The Sunday Sale: It’s the Last Day to Shop the Huckberry Annual Summer Sale — Stock Up As Soon as Possible

Huckberry Summer Sale 2024.

In the world of menswear essentials, there’s nothing quite like what you might call a “measure twice, cut once” approach. That could mean carefully scouring the market for pieces you love, pieces you need, pieces that can expand your wardrobe of menswear essentials the right way.

And then, when the time comes, carefully moving forward with your purchase — again, measure twice, cut once. That’s perhaps no more true than with the Huckberry Annual Summer Sale — bear with me here, folks. We talked earlier in the week about some of the best menswear deals on the market, with savings on everything from the best sneakers for men to the best summer shorts, sunglasses, everyday carry essentials and more.

And now, well, the time has come to make a move, to get down to the “cutting” part — the time has come to add to your cart, make a purchase or two and get a move on, because it’s the last day to score some savings via the Huckberry Annual Summer Sale. See, doesn’t that make perfect sense?

The savings are excellent at the moment (up to 40 percent off, as we talked about earlier this week) and again, there’s a bit of everything up for grabs, from utility shorts to backpacks to hiking sneakers via the jam-packed Huckberry Sale section. The clock really is ticking, so take careful note of what your wardrobe needs, then act accordingly on the last day of the action-packed Huckberry Annual Summer Sale.

Style Pick of the Week: Relwen Tropical Trap Blazer – A Surefire Way to Beat the Heat

There’s one thing that should be top of mind as you fill out your wardrobe of summer style essentials in the dog days of summer: Beating the heat in style. That goes for tailored affairs as well as casual style situations, and that’s where one of the best lightweight blazers for men (today’s Style Pick, as luck would have it) comes in mighty handy.

In my experience, there’s hardly a better place to shop for fashionable, functional solutions to casually cool style than Huckberry, and that holds true (to say the least) with the Relwen Tropical Trap Blazer.

It hails from the acclaimed Ohio brand’s rotation of classically inspired pieces, the kind that — like your new favorite blazer — are inspired by old-school looks, then updated with modern fabric. When it comes to the Relwen Tropical Trap Blazer, that inspiration comes from sporting coats worn out in the field, hence useful details like a button throat latch, patch pockets and a four-button design.

Best lightweight blazer for men.

The Relwen Tropical Trap Blazer, even more crucially, boasts some of the most lightweight fabric offered by the brand (in this case, that’s a blend of 80 percent linen and 20 percent cotton). It’s also lined in cotton for added structure, although this lightweight blazer should still prove plenty comfortable and wearable in the heat.

That goes for wearing it atop your favorite T-shirt, dressing it down with one of the best henleys for men or dressing it up with a classic Oxford shirt and stylish stretch chinos (don’t forget Huckberry’s leather loafers) for a crisp, cool look that can go from the office to happy hour without missing a beat.

Particularly in a classic navy color, the Relwen Tropical Trap Blazer can do just about anything style-wise, and that’s versatility that I can certainly appreciate.

Oh, and last but very certainly not least: The Relwen Tropical Trap Blazer is available now on sale (it’s $253, marked down from $298) via the Huckberry Annual Summer Sale. Strike while the iron is hot to score one of the best men’s lightweight blazers, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: The Filson Outlet Summer Sale Offers Deals on the Best Rugged Menswear for the Season (and Beyond)

Filson men's gear review.

If you’ve been keeping up with the blog on the regular, you’re well aware that the quest for a truly great deal never really stops, at least when it comes to the best gear for men. And as the thermostat climbs and the quest for adventure (or at least, an icy cold watering hole) beckons, there’s one place I like to turn towards in my search for the best rugged gear for men.

If you guessed Pacific Northwest heritage outfitter Filson, you’d be correct, and there’s an even better reason to shop the famed gear company this very week: We’re in the midst of the Filson Summer Outlet Sale, which offers up to 50 percent off the best menswear and gear across the board. It’s the sort of sale that doesn’t come around very often, which is an even better reason to peruse the company’s offerings.

