The Thursday Buy: These Todd Snyder Linen Trousers Will Replace Your Favorite Jeans This Season

Best linen pants for men.

If you’re anything like me, perhaps you simply can’t find a way to stop wearing your favorite pairs of jeans, even in the summer heat. It makes (some) sense stylistically, after all — the best men’s jeans, especially in lightweight fabrication and a light wash — are a tried-and-true summer style essential, as easy to wear with an Oxford shirt as with a classic pocket tee.

So, it’s helpful that famed American menswear designer Todd Snyder came up with an alternative as far as stylish men’s jeans for summer: Meet the Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants, which merge the same silhouette as your favorite blue jeans with the helpful lightweight fabrication of breezy linen.

With the same crisp detailing as five-pocket blue jeans — this time available in a suitably summer-ready shade of light Khaki — the legendary menswear designer bills these pants as “soft but sturdy,” noting that the fabric “retains the best elements of both fibers: lightweight and breathable” (compared to traditional cotton denim, that is).

The Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants are both rugged and casual yet smart at the same time — built like jeans, but with the comfort and polish to pair with everything from a camp collar shirt and leather loafers to a lightweight navy cotton blazer and a grey Oxford shirt (try it out sometime alongside the Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants and feel free to report back).

In the meantime, the straight leg cut should wear well with everything from canvas sneakers to Todd Snyder x Sperry boat shoes (also a personal favorite, in my experience!).

When it really comes down to it this season, versatile style is the name of the game, and trading in your dark wash jeans for something with a touch more refinement — and a touch more lightweight comfort — is a wise move as the thermostat continues to climb. Find the Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants now in your preferred size — there’s stock available, but you might find your new favorite summer trousers are selling fast, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: Sperry and Todd Snyder Just Teamed Up on the Perfect Summer Boat Shoes

In the ever-evolving world of men’s style, I like to keep an eye on the horizon for the best menswear designers and brands, companies one can truly trust to fill a need and to deliver on quality and style, time and time again.

That holds true for some of my favorite brands big and small — perhaps you feel the same way, but in the universe of American menswear, it’s hard to say there’s anyone doing it quite as well as Todd Snyder when it comes to refinement, expert great looks and a sense of respect for heritage style.

That’s heady praise, to be sure, but it all comes together quite nicely when you sample the designer’s array of stylish sneakers for men, the best linen shorts and now, a standout pair of heritage-quality boat shoes here just in time for summer.

The boat shoe is an icon of American style, with its roots on the water and on boat decks — and back on dry land, worn in preppy fashion by plenty of masters of men’s style. It makes perfect sense that Todd Snyder — one of my favorite designers, of course — sets his sights on both the past and the present with the new Sperry x Todd Snyder Vachetta Leather Boat Shoes.

These stylish boat shoes for men are now part of a collection that also includes two exclusive updates to the iconic Sperry CVO Canvas Sneakers. How’s that for sorting out your casual summer footwear needs in fine fashion, ehh? Available in sizes 8-13 as of now, these stylish men’s boat shoes seem to be selling quite quickly at Todd Snyder — as fine a place as any to go for a summer style upgrade, yes? Why not throw in a linen shirt or trousers, I say.

The Sperry x Todd Snyder Vachetta Leather Boat Shoes reimagine Sperry’s Authentic Original Boat Shoes in a design exclusive to Todd Snyder, using remarkable Vachetta leather for the upper, along with rawhide laces for a rugged touch.

Unlike some other boat shoes, which can feel a touch flimsy or thin, the new Sperry x Todd Snyder Vachetta Leather Boat Shoes — available in both handsome Natural and sleek all-black Leather — rest upon an EVA foam midsole and a non-slip Vibram outsole for further support and comfort. The outsole on the Sperry x Todd Snyder Vachetta Leather Boat Shoes is particularly impressive, with a thick and rugged build that, again, is different than other boat shoes on the market.

