard Treatment. The even better part?

If you’re not in New York City itself, you can still get the Pisterzi experience from home by ordering its standout lineup online. Would I call it the best haircut in Manhattan? I certainly would, and I encourage you take the weekend to dive more into the atelier’s next-level, luxurious men’s grooming treatments. For now, here’s to a Brooklyn weekend — cheers, my friends!

See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch Flint Jacket is Your New Favorite Jacket

Best Harrington jacket for men.

The process of developing a wardrobe filled with menswear essentials should be fun, you should learn something along the way and yes, it also involves a bit of foresight. So, although we’re still squarely in February right now, you should certainly be thinking about stocking up with one of the best men’s jackets for spring, when things get a bit warmer out.

And the ideal time to do that is, in fact, right now — and perhaps the Taylor Stitch Flint Jacket could be your next prime menswear move. Just like the classically rugged yet modern Taylor Stitch Field Jacket, this durable waxed cotton canvas jacket takes a timeless style and updates it seamlessly for today’s man on the go (that’s you!).

Learn more at Taylor Stitch

It’s the kind of jacket you can wear just about every day, especially if your day-to-day wardrobe leans a little more casually rugged. That’s because the new Taylor Stitch Flint Jacket plays off of the classic Harrington jacket, a style with a stand-up collar and a raglan-sleeve design popularized by style icons like Steve McQueen and first worn across the pond on blustery British days (check out my Fatherly guide to the best Harrington jackets for more insight!). And crucially, the Taylor Stitch Flint Jacket has all of those same bells and whistles, plus a few touches well-suited for this year (and beyond).

Notably, the Taylor Stitch Flint Jacket now features a two-way YKK zipper for a more customizable fit: Use the zipper to add more mobility and ease of movement around your waistline, as Mr. McQueen might have done when riding a motorbike. You’ll find the tough yet flexible waxed canvas moves well and stands up to temperate spring or even late winter breezes and rain, while the Taylor Stitch Flint Jacket is also lined in organic cotton twill.

And for ease of movement when layering up over Taylor Stitch shirts, the Taylor Stitch Flint Jacket features sleeves lined with recycled nylon (so your sleeves don’t catch). Perhaps the coolest part of the Taylor Stitch Flint Jacket? That’d be the Blackwatch plaid color, a design found in the U.K. and one that looks seriously sleek with just about any other color in your wardrobe. Think well ahead right now, secure your new favorite piece of spring outerwear with the Taylor Stitch Flint Jacket — it’s as good as it gets for bolstering your wardrobe.

This time around, spend your Sunday (or the rest of your week) sorting through rugged Taylor Stitch outerwear like the outstanding Taylor Stitch Field Jacket, a highly functional and surprisingly stylish piece of outerwear that manages to call to mind old-school British hunting coats, yet a modern sense of style. In a deep, rich Midnight navy color, the Taylor Stitch Field Jacket is on sale for a whopping 30 percent off right now, and still available in the brand’s helpful range of chest sizes for a precise fit — and as I like to say, it only gets better from there.

You see, the Taylor Stitch Field Jacket is almost the perfect jacket for the brand’s home climate of San Francisco, which can certainly get quite cold and blustery. And for a more temperate winter of your own, or for spring’s unpredictable, wet and wild weather, the Taylor Stitch Field Jacket might be just the ticket.

Best waxed field jacket for men.

As you might expect, the Taylor Stitch Field Jacket is made with classic field jacket touches, like a corduroy collar, yet the fit is streamlined and modern. It really comes down to the body of this tough yet supple jacket, though: It’s made from hard-wearing 100% organic cotton waxed canvas custom-developed for the brand (as with so many stylish Taylor Stitch jackets). That cotton canvas will develop patina over time, and you’ll certainly want to wear this handsome field jacket as often as possible, since roomy hip flap pockets and a zippered chest pocket provide all the EDC storage space you might need.

The bi-swing action back offers plenty of room to move, so you’ll want to layer up this jacket as often as possible through the end of winter into spring. The list of positives stretches on with the Taylor Stitch Field Jacket, but the key is this: You need this durable, dependable jacket in your wardrobe for 30 percent off right now.