In my experience, Filson gear is made to a bit of everything, from day hikes to park strolls to weekend getaways upstate and beyond. That goes for something as essential as the Filson Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt to something a bit more rough-and-tumble, like the rugged Filson Granite Mountain Shorts.

There are dozens upon dozens of the best men’s gear picks available that’ll come in handy right now, from waxed canvas bags to lightweight shorts, and there are also picks from the Filson Summer Outlet Sale that you can put to great use in the months ahead, like flannel shirts and hard-wearing denim.

Any way you slice it, there’s no bad way to shop Filson’s latest and greatest sale. Let me know what you end up scoring in the comments below, and here’s to summer, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: These Walden Eyewear Sunglasses from Huckberry Are Bold Yet Classic (And Perfect for Summer)

Best men's sunglasses to buy now.

When I think about it, there are really a host of men’s style essentials and gear picks that you need to get right before you actually need them in your wardrobe. Be it a breezy men’s T-shirt at the ready for exceptionally hot days or one of the best pairs of men’s shorts, there are plentiful opportunities that fit that very bill in the summer, particularly from a prized online retailer like Huckberry.

And perhaps most of all, there’s the need need to snag a pair of the best sunglasses for men before it’s too late. And that brings us today’s standout selection, a standout deal in its own right: The Walden Eyewear Pilot Sunglasses from our friends at Huckberry check every box you might can think of as you prowl the market for a fresh pair of shades as we cruise past the midway point of summer.

Walden Eyewear review.

There’s much to love about these sunglasses, starting with the iconic and classic-meets-modern silhouette, one that plays off the timeless aviator shape and refreshes it as only Huckberry (one of the best online retailers for men) can do. The even better news? These stylish men’s sunglasses are available now via the Huckberry Annual Summer Sale, delivering some serious savings in the process (they now retail for under $100).

Introduced last year, the Walden Eyewear line at Huckberry takes crisp, classically designed silhouettes of the past, like the circular or oval sunglass shape, and updates them with modern materials and improved durability.

The Walden Eyewear Pilot Sunglasses fit the bill very nicely in that regard, with “hyper-wearable” details like a tapered temple design, a strong frame shape and a handsome selection of bio-acetate colors upgraded with recycled steel hardware for durability.

Given the time of year — the high heat of summer — and the chance to save big on a menswear must-have, I’d say there’s really no time like the present to score yourself some savings on the Walden Eyewear Pilot Sunglasses. Cheers, my friends.

Yes indeed, the Walden Eyewear Pilot Sunglasses get the job done handily, whether paired with your favorite polo and chino shorts or one of the best short-sleeve henleys and trusty light wash jeans.

Huckberry Summer Sale 2024

It’s as solid a seasonal sale as any on the market, with the lauded retailer giving you up to 40 percent off on, well, a bit of everything from its famed wares.

Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts review.

In taking a quick spin through the standout assortment of the best men’s gear at Huckberry, you’ll find not only classic brand picks like the Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts, but also newer style steals like Walden Eyewear sunglasses, Flint and Tinder chambray shirting and sleek loafers to top it all off.

See Now, Buy Now: These Faherty Knit Cord Shorts are the Casually Cool Pick for the Summer Heat

Faherty Brand men's shorts.

By this point in the summer, you very well might feel you’ve exhausted your options as far as the best summer style essentials go. After all, there’s only so many times you can reach for one of the best men’s T-shirts or even a pair of the best men’s shorts without it all feeling a bit routine, right?

I’m here to tell you that’s not always the case, especially if you shop one of my favorite brands of the moment: The good folks at Faherty Brand have delivered perhaps your new favorite pair of shorts, with just enough stylish tweaks to make ’em feel fresh, breezy and utterly cool.

It also goes without saying that Faherty is as reliable a resource as any for one of the best summer shirts, so what could be a better complementary piece than new shorts in a fresh cut? There’s not much, particularly when casual style situations come calling — that goes for BBQs, backyard hangs, brewery beers and coastal getaways, and the Faherty Essential Italian Knit Cord Shorts are practically an essential selection.