When paired with everything from a breezy jersey cotton polo and chino trousers to lounge shorts and a short-sleeve pocket tee, these boat shoes do everything the designer intends — and then some. And with a leather build that only gets better with age, the Sperry x Todd Snyder Vachetta Leather Boat Shoes are a perfect summer pair of summer footwear, at least in my experience. Go forth in style, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: These Todd Snyder Linen Shorts are as Comfortable and Stylish as It Gets for Summer

Breezy style is the name of the game this season, and for that, you’re going to need a pair of fresh lightweight shorts with plenty of style points behind ’em. There’s a way to balance effortless good looks and comfort, and of course, you can trust a designer like famed American menswear maestro Todd Snyder to get the balance just right as far as the best menswear for summer is concerned — very much including the best shorts for men as shown at the top of the page.

Lightweight, ultra-breezy style and plenty of comfort certainly applies to the designer’s lightweight shirting, tailoring and knit polos as well as another crucial part of your #OOTD — your bottom half. And while the designer’s chinos and expertly faded light wash denim are more than agreeable for the season at hand, sometimes, the situation calls for something a touch lighter.

And that something lighter in this case? A pair of the best linen shorts, ones fit for something as casual as a backyard BBQ or as refined as a rooftop party alongside leather loafers and a sweater polo (more on those pairings shortly).

The company says this particular pair happen to be the “perfect shorts for any time you want to channel chill vibes without sacrificing style points,” complete with 100 percent linen construction and a super-comfortable drawstring elastic waistband.

The inseam on the Todd Snyder Linen Beach Shorts hits nicely above the knee for a tailored look without feeling too stuffy, while utility hand pockets lend these a touch of casual class.

The Todd Snyder Linen Beach Shorts are also garment-dyed for both rich color and comfort, and the leg opening is nicely tailored rather than baggy. The handsome Todd Snyder Linen Beach Shorts come in an array of fresh colors, like the deep tan of Gilded Gold and the on-trend deep brown hue of the Cigar offering.

In my experience, it goes without saying that the Todd Snyder Linen Beach Shorts are as ready to pair with a pocket tee and white leather sneakers as they are with a cotton polo and leather loafers. Find your next expert summer style move with a pair of the best shorts for men from a legendary designer, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: This Todd Snyder Field Shirt is Wildly Discounted and Perfect for Cool Spring Nights

Some deals just come along that are too good, at least on the surface, to pass up. And some of the best menswear deals live up to that billing handily, too: Quality meets affordability, particularly among your favorite menswear brands.

For a dash of luxury, a hit of functional spring layering and some seasonal style with attitude — at the right price — we turn today towards Todd Snyder, award-winning menswear designer and a man on a mission to take over your wardrobe.

Snyder’s foray into menswear now results in everything from durable henleys to expertly faded jeans, soft-yet-sturdy flannel shirts and of course, an array of breezy spring and summer tailored essentials. But before we get into the high heat of summer, a few choice layers are still of the essence — like the Todd Snyder Corduroy Field Shirt shown above. First off: Speaking of a deal, it’s a whopping 76 percent off right now in an array of sizes.

Next up: Its utility, which comes in the form of a cotton corduroy build. While corduroy is traditionally found in the colder climes of fall and winter, the Todd Snyder Corduroy Field Shirt can still prove useful when things cool off on spring evenings, or when a spring day dawns unexpectedly chilly.

The great thing about the luxe build of the Todd Snyder Corduroy Field Shirt is that it just so happens to combine the rugged appeal of an overshirt with the sleek look of black corduroy — you could even wear this shirt atop a grey or white Oxford shirt as a daring substitute for a blazer.

Either way, I’d say the Todd Snyder Corduroy Field Shirt is a fun piece to experiment with — it can also pull double-duty in the colder months worn over a turtleneck shirt. The designer calls it “the best of both worlds,” and it’s hard to argue with that sentiment — with dark blue jeans or with olive chinos, it’ll look dashing and pleasingly rugged. And remember: While it’s a change of pace, this handsome field shirt is a whopping 76 percent off right now. If I were you, I’d certainly give it a shot.

