Searching for Summer Whites

Whether you follow those old skool rules concerning acceptable times of the year to wear white, there is no doubt that wearing it during the dog days of summer can really help with the heat. We still can’t figure out how hipsters wear black all year round.

We admit, it’s a bitch to clean (be sure to carry one of these with you at all times) but you got serious game when your picture ends up on Instagram in white pants on the waterfront. Here are six items we will be wearing this season:

Aether’s White Poplin Shorts

These brushed cotton shorts are the perfect length and weight for a beach walk or BBQ (actually, please don’t wear white to a BBQ)

Club Monaco’s Made in the USA Shirt

We love it when big brands work hard to bring us what we want. This is from the Made in the USA collection at Club Monaco and it is indeed tailored in Pennsylvania with a slim fit, front pocket and a limited edition so get to gettin’.

Michael Kors’ All Cotton Blazer

Tired of that navy blazer? So is your girlfriend. Spice it up with a white cotton one and be easily spotted amongst the crowds. This one from Kors is a great price to boot.

Saturdays Bro T Shirt

It’s definitely ‘Bro’ season at the beach, on the bike, in the pool.

Huf Scout Volley call cap with mesh crown

And you thought we would be putting you in a fedora… Although we do approve of a good straw hat, this mesh cap can weather summer sports a bit better.

Rivieras mesh and canvas slip ons

Speaking of mesh, these great slip ons from Spain are perfect to air out your feet without dealing with flip flops. They also just really look awesome.

UNTUCKit goes beyond shirts for an ‘Untucked shoe’ with Hari Mari
The most casual shoe from the leader in the elevated casual shirt

UNTUCKit has changed the way that we wear button-up shirts. If you are a millennial or earlier generation, you remember the days when every button-up shirt was made to be tucked in, with really long front flaps and a long tail in the back to keep the shirt in place once tucked. While that is quite helpful for your favorite dress shirt and your best casual shirts, it became a sloppy mess when you wanted to wear it more casually and untuck it. That is where UNTUCKit revolutionized the fashion world. Now, they are teaming up with a company known for some of the best shoes for a great flip-flop. The UNTUCKit x Hari Mari collaboration brings the best casual shoes to the leader of the casual shirt.

"We’re excited to partner with Hari Mari to create a product that perfectly aligns with the UNTUCKit lifestyle—relaxed, stylish, and versatile," said Chris Riccobono, founder of UNTUCKit. "These flip-flops bring together the best of both brands, delivering a truly unique product precisely created and crafted for our customers."
