The Thursday Buy: This Todd Snyder Premium Jersey Tee is a Casual Style Upgrade in a Major Way

In the world of men’s style, at least if you ask this Brooklyn style writer, there are times when it’s wise to splurge and step up your game, and there are times when an affordable classic gets the job done just fine.

Take your standard T-shirt: As a work-from-home writer, I tend to reach for a T-shirt most days of the week, but wearing a finely crafted option just feels… different. In the best way possible, in a way that makes me look forward to dusting off my T-shirt rotation at home and on the road. And my friends, I think I know just where you’re going to want to go to get your new favorite T-shirt.

That certainly seems to be the case with the best T-shirts for men — investing in a quality option is a quick way to add more flair, class and quality to your off-duty style rotation, even if it feels more like a style splurge. Are you still with me? And are you ready to amp things up with the Todd Snyder Premium Jersey Tee?

It’s a luxe upgrade to your basics rotation, available in a series of vibrant colors and patterns designed to flatter, fit well and feel like anything but an average, everyday T-shirt. Would you expect anything less from one of the country’s best menswear designers, after all?

At least in my experience, the Todd Snyder Premium Jersey Tee does what the designer (from Iowa but trained in New York City at the likes of Old Navy, Ralph Lauren and J. Crew) really knows how to do best — take a tried-and-true staple, give it a fresh coat of paint in finely crafted fabrication, so to speak, and then offer it in a wide array of fashionable but not ostentatious colors and patterns. Yes indeed, how’s that for ranking the Todd Snyder Premium Jersey Tee as one of the best men’s T-shirts, ehh?

The difference, at least in my experience wearing Todd Snyder T-shirts, is clear right off the bat when it comes to the Todd Snyder Premium Jersey Tee. In fact, as the brand says of its reliably designed, stylish and high-quality men’s T-shirt, “it’s crafted from an all-cotton fabric we call “Premium Jersey,” and that detail makes all the difference from the jump. The next time you find yourself reaching for a stylish T-shirt, one where you’re wanting for higher-quality fabric and construction, make it this option from Todd Snyder, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Todd Snyder Italian Plaid Linen Shirt – A Breezy, Refined Spring Weekend Style Move

Best linen shirts for men.

There are certain instances when building out your spring and summer menswear rotation where it’s advisable to hit things right down the fairway — opt for a breezy classic in matters of tailoring, your trousers or your seasonal shirting.

And there are other times where you can play with the formula ever so slightly and go out on a limb while remaining expertly well-dressed for the season — just with a dash more color or pattern than you might normally wear. And that’s where Todd Snyder, one of America’s foremost menswear designers, can certainly help.

Shop new seasonal style favorites at Todd Snyder

The brand was built on American classics with a modern sensibility, all the while using some of the finest fabrics in the world and more innovative silhouettes at times — like the Todd Snyder Italian Linen Plaid Shirt shown above. In fact, if you’ve been waiting until the thermostat climbs a touch higher to really lean into spring and summer dressing in leisurely, luxe fashion, this might be your best chance yet to embrace the new season at hand.

The Todd Snyder Italian Linen Plaid Shirt boasts the same breezy linen fabrication (more on that in a second) you’ve come to expect from a classic linen shirt, but the pattern is a bit more dashing and eye-catching, as is the point collar and the slightly more relaxed fit — breezy, adventurous in some ways, yet reliably stylish when worn with the rest of your spring and summer favorites.

If you ask me, that’s not a bad thing to have in your style toolbox from time to time, especially if your seasonal plans call for a breezy coastal vacation or perhaps even a long-awaited trip across the pond. The Todd Snyder Italian Linen Plaid Shirt brings a touch of attitude, but can still be worn in classically recognizable ways (try it with cuffed Todd Snyder light wash selvedge denim, for example).

The color and pattern is easygoing and fresh, perfect for wearing untucked with linen trousers in cream or light blue, while the collar gives off a retro, devil-may-care vibe. It’s a more eye-catching, distinctive style move from the designer, a worthwhile change of pace to consider adding to your wardrobe. Of course, tried-and-true staples like a pocket tee or a short-sleeve henley never fail, but when elegant refinement and a chic sense of style calls out to you, consider the Todd Snyder Italian Linen Plaid Shirt.

Best light wash jeans for men.

In my time writing about the best menswear essentials and must-shop brands for guys, I’ve had the chance to watch certain companies blossom and grow, as it were (it’s spring, after all!), turning into new standards for the modern man.

Lofty praise though that might be, that’s what Todd Snyder has brought to the #menswear game and perhaps, to your wardrobe in the past decade-plus, from opening his first store in New York City to changing and perfecting the way guys wear everything from T-shirts to selvedge denim, Italian tailoring, luxe flannel shirt jackets, crisply cut sweater polos and much, much, much more.

