It’s no secret we’re big fans of Target’s Goodfellow & Co men’s brand, and believe us when we say the current resortwear collection looks way more expensive than it is. From swim trunks and shorts to open-collar polos and button-ups, these pieces are resort-ready… or perfect for pretending you’re on vacation during your 9-to-5.

Prices start at just $15, and the collection includes some of the best men’s clothing for summer out there — crafted from breathable fabrics like linen, rayon, and cotton to keep you cool and comfortable all season long. You won’t find basic tees here (that’s for another roundup), but you will find unique standout pieces with a laid-back, vintage flair that brings the vacation vibes wherever you go.

Target makes it easy to shop your favorites with multiple delivery options, including online ordering, same-day pickup, and even local delivery for last-minute grabs. Pro tip: Target’s men’s clothing — especially the popular seasonal styles — tends to sell out quickly, so if you see something you like, snag it before it’s gone.

So, whether you’re packing for a getaway or just soaking up the sun in your backyard, check out our favorite resortwear picks from Target’s Goodfellow & Co men’s collection below.