For starters, the Faherty Essential Italian Knit Cord Shorts take retro style cues and bring them forward into the 21st century, using details like a shorter, flattering 6-inch inseam as the canvas for some throwback-inspired shorts.

Coastal style inspiration makes these some seriously stylish shorts for men, and the use of knit cord made from organic cotton gives them nice texture and a light, soft and even stretchy feel. Best of all is the fact that they feature an elastic drawcord waist for plenty of comfort.

And yet, folks needn’t be any the wiser that you’re going belt-less, at least if your T-shirt or polo hits at or slightly below that waistband. The Faherty Essential Italian Knit Cord Shorts also cover off nicely in matters of style, what with a range of flattering color options ranging from earth tones to a dusty pink and a handsome cream color.

Comfort and variety remain the name of the game when it comes to these stylish cord shorts, which are just different enough from modern chino shorts to add some fresh style to your wardrobe — yes, even in the summer heat. Happy shopping out there, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: This Todd Snyder Tee is a Breezy Casual Style Option for Summer

Some of my favorite style essentials for men are picks that don’t add too much hassle or fuss to your menswear wardrobe. Picks like one of the best T-shirts for men, for instance, and especially one from a trusted menswear brand like Todd Snyder.

The right T-shirt, one with super-soft fabric, a flattering fit and subtle style details, can prove as invaluable when worn on its own as when layered beneath your favorite denim jacket or an unbuttoned camp collar shirt. In my experience, one of the best T-shirts for men is worth spending a bit more money on, particularly when it’s made by one of the country’s finest menswear designers. But since we’re talking deals today, I’ve got even better news for you.

That’s right: The Todd Snyder Made in L.A. Homespun Pocket Tee lives up to its name in every way possible, and that only gets better when you consider the fact that it’s on sale right now for nearly 30 percent off. It’s a standout wardrobe addition, especially in a color like Hickory, which wears well with cream-colored jeans, with light wash denim or even with olive or light khaki chino shorts.

The Todd Snyder Made in L.A. Homespun Pocket Tee also features signature details from the designer, like a button chest pocket. Plus, garment-dyed slub spun jersey cotton should prove ultra-soft, breathable and nicely textured — your standard undershirt, this is not. You see, the Todd Snyder Made in L.A. Homespun Pocket Tee can stand out handsomely all on its own, and when you throw in a nice discount, you’re getting a downright steal that changes the game for your T-shirt rotation.

Style Pick of the Week: Filson Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt – Summer’s Perfect Adventure Shirt

Filson Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt review.

There comes a point in the summer season when a man’s wardrobe of summer style essentials should be as easily accessible and as thoughtfully curated as possible.

These are times when you needn’t worry too much about what to wear next, because you’ve already acquired the best lightweight long-sleeve shirt, the best pair of breezy pants, the perfect pair of swim trunks and so on. And for all those times, I trust a brand like legendary Pacific Northwest heritage outfitter Filson.

The famed company delivers on all fronts, whether you seek one of the best short-sleeve henleys or one of the best travel bags, and then some. Of course, the Filson Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt is the latest and greatest entry into your menswear rotation, with a longstanding heritage of quality, comfort and versatile appeal.

As the headline says, it might be summer’s perfect adventure shirt, at least in my experience with Filson’s rugged menswear. Durable 6 oz. 100 percent cotton twill makes the difference, giving this shirt both hard-wearing appeal — for camping, for fly fishing, for hiking and as an extra layer atop your favorite T-shirt around a smoky summer bonfire.

Best summer shirt for men.

Plus, the Filson Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt gets the details right, like two button-front chest pockets for everyday carry essentials. It also boasts a relaxed fit for layering, be that atop a short-sleeve T-shirt, your favorite long-sleeve henley or even a breezy linen shirt — it’s both a shirt and a jacket in that regard.

