Thom Browne Unstructured Virgin Wool Hopsack Sport Coat
Call it the horseshoe theory of fashion. Thom Browne, for so long at the avant-garde of men’s tailoring, has produced a hopsack blue blazer that your Brooks Brothers-worshiping grandfather would have recognized.

Polo Ralph Lauren Team USA Fleece Sweatshirt
Starting a good ol’ U-S-A chant is one thing but sporting a fleece sweatshirt appliquéd with the nation’s initials is another. Released as part of a Polo Ralph Lauren capsule celebrating Team USA on the eve of the Paris Olympics, the crewneck is also a 4th of July essential.
BUY NOW ON RALPH LAUREN:
Paul Smith Men’s Pleated Bib-Front Evening Dress Shirt
In the right hands, a pleated tuxedo shirt can look chic. It can also call to mind a certain garment of Seinfeld infamy. Sitting on the right side of that ledger is this bib-front evening shirt by Paul Smith, whose micro-pleats add texture and interest without ever looking over-the-top.
BUY NOW ON NEIMAN MARCUS:
Oyster Tennis Club Members Hat
Maybe it’s the influence of Challengers and the impending Paris Olympics. Or perhaps it’s that tennis style has always been sexy. In any case, tout your membership to the (nonexistent) Oyster Tennis Club with this nylon cap from the cheeky label.

Our Legacy Above Oversized Striped TENCEL™ Lyocell Shirt
There are two surefire ways to beat the heat, shirt-wise. You can opt for a roomier fit, or seek out a feather-weight fabric like lyocell. This striped shirt from Our Legacy checks both boxes.

Smock Laguna Short Corduroy in Washed Grey
If you equate corduroy solely with fall and winter on the East Coast, you’ve got it all wrong. There’s a rich history of cord shorts serving as California beach bum gear, a tradition revived by these enzyme-washed, 6-wale corduroy shorts from Smock.

Lemaire Yellow Cotton Knitted Shirt
If we were to costume a Clue remake set on present-day Mallorca in summertime, we’d clad Colonel Mustard in this drop-shoulder Lemaire knit in the precise shade of Dijon.

John Elliott Buttoned Denim Shorts
Already a summer staple, why should white denim be any less versatile in truncated form? John Elliott’s off-white short made us update our views accordingly.

Dunhill Seersucker Glen Check Travel Jacket
Dunhill shows us how the English do seersucker with a lightweight stretch wool in a smashing tonal glen check. True to the “travel” designation, it’s left unlined for maximum breathability.

Drake’s Blue Stripe Block Print Cotton Camp Collar Short Sleeve Shirt
No, the stripes that mark this cotton camp collar shirt by Drakes aren’t melting in the heat. They’ve just been block-printed by hand, which gives them a slightly wavy, organic look.
BUY NOW ON DRAKE’S:
Commas Eclipse Camp Collar Silk Blend Shirt
A silk shirt makes a statement by virtue of its material alone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t double-dip with a provocative print, as demonstrated by this camp collar Commas piece with a trippy abstract pattern.

Bennett Winch x 24H Le Mans Helmet Bag
Talk about niche: in conjunction with Le Mans drivers Harry Tincknell and Alex Lynn, Bennett Winch has designed a bag to transport the serious moto enthusiast’s driving helmet and gloves in considerable style. Made in England from vegetable-tanned Italian leather and sealed with twin track zips, it’s enough to tempt even those without a driver’s license.

Aimé Leon Dore Crest Contrast Tote Bag
Much like the horseshoe crab, there’s little reason for the design of the classic canvas tote to evolve—it’s just that perfect. But it can afford a little decoration, in this case ALD’s floral crest logo.
BUY NOW ON AIMÉ LEON DORE:
3Sixteen Cabana Shirt in Natural Rope Embroidered Cotton
Think you need a Miami address to rock a Guayabera? Think again. 3Sixteen’s Cabana shirt, made with tonal rope embroidery, is a more approachable but no less characterful take on the tropical staple.