I’d wager if you want to look great, you need only shop at Todd Snyder for everything from the basics to style splurges — and a few choice pieces in between, like a pair of the best selvedge denim. Classic denim is something of a specialty for the designer, with some pairs made in L.A. and large amounts made with high-quality 100 percent cotton denim.

It’s selvedge denim of the light wash variety that we’re talking about today, as the Todd Snyder Slim Selvedge Jeans arrive in a suitably spring-ready variation that loosens things up a touch and certainly lightens things up from your typical pair of thick, inky blue selvedge denim. It’s an all-American update to an all-American classic, with a lived-in look and feel that the designer says is “loaded with quality, vintage-inspired details,” including oxidized rivets and a shank button fly, not to mention genuine selvedge trims for a handsome shot of contrast and authenticity.

Yes indeed, in my book, the Todd Snyder Slim Selvedge Jeans look like you’ve had ’em for years, all the while proving lighter and easier to wear in the warmer days of spring than your thickest pair of indigo selvedge (although, speaking from experience, it can be tough to put away beloved pairs of selvedge denim, can it not?).

With a tailored fit through the thigh and a tapered fit through the ankle, these jeans should look crisp and par just as stylishly with chunky leather loafers as with classic suede chukka boots or leather moc toe boots.

In fact, you very well might want to try your hand at dressing up the Todd Snyder Slim Selvedge Jeans ever so slightly with a lightweight navy cotton blazer and a white Oxford shirt this season, among other must-try seasonal combinations. When quality is of the essence and versatility is what your style playbook needs, Todd Snyder is quite simply the man to see, my friends.

Best pocket T-shirts for men.

And as you well know if you read this Brooklyn style blog, there are ways in which the everyday can be amped up in pleasing fashion with ultra-premium materials, something award-winning menswear designer Todd Snyder has perfected over the years.

The Todd Snyder Portuguese Premium Pocket Tee gets the details right every step of the way, starting with soft, luxe all-cotton Premium Jersey fabric in a range of Snyder-approve colors (including the Snyder Olive shade seen above here). It’s an ultra-premium take on a piece you can wear just as easily with stretch chinos and a trucker jacket as with expertly faded blue jeans or contrasting chino shorts (a nice shade of off-white might pair especially well with the Snyder Olive variety of the Todd Snyder Portuguese Premium Pocket Tee, for instance).

It’s garment-washed for added softness and features a crewneck collar for a timeless look, while the overall fit and feel of this piece should allow you to wear it easily underneath a lightweight cotton blazer or all on its own. At $78, yes indeed, the Todd Snyder Portuguese Premium Pocket Tee does boast a premium price tag befitting its name and construction.

Style Pick of the Week: Todd Snyder Terry Pocket Sweatshirt – An Everyday Essential from the Famed Menswear Designer

When a designer like Todd Snyder talks about the best men’s style essentials, pieces every guy should own, it’s a wise bet to listen closely. The award-winning menswear designer and veteran of J. Crew and Ralph Lauren has been shaping the way guys should dress for decades — especially with his namesake line, as you well know if you read this Brooklyn menswear blog. Yes, it’s lofty praise, but when a guy wants to look great in a luxe shirt, or find the perfect pair of selvedge jeans, or switch things up with relaxed tailoring or a Don Draper-approved sweater polo, Todd Snyder is the man to see.

That also holds true with more casual and casually rugged style essentials, like the effortless Todd Snyder x New Balance 574 Sneakers or the just-right Oxford shirt, or an ultra-soft T-shirt, or the just-right fade of Japanese selvedge light wash jeans… the list goes on and on, as you can see.

And now, as part of his new line of Todd Snyder Essentials, the designer is recommending ten must-shop picks every guy should own — starting with a winter-friendly, layering-approved Todd Snyder Pocket Sweatshirt. The designer previously put his own twist on athletic sportswear for years with the Todd Snyder x Champion lineup of luxe yet gym-inspired basics, including the must-buy pocket sweatshirt. It begins anew with one of the best sweatshirts for men, in the best way possible.

The Todd Snyder Pocket Sweatshirt takes the classic pocket sweatshirt and gives it a luxe finish in Portuguese French Terry cotton, light enough to layer comfortably over an Oxford shirt or a thermal henley, and substantial enough to give it some heft underneath a sturdy waxed cotton trucker jacket.

In fact, your new favorite pocket sweatshirt should be well-suited for layering indeed, as the famed retailer (now with more than 20 locations nationwide!) notes this sweatshirt is in fact “roomy through the chest, tapered at the waist” for a more classic look in a nod to old-school athletic sweatshirts.