The Thursday Buy: This Todd Snyder Hemp-Cotton Overshirt Is an Expert Spring Layer for Refined Style

Is the quest for the perfect spring wardrobe ever complete? Not quite, at least not if you want to find the best possible versions of a few key men’s style essentials, like the ever-reliable shirt jacket — an expertly cut layer in the right hands, thanks to the design vision of award-winning menswear designer Todd Snyder.

The New York City-based expert tends to put his own refined spin on even the more rugged classics, especially like the humble shirt jacket, or “shacket.” When you want a new outlook on old favorites, consider Todd Snyder — and consider making the carefully developed construction of the Todd Snyder Hemp-Cotton Overshirt a part of your seasonal layering rotation.

While his tailoring and even footwear selection tends to lean more elegant, there’s a certain dashing, casually cool and rugged-yet-elevated outlook when it comes to pieces like the Todd Snyder Hemp-Cotton Overshirt.

Best spring shirt jackets for men.

Think of this like the overshirt you wear when you want to lend a dash of effortless cool to a chambray shirt or even a henley — the Todd Snyder Hemp-Cotton Overshirt can effectively elevate even slightly more casual pieces. But with the best shirt jackets for men, it’s best to not overthink it — the brand has already done that for you, and it shows in the comfortable, performance-minded yet polished construction of the shirt jacket itself.

The Todd Snyder Hemp-Cotton Overshirt gets its mix of structure and breathability from a blend of hemp, cotton and merino wool, an ingenious touch that gives it softness and a touch of warmth. The chest pocket is a handy design feature you can put to good use for stashing an EDC pen or small field notebook, making this a casually cool weekend shirting option.

In a deep shade of Brown or a lighter shade of Tan, it teams up rather nicely with shades of olive and indigo, made all the better by pairing it up with a grey henley or pocket tee. The Todd Snyder Hemp-Cotton Overshirt can even be worn atop a grey crewneck sweatshirt — a way to dress up a casual staple. With the right blend of lightweight fabric, durable structure and ever-so-slightly refined good looks, this shirt jacket is a surefire spring style upgrade, no doubt about it.

The Thursday Buy: This Todd Snyder Western Shirt is an Elevated Take on a Stylish Classic

Best Western shirts for men.

The idea behind building a wardrobe full of versatile men’s style essentials is a constant pursuit, is it not? I’ve found, in my experience, that having your building blocks in place — pieces you can wear every single day, in various combinations — makes it a lot easier to adapt to selections that are a slight swerve from the norm. Big-time stuff, yes?

Luckily for all of us here at this Brooklyn style blog, I’ve found that Todd Snyder takes on both sides of the coin more than stylishly — both the classics and those “slight swerves” from the norm.

Take, for example, one of the best Western shirts for men. It’s a departure from a classic Oxford shirt for men or even a chambray shirt, but when a designer like the award-winning Todd Snyder puts his own spin on it, you can certainly trust that you’re getting the best of the best — in terms of quality, style and versatility. Again, big-time stuff, yes?

And that’s what makes the Todd Snyder + Hamilton Twill Western Shirt an outstanding wardrobe addition: It takes the familiar, like that of a rugged Western shirt, then gives it a refined spin by way of both one of the country’s best menswear designers (Todd Snyder) and the longtime maker of some of the best dress shirts for men (that’d be Hamilton, a longtime favorite of the Iowa-born designer).

Details both classic and modern are accounted for when it comes to the Todd Snyder + Hamilton Twill Western Shirt, including USA-made, 100 percent cotton twill construction in a rich, wear-with-nearly-anything shade of olive. It also features snap buttons and back yoke detailing, like you’d find on other options when it comes to the best Western shirts for guys, yet the Todd Snyder + Hamilton Twill Western Shirt is updated with crisp dress shirt cuffs.

