See Now, Buy Now: Embrace Tailored Style This Summer with This Todd Snyder Italian Sportcoat

There are times when beating the heat in style — or at least, trying to — is as much an aspirational pursuit as something a well-dressed, modern man simply has to do. When a summer wedding or a patio soiree or a refined rooftop happy hour are on the docket, putting your best foot forward is often written right into the dress code, is it not?

Embracing a sharp sense of dress while staying as comfortable as possible is an age-old test for your wardrobe and your rotation of summer style essentials, and luckily, Todd Snyder is the man to see this season.

The award-winning American menswear designer blends an Italian dash of sprezzatura with wearable style selections every guy can use, like the humble yet hard-working navy sportcoat. In the case of one Todd Snyder, the Italian Knit Sportcoat — in classic Navy as well as lighter shades like a seasonless, highly versatile Whale Grey — delivers comfort, polished good looks and effortless versatility.

Best blazers for men to wear this summer.

That holds true in nearly any season, as this knit cotton pique sportcoat should wear comfortably over a light blue linen shirt or a white Oxford shirt this season, and then atop a plaid flannel dress shirt — which Todd Snyder also sells, as luck would have it — come the brisk fall and winter months.

Consider it the tip of the iceberg as far as the best blazers for men are concerned, and another utterly classic-meets-modern offering from one of the country’s best menswear designers. And like other traditonal sportcoats made from fabrics like cotton and linen, the sleeves of the Todd Snyder Italian Knit Sportcoat are lined for an easy-on, easy-off wearing experience and added structure in the sleeves themselves.

The Todd Snyder Italian Knit Sportcoat also gets the more casual details right, from hip patch pockets to dark buttons (unlike gold buttons found on some ultra-traditional navy blazers).

The fit should prove tailored and yet not overly tight nor overly relaxed, while the lack of padding within the Todd Snyder Italian Knit Sportcoat makes this the perfect hybrid of casual form and tailored function, whether paired with tobacco-hued chinos, dark olive linen trousers or even light wash jeans, as the designer styled the jacket with himself.

The great thing is, you can get plentiful wear out of one of the best blazers for men starting right now and rolling into the season ahead, especially if you select an ultra-wearable color like Navy. For tailored style that simply doesn’t quit,, look no further than this refined sportcoat from a champion menswear designer.

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.

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.

In ways that you might not expect, even choice casual style staples can be elevated in luxe fashion — yes, even the humble and hard-working T-shirt, a centerpiece in an off-duty wardrobe and one that can be worn just about any way you please (within reason, of course). 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.

Case in point: Well, the humble T-shirt, for one. It’s the kind of piece that normally doesn’t raise too many eyebrows, but if you nail the fit and the fabric, the results become clear right away: Yes, the T-shirt can indeed be upgraded in bold, pleasing fashion, and again, Todd Snyder knows just how to do that, my friends.

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.

And yet, once you’ve tried on this piece, I’d wager you’ll experience an entirely new world in matters of fit and fabrication. When done the right way (the Todd Snyder Way, some might say), the Todd Snyder Portuguese Premium Pocket Tee offers an entirely new perspective on casual style staples, my friends.

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.

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.