Split needle construction offers a clean and crisp finish to this sweatshirt whether you score the Todd Snyder Pocket Sweatshirt in a timeless color like Light Grey, or the indigo-inspired Deep Springs. Any option should add depth and a sense of sporty, heritage style to your favorite pieces, be they tobacco-hued stretch chinos, faded blue jeans or perhaps corduroy pants and a chambray shirt for a luxe, high-meets-low look. This certainly won’t be the last time we talk about his new line of Todd Snyder Essentials, so it’s best to start with a fresh take on a throwback classic.

Todd Snyder x New Balance sneakers.

For as much as we talk about winter style must-haves for men like the best leather boots on the market, it’s important to build out your footwear rotation with some variety and diversity, especially as far as fresh sneakers for men are concerned (weather permitting in your neck of the woods, of course). How do we feel about some fashionable new sneakers for a new year, ehh? Particularly from one of the country’s best menswear designers? Read on for more, my friends.

And as we’ve talked about lately on this Brooklyn menswear blog, the new year is as great a time as any to cop some stylish men’s sneakers (“cop” is streetwear parlance for “buy,” of course — how do you do, fellow kids??).

At any rate, even if you’re not a massive sneakerhead, there’s likely not a designer you can trust more to get the style and silhouette just right — as in just right — than the award-winning designer Todd Snyder, folks.

In the same way that the designer can go slightly rugged-yet-refined with one of the best Western shirts for men, for instance, he can also take the classically casual style of New Balance sneakers and amp it up a notch in luxe suede.

And while the casually cool, utterly classic Todd Snyder x New Balance 574 Sneakers aren’t up for grabs at the ongoing Todd Snyder Winter Sale (more on that later this week, folks), these fresh kicks — there’s that word again, fresh! — are certainly the right way to go, at least if the weather holds out and you can rock ’em with rolled chinos or light wash jeans in equal measure.

The Todd Snyder x New Balance 574 Sneakers, billed by Todd Snyder and co. as”the most “New Balance” sneaker to ever come out of New Balance,” the style is iconic in its own right, as wearable with an Oxford shirt and cardigan (plus olive chinos, based on the hue you select) as with a laidback henley and indigo blue jeans.

With a crisp nubuck suede upper and a comfortable, supportive EVA foam midsole and heel, you’re stepping out in easygoing style made to last all day (especially if you want to ease back into office life in more laidback fashion). If a sleek, sneaker-focused style update sounds like what your rotation needs to start the year, step into the Todd Snyder x New Balance 574 Sneakers, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: Todd Snyder Updates the Western Shirt in Classic Corduroy

Updating a classic isn’t quite as tricky as it seems, at least in the hands of the right menswear designer, and since the Western shirt (and all things Western) are having a serious moment right now, it only feels fitting to focus on a revamped classic for the season at hand.

And that revamped classic, at least in the case of today’s feature, is the Todd Snyder Corduroy Western Shirt, a premium and refined-yet-rugged spin that pairs the classic nature of corduroy with the crisp look and feel of a hard-wearing Western shirt.

Shop new menswear favorites at Todd Snyder

You can count on Snyder to take old favorites and make them feel as stylish and as fresh as ever, be it the classic crewneck sweatshirt, the expertly cut and faded blue jean, the sturdy American-made T-shirt or the crisply designed Oxford shirt.

Of course, Snyder’s lineup also includes sweater polos, dress trousers, expert tailoring and sartorially inspired outerwear for all occasions, but there’s something easy to love about the Todd Snyder Corduroy Western Shirt.

The brand says this shirt, particularly in a rich ‘Coppertone’ shade, retains “all the rugged charm of a vintage Western shirt,” but this time uses a soft fine wale corduroy. Mother-of-pearl buttons give the shirt a handsome look and feel, while Western detailing like chest and back yokes adds to its authentic nature.

And there’s also a dressier quality than normal to the Todd Snyder Corduroy Western Shirt, which you can pair seamlessly with durable indigo denim or else pair up with light tan or even olive chinos.

Switch out your dark blue jeans for a lightly faded pair, then match up the Todd Snyder Corduroy Western Shirt with some Western boots, and you’ve got a look fit for work or play (but especially a date night where you want a bit of a look with some elegant attitude all the same).

This shirt also comes in a sleek all-black Caviar colorway, but if you ask me, the Todd Snyder Corduroy Western Shirt is at its finest in a rich, earthy shade of medium-brown. For classic style that feels decidedly modern, you’re going to want the Todd Snyder Corduroy Western Shirt in your rotation this season.

The Tuesday Steal: This Todd Snyder Chore Coat is an Essential Transitional (On-Sale) Layer

When the opportunity arises to bring your fall and winter layers back out of storage, I’d say you should jump at the chance — and while we’re well into autumn, perhaps you’re still searching for the right layer to complement casually rugged looks aplenty.