Could you go so far as to wear the Todd Snyder + Hamilton Twill Western Shirt underneath a soft-shouldered Italian blazer from the legendary designer? You certainly could, but your new favorite Western shirt might be just as at home with black denim and tan leather boots (among other combinations).

Take a swing at something a bit different from the norm, and be sure to thank me later (ha, kidding!). Cheers to the unexpected, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: This Todd Snyder Sportcoat is A True Style Find — at the Right Price

Best sportcoats for men to buy in 2025.

When you slip into a truly well-made menswear staple piece, like a carefully crafted, luxurious (yes, luxurious) edition of one of the best sportcoats for men, the difference is immediate, noticeable and certainly stylish. But what’s a well-dressed man to do when the chance to shop those sorts of pieces is often fleeting, and perhaps expensive? Todd Snyder is here with an answer, my friends.

The answer: Keep a close eye out for the best menswear deals, and recognize when a selection like the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket goes on sale. It’s not a true bargain bin discount from perhaps the best menswear designer in the country, but it’s as close as possible these days — at 30 percent off, the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket is both a style and a wise sort of splurge (but not a full-price splurge!) if you want to upgrade your casual tailoring.

You see, the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket is built with all the hallmarks of one of the best winter blazers for men, with 100% Virgin Wool craftsmanship for an ultra-soft finish. Further classic details, like timeless notch lapels in a width that’s right, cement this piece as a modern update of the classic grey flannel suit.

The jacket boasts a butterfly lining (look at the inside of the jacket’s back, while its sleeves are also lined — that way, your dress shirt sleeves won’t snag or bunch as you slide on the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket. It also features double vents, so it’s a formal spin on the blazer, which sometimes features a single vent.

Perhaps the best part about the crisply cut Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket – which is available now for 30 percent off in a wide range of sizes — is the fact that you can pair this jacket with its matching Todd Snyder Sutton suit pants, or else style it with seasonal favorites, like olive chinos or burgundy corduroys.

I myself would also feel comfortable wearing the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket with dark blue jeans for a dash of high-low style, but when in doubt, stick to pairing this handsome suit jacket with formal trousers in shades like navy, rust, olive or tan. Oh, and make special note of the fact that the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket is only on sale for a limited time at 30 percent off — the rest of the season is as stylish as it gets, my friends.

Best cardigan sweaters for men.

If you’ve been keeping up with this Brooklyn style blog over the years, you very well might notice that some things have stayed consistent: A love of the best chambray shirts, classics like blue jeans and of course, staples like rugged leather boots.

But what about the erstwhile cardigan — one of the best sweaters for men, in my opinion, and one made to great fanfare (and quality) by one of the country’s best menswear designers, Todd Snyder. Yes indeed, what do you make of this style, my friends?

Even the most classic cardigan can look a touch trendy for some — or even a touch too retro or stuffy — but there’s no doubt (in my experience) that the Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan is a picture-perfect example of the style if you want to switch up your rotation of the best men’s sweaters.

Best sweaters for men.

The Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan gets the details correct in terms of casually cool style — the ribbed texture gives it a dash of visual interest and appeal, while cardigans made from fibers like cashmere might be more refined.

A contrasting placket also adds a dash of intrigue — the Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan is a crisply cut sweater that’s as at home over a stretch dress shirt as it is atop a T-shirt or a long-sleeve waffle henley.

The Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan is part of the perfect mix of high-low style: Try it underneath a blazer (but atop a T-shirt in a solid color), or else style yours with the aforementioned dress shirt, a knit tie and chinos at the office.

The Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan is even fashioned with raglan sleeves for a further shot of contrast and a flattering fit — this luxurious sweater is pricier than other sweaters in your rotation, but worth your hard-earned cash all the same, particularly given its versatile color. As the brand says, your new favorite sweater is here, and it might just be the Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan
