Lifestyle and apparel company Southern Tide has teamed up with Hawaiian heritage brand Reyn Spooner for an island-inspired menswear collection tailor-made for summer.

The new collaboration sees the two celebrated coastal entities combining forces for a line of colorful clothes that embody the best aspects of both brands. This means the collection not only boasts the iconic patterns, fabrics, and prints of Reyn Spooner’s Aloha Spirit, but also features the moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and UV-blocking technology of Southern Tide’s performance wear.

This mix of legacy styling and modern-day fabrications makes The Southern Tide X Reyn Spooner Collection a one-two punch of functionality and design that could be a knockout for guys after a trendy seaside vibe this season. The line includes t-shirts, Southern Tide’s signature polos, Reyn Spooner’s famous Aloha shirts, shorts, and swimwear.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Southern Tide,” explained Reyn Spooner CEO Lynne Koplin in a statement. “Southern Tide has a youthful vibe and adventurous spirit. I am excited to combine our iconic prints with their performance technology to embrace a new generation of customers from coast-to-coast.”

Southern Tide X Reyn Spooner Intercoastal Performance Short Sleeve

Of the Hawaiian shirts in the new Southern Tide X Reyn Spooner collection, the Intercoastal Performance Short Sleeve is a particular standout. The vintage-inspired top is crafted from a nylon stretch fabric for excellent mobility, plus all the great quick dry tech mentioned above. If the practical specs aren’t enough to win you over, surely the groovy fabric, with its gorgeous mountainscape motif, will.

Another fun item in the line is the pair of Aloha Swim Trunks from Reyn Spooner, which set a classic garland of tropical white flowers against a dark navy background. A six-inch inseam puts these bad boys right in the sweet spot between long and short, hitting as they do just above the knee. They also feature a breathable mesh lining and natural stretch for optimized comfort all (beach) day long.

Southern Tide X Reyn Spooner Wave Print Performance Polo

A classic fit and UV sun protection along with moisture-wicking tech make this polo the perfect shirt for golf, Sunday brunch, or a day wandering the beaches of Waikiki.