I’d say one of the best men’s chore coats certainly qualifies, especially if the weather hasn’t quite turned brisk in bone-chilling fashion — in times like these, a lighter, durable, rugged top layer can still be used to great effect when worn over a thicker sweater or flannel shirt, for instance.

And that’s where the good folks at Todd Snyder enter the fray once more, as the award-winning menswear designer’s Todd Snyder Rain Chore Coat lives up to its billing for crisp but not blizzard-worthy seasonal days right now.

Find out more now at Todd Snyder

To be clear, the Todd Snyder Rain Chore Coat isn’t nearly as thick and sturdy as other layers in your rotation, perhaps even including something like the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket. But remember, layers are your friend, and when wind and rain hits, the Todd Snyder Rain Chore Coat should prove highly functional and fashionable all the same. And yes, for just about 25 percent off, the Todd Snyder Rain Chore Coat will absolutely get the job done, my friends.

A blend of cotton and nylon gives it a water-resistant structure and sturdy style points aplenty, as patch pockets deliver a timeless chore coat look and utility for hauling your everyday carry from point A to point B.

Melamine buttons provide durability and performance, while the Lichen shade is utterly classic and military-inspired — look to pair up the Todd Snyder Rain Chore Coat with everything from dark tan chinos and a white Oxford shirt to expertly broken-in dark blue denim and a grey thermal henley.

Of course, the Todd Snyder Rain Chore Coat should also style easily atop a fisherman sweater or a light grey crewneck sweatshirt — and naturally, the fact that the famed designer sells each of these staples alongside the Todd Snyder Rain Chore Coat is a massive bonus, at least in my experience. If it’s reliably durable, rugged-yet-versatile style you seek in every facet of your wardrobe, then this handsome chore coat is an apt, on-sale style move to make now, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: This Todd Snyder Denim Overshirt is the Perfect Blend of Rugged and Refined Style

It’s always a positive, at least in my experience scouring the market for menswear essentials, to come across a fresh take on a tried-and-true staple, the kind we certainly love to talk about here at this Brooklyn menswear blog.

At least in my own personal rotation, the best denim shirts for men are something of a near-daily staple (as you well know if you read this blog regularly or follow me on Instagram).

Follow my daily style on Instagram

And over the years, I’ve come across plentiful excellent examples of the style, including the famed Todd Snyder Italian Denim Overshirt as shown above. In a new edition for 2025 and yet boasting the same banner of quality and rugged-yet-refined style you’ve come to expect from the award-winning designer, the handsome nature of this denim overshirt is perfect for fall when it comes to looks — and its construction is even more well-suited to the season at hand. Let’s dive in a bit further today, shall we?

The Todd Snyder Italian Denim Overshirt reminds me of the durable pieces worn by my father back in Michigan, yet this one features a more modern cut and fabrication (and likely wouldn’t be worn with light wash jeans, as was so often the case back in the ’90s!).

Instead, the Todd Snyder Italian Denim Overshirt makes use of prime Italian cotton denim from Albiate, which is then fashioned into a slim-fit overshirt that seems perfectly primed to wear atop a thermal henley, a pocket tee, a graphic T-shirt or perhaps even on its own, beneath a rugged shawl cardigan.

And yet, keep in mind that an overshirt is a prime seasonal layer, especially when thrown on at a moment’s notice over a perfectly crafted, garment-washed T-shirt (again, it’s a daily staple look of mine!). Two chest pockets give the Todd Snyder Italian Denim Overshirt its utility and structure as an overshirt, whether paired with dark black jeans or perhaps olive canvas pants on a job site, in the garage or at the drafting table (or around a fall bonfire, cold Octoberfest beer in hand).

The stonewashed process gives it plenty of character and style points, while the sturdy build should prove durable and easily wearable season after season — and at $248, I’d want to get as much wear as possible out of your new favorite denim overshirt. Stay tuned for more from Todd Snyder this fall season, and revel in the perfect balance between rugged function and stylish form, my friends.

But for early fall, the texture, weight and style points of a set of the best corduroy pants for men can go a long way, and that’s where famed menswear designer Todd Snyder can certainly help you amp things up ahead of what we all know to be the best season in the style game for guys.

Of course, it all starts with the proper fabrication and build, and in terms of these stylish men’s corduroy pants, that means a blend of cotton and elastane (just a hint of stretch!) along with a slim, flattering fit.

The Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Corduroy Pants also feature a 14-wale corduroy design for a look that’s more thin and streamlined than typical throwback corduroy pants, which boast a wider wale. The handsome Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Corduroy Pants also toe the line between formal and casual, what with their five-pocket design that’s also quite close to your favorite pair of Todd Snyder jeans.

The Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Corduroy Pants also feature design details distinct to the award-winning brand, including custom rivets and a custom back hip logo patch.
