Mack Weldon

A t-shirt so comfortable, you'll buy it in multiples

You'll see Mack Weldon on this list multiple times because you can't get much better for men's essentials. When you're ready to graduate from graphic tees, MW's Silver and Pima Crew shirts will provide you with the highest level of comfort to carry you through the day.

Alex Crane

A pair of drawstring linen shorts

You're not doing summer correctly if your wardrobe isn't predominantly made up of linen. Alex Crane's Bo Shorts are made from sustainably grown French linen and come in over 20 styles. They'll be the only shorts you reach for from June through August.

Percival

A collab to keep you looking sharp all summer

Hollywood stylist Warren Alfie Baker created a '70s-inspired collection for Percival that is all-but-guaranteed to make you the most stylish guy among your friends. This Cuban collar shirt looks fantastic on its own, but even snazzier with a blazer over it.

Percival

A perfect pair of linen pants

If you need something breezy and breathable for a dressy summer event, Percival's linen trousers are the answer. They're also available in colors like light blue and dusty pink for someone really looking to turn heads.

Devil-Dog Dungarees

A work pant that doesn't feel stuffy

Companies have been slowly doing away with the remote work policy, which means the days of virtual meetings in sweats are coming to an end. Devil-Dog's chinos can provide similar comfort as your at-home attire, but with a more office-appropriate style.

Alex Crane

A summer date night shirt

Add a little linen to your life with this striped Ola shirt from Alex Crane. The brand prides itself in sustainable eco-friendly manufacturing practices while churning out some of the highest quality menswear around.

Devil-Dog Dungarees

A pair of the sturdiest jeans you'll ever own

No wardrobe is complete without that one pair of jeans that basically becomes a part of your body because you wear them so often. This relaxed straight fit offering from Devil-Dog Dungarees has been bringing those reliable pants to the masses for over 75 years.

Scotch & Soda

A hoodie you'll want to live in

Meet your new favorite piece of loungewear. Hoodies may be commonplace in collections from just about every brand out there, but Scotch & Soda really knocks it out of the park with this lavender option.

Mack Weldon

A pair of water- and stain-resistant pants

When the weather changes on a dime or you accidentally order the messiest option on the menu, you'll be glad you have these chinos on hand. As if that isn't enough, these pants are crafted with extra stretch material and a back yoke to prevent sagging.

Penguin

A preppy polo

A polo is the type of wardrobe item where it pays to build a little collection and have one in a variety of color options. Penguin is the brand to help start that collection and their Daddy Pique polo has developed a cult following among their customers.

Devil-Dog Dungarees

A pair of jeans that have a dressier feel

When you want to wear jeans but regular denim won't cut it, this khaki-colored offering from Devil-Dog Dungarees will do the trick. Constructed from the same signature material as that brand's other offerings, these pants will hold up for years, saving you money in the long run.

Taylor Stitch

A pant designed for both work and play

There are a lot of pant options in this collection, but Taylor Stitch's camp pant is as versatile as they come. They look like slacks, making them ideal for office days, but they feel like your favorite pair of jeans. This is one item you should consider buying in multiples.

Scotch & Soda

A striped linen top for end-of-summer style

Close your eyes and picture yourself hanging with friends next to a beach bonfire. What are you wearing? If it's not this green linen shirt, think again. This summery button-down is the perfect choice for covering up after a long day in the sun.

Buck Mason

A chambray shirt made from Japanese denim

Chambray may not be the first thing that comes to mind when planning out a look, but this western-style offering crafted from Japanese denim should not be overlooked. The light-weight fabric and pearl snap closures create a nice balance of comfort and style that any shirt worth your money should capture.

Scotch & Soda

A luxurious pair of joggers

Pistachio is having a moment again as both a flavor and a color. These 100% cotton joggers are bound to become the first thing you reach for when a new load of laundry is done and you'll want to immediately snag the matching sweatshirt.

Abercrombie & Fitch

A trucker jacket for fall

Between the olive color and the corduroy collar, this Abercrombie & Fitch offering just screams autumn. Embrace the cooler weather with style by keeping warm in this Kanga Workwear jacket made from cotton with a polyester filling.

Taylor Stitch

A new take on a classic fall/winter staple

There's no such thing as too much flannel. This baby-soft button-down can be worn on it's own or layered when temps really start to dip. It's also specially structured to avoid shrinking in the wash.

Buck Mason

A chino pant for special occasions

There are plenty of occasions where jeans won't cut it. On those days, reach for these Paperback Twill Ford pants from Buck Mason. They'll help take your look the extra mile when you need to step things up.

Taylor Stitch

A broken in button down

This may appear to be just any old button down shirt, but The Jack is anything but. The versatile oxford can be worn so many ways and it's made from dead stock fabric, which means supply is limited.

Devil-Dog Dungarees

A pair of corduroy pants that fit like a glove

When the summer heat is slowly replaced by an autumnal chill in the air, it also marks the return of corduroy season. You'll want multiple pairs to carry you through to spring and this pair from Devil-Dog Dungarees is as durable as their highly-regarded denim offerings.

Alex Crane

A chunky sweater for those frigid winter days