And since it hails from Filson, you can rest easy knowing that the Filson Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt is hard-working, extremely well-made and available in a stylish array of plaid patterns and rich colors. The Filson Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt very nearly checks all the boxes when it comes to one of the best men’s shirts for summer, and that makes it a winner in my book (and in your wardrobe).

The Friday Read: Buck Mason’s Latest Summer Menswear, The Best Short-Sleeve Shirts & Taylor Stitch Chinos

Buck Mason summer menswear 2024.

Summer is flying by evermore swiftly, but not in a bad way, at least not in my neck of the woods: There are park strolls, beach days, boardwalk visits and brewery beers, and with more of the same on the way this weekend, I’m trusting my favorite Buck Mason menswear to carry me, well, everywhere.

In my experience, the brand gets the details right with an all-American assortment of super-soft tees in dusty colors, expertly cut jeans, hard-working shorts, breezy camp-collar shirts and some of the best swim trunks on the market (to name but a few categories in which Buck Mason excels).

If you feel the same way, then you know this to be true, but if not, it’s worth considering picking up a few Buck Mason menswear essentials — head here to read more about how it makes some of the best men’s T-shirts, the best chambray shirt and much more. It’s like I said: From summer rooftop happy hours to breezy weekend brewery visits, rock concerts and everything in between, Buck Mason delivers.

I anticipate more of the same this weekend as I try to stay cool in the Brooklyn heat, menswear and cold beer very much included. And for your own stylish summer pursuits, here are a few essential reads to kick things off the right way — we’ll see you out there, my friends.

  • Speaking of staying cool in the heat, I know at least one way to combat rising temperatures while putting your best foot forward in matters of style. That’d be one of the best short-sleeve shirts, and I covered a selection of my favorites at a range of price points over at Maxim.com. Shop accordingly and stay cool (and stylish), my friends.
  • If you keep up with the blog on the regular, you’re well-aware that I find it hard to pass up a deal, particularly a deal on the best men’s chinos from one of my favorite brands. In this instance, that deal hails from the good folks at Taylor Stitch and Bespoke Post, where you can find savings of 30 percent on the Taylor Stitch Foundation Pants in the brand’s wear-with-anything Democratic fit.
  • Let’s ring in the weekend with one last menswear selection for the taking, shall we? Over at Huckberry, I think you’ll be pleased to find that the company’s in-house sustainable menswear brand, Wellen, dreamed up a stylish short-sleeve shirt for men that perfectly merges fashion and function, all thanks to a moisture-wicking fabric and a quick-drying design. Take it on the links, to a summer BBQ and everywhere in between, my friends.

That’ll wrap up today’s Friday Read quite nicely indeed — hopefully, that trio of stylish menswear picks is enough to sort you out in terms of some prime reading and shopping suggestions for the seasonal heat. Be sure to check back tomorrow for our trusty Style Pick of the Week, and then again on Sunday for a discount on some fine menswear via the Sunday Sale. Cheers and as always, thanks for reading!

At a certain point in the summer, it’s a wise bet to switch up your trusty seasonal style essentials ever so slightly in favor of a change of pace. For instance, instead of lacing up yet another pair of stylish men’s dress shoes, perhaps consider reaching for the refined loafer, or rather, a pair of the best loafers for men. particularly a pair stocked and sold by your friends at Huckberry.

Perhaps you recognize Astorflex for making some of the very best chukka boots for men, but that’s only the tip of the iceberg. And when it comes to the Astorflex Patnoflex Travel Loafers, they carry on that same lineage of comfort and quality in spades. They boast a soft leather upper, available in rich earth tones that match nicely with everything from cream-colored linen trousers to light wash jeans.

The Astorflex Patnoflex Travel Loafers are unlined for easy-on, easy-off comfort and a lightweight look and feel — this also makes them quite useful as you pack up to travel to a summer wedding or seasonal getaway.

The Astorflex Patnoflex Travel Loafers also feature a strong rubber heel for grip and support, the outsole itself is rubber — chalk up another one in terms of comfort and long-lasting wearability.
